“Although I entered Cup of Life for fertility assistance, I was pleasantly surprised to receive holistic healing from the ground up, far beyond acupuncture. After 3 months of weekly visits, I received a positive pregnancy test. We highly recommend Cup of Life for all manner of healing needs.”

A different lens on what is getting in the way
Most people arrive here after a long stretch of tracking apps, ovulation strips, temperature charts, diet changes, supplements, and appointments that ended with fewer answers than they started with.
Chinese medicine looks at the whole system rather than a single number. Circulation to the reproductive organs, the rhythm of the cycle, sleep, digestion, inflammation, and the nervous system all get examined together, so the work is aimed at the root pattern rather than the symptom on its own.
It sits alongside conventional care, not against it. Some of our patients are trying naturally, some are preparing for IVF or IUI, and some are in the middle of a protocol right now.
What happens after you get in touch
Three steps, and nothing is committed to until you decide it fits.

Who we help

- Are trying to conceive naturally and want support that works with the body
- Have been trying for 12 months or more and want a holistic, non invasive approach
- Are living with PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, polyps, thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune conditions, low AMH, or advanced maternal age

- Have been told no options remain and want to look at things through a different lens
- Want to work with an experienced, board certified reproductive acupuncturist
Yes, we support male fertility too. Care is designed for individuals and couples, for every part of the journey.
How acupuncture for fertility supports natural conception
Nothing here is a promise of a result. This is the work itself, and what each part of it focuses on.
Circulation to the reproductive organs
Treatment focuses on blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, the delivery system for oxygen and nutrients during follicular development and lining growth.
A steadier hormonal rhythm
Sessions are timed to the phases of the cycle, working with the body’s own signalling through the hypothalamic, pituitary, and ovarian pathway rather than overriding it.
A balanced nervous system
Acupuncture engages the parasympathetic state, the rest and digest side of the system. In Chinese medicine, the body reproduces when it feels safe.
Support for both partners
Sperm regenerates over roughly 72 days, so male factor gets its own attention with acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle guidance rather than being an afterthought.
Chinese herbal medicine and nutrition
Targeted formulas and clear, specific supplement guidance replace the guesswork of choosing from a shelf, matched to the pattern found at your intake.
Mind and body support
Practical tools for stress, sleep, and emotional resilience, plus a second path of care under the same roof if energy healing or hypnotherapy is something you want.
Acupuncture is not a replacement for medical fertility treatment. It is supportive care that works alongside it. Nothing on this page is intended to diagnose or treat any condition. Individual results vary.

The person you will be talking to
Michael has given over 30,000 treatments and holds board certification in reproductive medicine, which means he is fluent in IVF protocols, lab values, and timing as well as in Chinese medicine.
- Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, Yo San University
- Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine, Pacific College of Oriental Medicine
- Fellow of the Acupuncture and TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine (FABORM)
- Advanced training through Maternity Acupuncture Mentoring and Peer Support
- Member of the Obstetrical Acupuncture Association
- Nationally certified with the NCCAOM, licensed by the State of New Hampshire
He and his wife Satya, a Reiki Master Teacher and clinical hypnotherapist, married in 1998 and spent years unable to conceive. They eventually conceived their daughter through IVF, and opened Cup of Life in 2014 to offer the kind of compassionate, integrative care they wished they had been given.
It is why the first conversation here is a real one, and why nobody will tell you to just relax.
Book a free consultation with MichaelWhat our patients say
“I had been struggling with infertility issues for over a year and was diagnosed with a diminished ovarian reserve. I decided to try acupuncture before going the IVF route. With the help of Michael’s plan, I was able to reduce my stress and inflammation, and my husband and I got pregnant naturally.”
“After 8 months of trying to conceive without success, I found Cup of Life. After meeting Michael and Trish, who are both warm, welcoming and professional, and having a thorough, holistic consult, I decided to move forward with acupuncture treatment. Shortly after my very first treatment, which was aligned with my cycle, I found that I was pregnant.”
“I sought out help with Cup of Life after a diagnosis of infertility from PCOS. From the moment I had my free assessment, I knew this was the right place for me. My cycles went from 60 or more days apart to a perfect 28 day cycle. Thanks to their holistic treatment plan, I have a more balanced life.”

Common questions
What actually happens at the free consultation?
It runs 15 to 20 minutes, in person in Nashua or on Zoom. You fill in intake forms beforehand and Michael reads them ahead of time, so the conversation starts with your story rather than with paperwork. You tell him what has been happening, you ask whatever you need to ask, and he gives you his honest read on whether and how he can help. He also walks you through what working together would look like, the process, the approach, and the rates. If it feels right and you are ready, most people book their intake appointment at the end. Needing time to think, or to talk it over with a partner, is a completely normal outcome.
What does treatment cost?
Rates are walked through openly during the free consultation, so you have real numbers before anything is committed to. That way the money conversation with a partner happens with facts rather than guesses. The consultation itself is free.
Do you work alongside my doctor or fertility clinic?
Yes, routinely. We collaborate with OB/GYNs, midwives, and reproductive endocrinologists. Acupuncture is not a replacement for medical fertility treatment, and for anyone in IVF or IUI we add pre and post transfer acupuncture and schedule around the protocol.
Is it too early for me to come in?
There is no waiting period here, and no threshold you have to cross first. Acupuncture works with the body and with the cycle rather than against them, so it is useful at any stage, whether you are preparing to start trying, two months in, two years in, or in the middle of a medical protocol right now.
What is right for you specifically is exactly what the free consultation is for. Michael looks at your history, where you are right now, and what would genuinely help at this stage, then gives you his honest read on whether and how he can help.
How long before I notice anything?
It varies with your history and what is going on underneath. Many of our patients experience earlier changes in cycle regularity, sleep, and stress levels within the first six to twelve weeks. Because a full follicular development cycle takes around 90 days and sperm regenerates over roughly 72 days, three months is the usual window for the deeper work. Individual results vary.
Does it hurt?
Acupuncture uses fine, sterile, single use needles and most people find it deeply relaxing, often falling asleep on the table. Mild bruising or brief tenderness at a needle site can happen and settles quickly. Performed by a licensed practitioner it is a low risk treatment.
Can my partner be involved?
Yes. Male factor is a genuine part of a great many fertility pictures and is often the least examined. Partners are welcome at the consultation, and we treat men as well, with acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle guidance.
Do you offer anything beyond acupuncture?
Cup of Life runs two paths under one roof. Alongside acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and functional nutrition, Satya offers Reiki, clinical hypnotherapy, and Leela Therapy for emotional healing and nervous system regulation. The paths combine when that is what someone wants.
