If you are having difficulty conceiving, trying to get pregnant can be a nerve-racking experience. Fertility issues stir up anxiety in both partners and contribute to emotional stress in the relationship. In addition, many of the available therapies are invasive and costly, adding further stress. In the midst of this, you are supposed to relax, because that will help you to conceive.
I work with women to relieve some of the emotional stress around conception and encourage their bodies to conceive and bring a pregnancy to term. In addition I work with their partners to support healthy reproductive function and alleviate stress.
For prospective moms
With the women I first concentrate on bringing about full body relaxation and emotional balance with
Tui Na massage. Then I use
Chi Nei Tsang to influence the health of reproductive organs and dissipate any physical obstructions to conception. Next I work with
acupressure and
Jin Shin Jyutstu to help build the bodies reserves, so that you can get pregnant and have enough energy to carry a pregnancy to term.
For prospective dads
With the men I also concentrate on full body relaxation and emotional balancing with
Tui Na. Sometimes I work with
Chi Nei Tsang, but more often I use
acupressure and
Jin Shin Jyutsu
to increase male fertility as well.

A Real Gem
As an acupuncturist and RN specializing in fertility, I value Katharine’s unique and priceless skill set. I have found few persons well trained in traditional massage methods such as Chi Nei Tsang and Tui Na; but Katharine is one of those rare gems. Her techniques are perfect to used in conjunction with acupuncture and current methods for Assisted Reproduction for both men and women alike.
