Every visit, I’ve felt genuinely supported and treated with so much kindness and compassion. The acupuncture sessions have helped me feel more relaxed and grounded, especially during the waiting and uncertainty that comes with IVF.
I’m so grateful to the entire team for being part of our journey and for giving me a little extra comfort and hope along the way. ❤ I will always look back on this part of our IVF journey with so much gratitude. 🌈 ✨”

“I would give 10 stars if I could. The team is absolutely phenomenal. As soon as you walk in the vibe is so soothing and relaxing and it always smells soo good!

You can tell that the team really takes pride in making you feel as comfortable as possible. But that’s just the beginning. I went to my first appointment with a major needle phobia, thinking people who rave about acupuncture are crazy, and honestly feeling really disappointed that I have to jump through these hoops to become a mother. Even crying for days leading up to my appointment and to Dr. Swasti during consultation because I’m such a wimp! But boy was I SO WRONG! If you’re like me and terrified for your first appointment or even unsure, take this as your sign to BOOK THE APPOINTMENT HERE! It is so worth it!! My appointments are now the highlight of my week! Dr. Swasti and her staff are some of the most kind people I have ever met. Dr. Swasti and Angeli (I think that’s her name) at the front desk, I cannot thank you enough for being so wonderful, and being a part of this journey with me. You girls rock! 💖”

“Love everything about their services. From Dr. Swasti to team and massages. Was on a pregnancy and loss journey for a while and no luck. Until I consistently came here and just like that I had a successful healthy pregnancy and birth. Highly recommend her, she is very caring.”

“I wanted to share my wonderful experience with Dr. Swasti. I was fortunate enough to meet her at a very trying time in my life, that is my pregnancy journey. She is a very soulful person and really listens to you and your concerns to devise a plan that is just right for you.

I have to say that I lost all hope of ever having a child but things changed for me and now I have a beautiful healthy baby girl with me. For those who are looking for answers and going through a stressful fertility journey, please, I urge you to try fertility acupuncture. This helped me with so much. I got to a point I would start crying outside in the parking lot at the fertility clinic, traumatized by all the procedures over and over again without any luck. Acupuncture helped me calm down, refocus and recenter my energy. We had Dr. Swasti help us through our journey and now we are proud parents of a baby girl. I would again ask her to help us for future pregnancies. Please, I can’t express enough when I say try it and you will not be sorry.”

“I have had eczema mainly on my face and hands for as long as I can remember. Been dealing with this for about 8 years now and was tired of using the same ointments and steroid creams that dermatologists would prescribe me.
Read more
Yes, the pain and inflammation would calm down but it doesn’t treat it to go away. I had changed my diet and the brands on anything that goes on my skin such as lotions, perfumes, soap etc., but it wasn’t enough. I’ve been wanting to try acupuncture since I’ve heard good things about it helping eczema. I was kind of scared of trying out acupuncture because of the needles, but I knew I had to at least try it out. I’ve been seeing Dr. Swasti and I cannot believe how good she is! She has a great technique and is very gentle that you can’t even feel the needles. She is so sweet and you can tell she’s very compassionate about her job. I’m so glad I experienced something new and have her as my acupuncture doctor. As of now, after a few appointments and doing exactly what she recommended to take, I haven’t seen my skin so clear in so long — it’s been about 3 months that my skin hasn’t flared up. I highly recommend trying acupuncture and seeing Dr. Swasti.”

However, we truly hope to have a child of our own. It has felt like every door was closing, and I was starting to lose hope. Then I began seeing Dr. Swasti, who has been incredibly knowledgeable and gave me renewed hope. Overall, my experience with her has been amazing, and I highly recommend her.”

“Doctor Swasti and her team have been a life saver during our fertility, and now pregnancy journey.

Acupuncture has eased symptoms and prepped my body for pregnancy — I truly believe our IVF transfer took on the first round due to the pairing with acupuncture. Prior to pregnancy, this helped keep cycles regular and calm nerves during the process. Hands down would recommend 🙌”

“June 2022 was my first appointment. Prior to this I had 13 positive tests and no baby. I instantly fell in love with the doctors, care, and atmosphere.

I read the book suggested, took my herbs, followed all the protocols and I went every single week with a one hour drive each way. By October of that year I got pregnant and had my little girl. 10 months after her, I wasn’t trying. My second month having my period back and I got pregnant again!!! My baby boy was born January 2025! Truly a miracle worker ❤”

“I went to see the doctor 1 week before my second frozen embryo transfer. The doctor recommended I do 4 sessions before the transfer and 3 times after the transfer.
Read more
After my acupuncture appointments my face would be flushed all day like back when I was a teenager. Even my husband would make a comment about it. This is how I knew acupuncture was helping my blood flow. During this cycle my IVF doctor kept my protocol pretty much the same, except she added a Plasma Rich Protein injection. The only other thing that I did different was add acupuncture. Five days after my frozen embryo transfer I was already testing positive. This is a great place and in my opinion I truly believe acupuncture helped my embryo stick.”

