Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments improve reproductive health by enhancing blood flow to ovaries and uterus while regulating hormonal balance. This therapy helps reduce stress, improve egg quality, and increase pregnancy success rates when used with assisted reproduction. Patients benefit from improved hormonal regulation and reduced side effects from fertility medications.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine addresses root causes of fertility issues through personalized treatment plans and advanced diagnostic testing. This approach identifies and corrects imbalances in hormones, nutrition, and immune function to optimize reproductive health. Patients receive customized protocols to improve overall wellness and fertility outcomes naturally.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations support fertility by balancing hormones, improving egg and sperm quality, and regulating menstrual cycles. Our sulfur-free, pesticide-free herbs from Taiwan enhance treatment effectiveness while minimizing side effects. Patients receive tailored combinations to address specific reproductive health concerns and support overall wellness.
Diagnostic Testing
Advanced diagnostic testing identifies underlying factors affecting fertility through comprehensive hormone panels and metabolic assessments. Tests include DUTCH hormone analysis, food sensitivity screens, and genetic markers for personalized treatment planning. These diagnostic tools help create targeted interventions to optimize reproductive health and pregnancy outcomes.
Reproductive Organ Massage
This specialized massage technique improves reproductive health by enhancing blood flow and removing blockages in the pelvic region. It helps reposition reproductive organs, break down adhesions, and balance hormones through targeted abdominal manipulation. Patients experience improved uterine lining thickness and reduced symptoms of endometriosis and fibroids.

Allison is a miracle worker and one of the reason why I was able to finally successfully carry and deliver healthy twin boys. We have tried for years and gone thru various fertility treatment. Allison ensured I was healthy and ready for the ivf and helped me thru my pregnancy to ensure my boys had the best chance possible. Saying thank you for all she's done is hardly enough. Thank you for helping me thru my journey and delivering my beautiful babies.

Alison is the best acupuncturist I have been to. I started going to her about a year ago for help with fertility. She is warm and caring, and always makes me feel taken care of. She is really knowledgeable and explains the treatment and reasons for it so I understand what's going on. She's helped me immensely with nutrition and supplements, when I was feeling overwhelmed by all the information out there.
She's helped me to lower my stress levels with exercise and lifestyle suggestions. She's also been my part time therapist and a shoulder to cry on when I was discouraged by failed fertility treatments

I first saw Dr. Hunter several years ago and returned this year as I started having more and more digestive and chronic pain issues. She is sweet, kind, and gentle and I always feel refreshed after seeing her. I love that she has Saturday appointments. She is willing to answer any question and if she can't at that moment she will find an answer. She always responds to emails promptly. With her guidance and her advice in respect to nutrition and supplements, I was able to reduce a chronic inflammation marker (ESR) into a normal range after medical doctors urged me to take steroids. I have done outside

Alison is the best acupuncturist I have ever visited. She was very helpful for me and was incredibly gentle. I began seeing Alison years ago and have continued to visit her over the years whenever I have any excuse. I always leave her office feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. She has really helped me with some chronic pain issues as well as my allergies. I highly recommend her services to everyone. I have never had a problem getting in touch with Alison or scheduling an appointment when I needed one.
