Sophie has worked with fertility patients for many years. Over this time she has developed a treatment plan that calls upon many different modalities. She has studied and read extensively around the subject of fertility and incorporates any appropriate methods that will help her patients become parents.
Sophie uses the following methods to enhance fertility:
I specialize in treating:
What does a visit entail?
The first visit takes about one and a half hours. In this visit we discuss your health history in detail. This visit also includes your first acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture visits after this initial meeting will take about 45 minutes to one hour in duration.
How many treatments will I need?
I prefer to see patients for three months before they try to become pregnant, either naturally or via IVF. The average number of visits per month is around six.
My Fees
I try to keep my treatments affordable. I charge $75 for the initial treatment and $50 for subsequent treatments. I do not accept insurance but I can fill out a form that you can submit to your insurance company. Fees at the Westlake Village Office will vary - call for details.
Forms
If you have internet access - copy page 1 and 2 of these fertility forms and bring them with you for your appointment. Take your time filling them in. We will discuss everything together when you come in to see me.
Recommendation
I recommend that any patient who has had trouble conceiving should be evaluated by a Ob/Gyn or a Reproductive Endocrinologist before trying alternative methods. Chinese Medicine can be very effective in enhancing fertility but if there are problems such as blocked fallopian tubes or other structural problems Chinese Medicine will not be helpful.
