Acupuncture and Holistic Medicine

Roughly 1 in 8 couples experience infertility; it can be extremely isolating and daunting.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicinal formulas for enhancing fertility originated over 2,500 years ago, making it the oldest continuously used system of medicine in the world. It is all-natural, free of drugs, hormones, and steroids, and has been proven safe and effective for all that time.
At Gulf Coast Acupuncture and Fertility, we specialize in supporting you through the continuum of fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. Kimbrell has helped families grow for over two decades as a Fertility Specialist and an Acupuncturist.
