Integration – What makes Yinstill truly unique from our competitors is our many years of integration with two of BC’s largest IVF clinics; the Pacific Centre for Reproductive Medicine (PCRM) and Genesis Fertility Center.

What to Expect

We understand how difficult infertility and other reproductive health challenges can be. It is our goal to help put you back in control of your life, and work with you to determine your unique needs so we can offer the support and treatment options necessary to get pregnant, create a happy healthy family, and/or restore the quality of life you deserve. There is no right or wrong time to start acupuncture. No matter where you are at on your fertility journey, we can help you optimize your overall reproductive health, increasing your chances of conception naturally or with assisted reproductive technology such as IVF. We also work with you throughout your pregnancy to ensure a healthy mother and baby.

First step – we want you to know that Yinstill is the right fit for your reproductive health needs. Set up a free 15 minute phone consultation with one of our doctors to get your questions answered before booking your initial appointment. Call 604.873.9355 now to schedule a time that works for you.
Initial appointment – the next step. After you book your initial appointment with us you will be sent an email with details and a link to our online digital intake forms to be completed at least 2 days prior to your appointment. If you are trying to conceive we encourage both you and your partner to attend. Your practitioner will have had a chance to go through your intake history so the initial meeting is spent ensuring your needs, expectations, and questions are heard. A short acupuncture treatment is also included. We want you to go home feeling heard, confident, and clearly informed what moving forward will look like.
Plan – if you do not have a target how can you hit it? We start with a detailed plan that is individualized to your specific needs. Complete with a summary of your medical history, health related goals (i.e. fertility is a manifestation of holistic health), recommendations for acupuncture and herbal treatment, self care at home, timelines, and prognosis, we create a guide to help keep us on track as we work together toward the fulfillment of your dreams.
Acupuncture – it doesn’t hurt. Almost everyone that chooses acupuncture as a part of their life reports it being the most relaxing hour of their week. The managing of emotional stress, and the regulation of hormones, the immune system, and blood flow/nutrition to the reproductive organs, coupled with its safety, have made acupuncture a primary choice of medical treatment when reproductive health issues are concerned.
Chinese herbal medicine – commonly used with reproductive health conditions. A daily administration of herbal medicine may be recommended depending on your needs. When used together with acupuncture the true healing effects of TCM are realized.
Diet and lifestyle coaching – as part of every plan we counsel and coach you toward a healthier you in every aspect of life. From the choices you make with your food and the supplements you take, to the exercises you do regularly and way you manage stress, we will be there with you all along the way to help with guidance and support.
Ongoing treatment – Within a few weeks, you should notice significant changes in many of your health goals and overall sense of well-being. These are signs that your body is becoming optimized for conception.
Costs – the initial TCM appointment fee is $130 and all follow up acupuncture appointments are $90. Chinese herbal medicine costs vary depending on need (average $25-$50 per week).
IVF embryo transfer day – evidence to date shows increased pregnancy rates when acupuncture is administered on immediately before and after the procedure on embryo transfer day. We are on call 7 days a week to offer this service at both PCRM and Genesis Fertility.
Success stories – when the recommended treatment plan is committed to, and enough time is given to foster the true cultivation of your health and fertility potential, the final step in our journey together is the hope and faith that you will become one of our many success stories!

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

TCM is an ancient medical healing system that utilizes acupuncture and herbal medicine, diet and lifestyle coaching, to restore holistic health in the body mind and spirit. With respect to reproductive conditions, TCM specifically works to; 1. promote hormonal balance, regulate ovulation and the menstrual cycle, 2. improve blood flow and nutrition to the reproductive organs, 3. regulate immune function to reduce implantation failure and early loss, and 3. reduce emotional stress and pain.

Current medical research shows that acupuncture can optimize chances of getting pregnant (IVF or natural conception).
Our clinical data shows that acupuncture reduces perceived stress levels and pain.
Local reproductive medical specialists report observing the powers of Chinese medicine and acupuncture in regulating ovulation and menstrual cycles.
Countless women sing the praises of how acupuncture and Chinese herbs moderate their PMS and increase their sex drive.
Women with recurrent pregnancy loss often attribute their ability to finally carry to term to regular acupuncture.

*Most medical plans cover all or partial costs for acupuncture treatments
