Services
Fertility Acupuncture
Fertility Acupuncture combines traditional techniques with Western medicine to enhance reproductive health. We address hormonal imbalances, improve egg quality, and support uterine lining thickness. Treatments reduce stress and increase blood flow to reproductive organs, optimizing natural conception and IVF success rates. Our approach integrates personalized herbal medicine and nutrition guidance for comprehensive care.
Pregnancy Support
Pregnancy Support services use acupuncture to alleviate morning sickness, fatigue, and anxiety while promoting fetal health. Regular sessions reduce miscarriage risk and prepare the body for labor. We address breech presentations and provide postpartum recovery support, combining moxibustion and gentle massage to ensure maternal well-being throughout all trimesters.
Hormone Balance
Hormone Balance treatments target conditions like PCOS and endometriosis using acupuncture and herbal therapy. By regulating cortisol and reproductive hormones, we restore menstrual regularity and improve metabolic function. Patients experience reduced PMS symptoms, stabilized mood, and enhanced fertility through tailored lifestyle and nutritional interventions.
Telehealth Consultations
Telehealth Consultations offer remote access to personalized treatment plans and health assessments. New patients receive 45-60 minute sessions covering medical history and wellness goals. Follow-ups include progress tracking and adjustments to acupuncture, supplement, or dietary recommendations, ensuring continuous care from the comfort of home.
Postpartum Recovery
Postpartum Recovery services address fatigue, lactation issues, and emotional wellness through acupuncture and nutrition counseling. Treatments accelerate healing after cesarean sections, reduce postpartum depression symptoms, and restore energy levels. We provide tailored self-care strategies to support new mothers during the critical fourth trimester.

Absolutely amazing experience. Caring and compassionate and I've never felt so relaxed. The whole staff is incredible and accommodating. I 100% recommend this for anybody going through fertility treatments. Such an emotional experience and they make it as relaxing as possible. Incredible!

Tiffanie at Nest is amazing. She is so kind and thoughtful in her approach. I saw her weekly and she was able to noticeably reduce stress and tension that set me on a path to have a healthy baby (and mom). Very grateful to you Tiffinie and would highly recommend working with her!

This review is really long overdue but having Tiffinie treat me really changed my life as she is truly compassionate and a gifted acupuncturist. My weekly treatments helped improve my stress, digestive, and fertility issues greatly which boosted my quality of life. I've also received treatments from Veronica who is a gifted acupuncturist and highly recommend as well.

I called and spoke with Bethany about wanting to supplement my IVF treatments with acupuncture.
Unfortunately, due to shelter in place and the difficulty of safely opening, their office is not doing in person visits at this time. However, she was happy to recommend another acupuncturist who specializes in fertility. It was just so sweet of her to think of my best interests, and I think it says a lot in that she prioritized what was best for me as a patient. Instead of telling me to wait until their office opens, she knew that getting treatment earlier would provide me the best success in my IVF

I originally found Nest while trying to conceive and my visits with Tiffinie quickly became my favorite times of the week. When I eventually conceived and had my daughter my visits tapered off in the chaos of becoming a new mom. A year and a half later, I found myself with a bad cold and desperate for relief, so I called Nest. Not only did they fit me in to their schedule, but when I could not find a sitter, Veronica accommodated me bringing my 16 month old daughter (who is VERY active and curious) to the appointment. It was such a great experience that I went back again in the same week to give

I am so happy to be working with Tiffinie, Alameda location! I started seeing Tiffinie, once a month to support with hormone regulation and other personal concerns. She maintains space at each session to check in, ask questions, deeply listen, and let me process whatevers going on. After, seeing results - I increased my treatment to once a week. My treatment plan not only includes Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs, Tiffinie helped me take a closer look at
nutrition, excerise (nothing to vigorous) and my labwork. I am now having a better understanding of my body for long term wellness.