Dr. Swasti is above and beyond. She is a good listener, always positive, caring, and she takes her time comforting me, especially when I am on my emotional gymnast moment. I felt comfortable with Dr. Swasti, like I’ve known her for so long. She’s part of my dream fertility team and a friend. I couldn’t imagine going through my fertility journey without her. I also had a chance to see Dr. Wheeler through some of my visits and he was awesome, supportive and caring. Lastly, got my two lovely ladies Jasmine and Aidee who are very good at what they do and so helpful! My overall experience with Acupuncture Fertility Specialists was superb and highly recommended. The fertility journey is not an easy road to take and definitely not for the weak and faint hearted, but having this kind of support system and an outlet makes a lot of difference. And yes, I am now celebrating my pregnancy journey.”

“The most restorative and responsive Eastern Medicine care and bodywork I have ever experienced in my decades of receiving care in these modalities.

What really stands out is the kindness, the listening, the honoring of the patient, and the genuine care that the practitioners bring, alongside their substantial experience and deep professionalism. As a man who is not trying to have more children, I wasn’t sure about coming in when a female friend, who has an autoimmune condition like I do, referred me, because of the name of the clinic. I can assure you, the amazing team here will take care of and help to heal anyone and everyone who is interested and open to healing — men and those interested in health beyond fertility included. When you see the dozens of photos in the serene waiting room of happy families and patients, you will recognize the look in their faces of people who are radiating the glow of those benefiting from family wellness, health, and healing they did not know was possible. I cannot recommend Dr. Swasti and her team enough! Wow.”

“I came to Acupuncture Fertility Specialists about 5 months ago before my 3rd IVF embryo transfer and since we were doing a kitchen sink approach for that cycle I decided why not throw acupuncture in the mix too.
Read more
My IVF doctor recommended I see Dr. Swasti and I am so glad I listened. Dr. Swasti’s approach is so gentle and kind. Her skill of placing needles is unmatched, I hardly feel anything and it doesn’t hurt or feel uncomfortable. I always leave feeling so zen’d out and honestly the worst part of it is when they knock on the door to let you know the session is over. I did acupuncture with Dr. Swasti before and after my embryo transfer and this round finally worked — I am 18 weeks pregnant today! I highly recommend this place!! Even if you don’t need help fertility-wise, they do acupuncture for all types of ailments. Also, Daniela and Jasmine at the front are so sweet!”

I am so thrilled that after about 2 full months of appointments, I finally received a positive test after our final IUI attempt!! The doctors have been amazing in their expertise, kindness, and the office is always so welcoming. I am continuing my treatment in the hopes that their care will make my pregnancy smooth, long term, and successful. Of course it is hard to pinpoint exactly what has helped, but my first trimester has been amazing so far! And so I will be continuing with this amazing office until I no longer can!”

Her and her team have been so caring and calming through our long, long experience. They are so flexible with your schedule which is important because our bodies don’t work on a schedule.
I highly recommend entrusting Dr. Swasti with fertility acupuncture. Having her there with us on transfer day made the world of difference and I know continuing acupuncture in her care will keep me healthy through term.”

The zen music that plays throughout the facility and your room just sets the mood right! As soon as I met Dr. Swasti we jumped in and went over the consultation questions. I felt very comfortable! Today was my second visit and after my treatment I felt so relaxed, just like the first treatment! I always stay about 10 minutes after my treatment to drink tea as suggested by Dr. Swasti.

“Dr. Swasti and her team are incredible. I have PCOS and very long cycles. I was barely able to tell when I was ovulating prior to working with her.
Read more
I spent a year at an infertility clinic being shuffled around, not feeling like a human and never knowing the person I saw upon each arrival there. We suffered a miscarriage a year and a half ago and was tired of being pumped with drugs.
I had two friends reach out to me after getting pregnant solely from fertility acupuncture, one of which worked with this office specifically. My first appointment I was nervous, stressed out, had a very high heart rate in general and very fragile, and Dr. Swasti was understanding, helpful and listened. After my first appointment I literally texted my husband telling him that he may think I was medicated because I was so calm after my first acupuncture session. After the first month I started noticing that my heart rate dropped significantly and I started having shorter cycles.
6 months of going weekly, we now are pregnant and are well past our first miscarriage marker. This is solely from weekly acupuncture, herbal items she suggested and Dr. Swasti’s advice through it all. The receptionist and other doctors are also so caring. I never once felt like a number compared to my previous experiences with infertility places.
Thank you to Dr. Swasti and her team for giving me back my hope and helping me feel more like myself throughout the entire process.”

Before I started going to see Dr. Swasti, I had experienced 3 years of unexplained infertility along with 3 miscarriages.

“My husband and I struggled with infertility for a little over a year. I came across Acupuncture Fertility Specialists on Yelp and started going biweekly.

The providers here are so knowledgeable and gave me hope that we would be able to get pregnant naturally. Fast forward several months and we became pregnant with our first child. When I was 40 weeks and 3 days, I was ready for our baby to come naturally and wanted to avoid induction. I made an appointment on a Tuesday morning to help induce labor. Within 24 hours I was in labor and our baby girl had a beautiful and healthy delivery.
I would recommend Acupuncture Fertility Specialists to anyone who is pregnant or struggling with infertility. I am so beyond grateful!!”

“It’s a boy! Our fertility journey began in Spring 2020 and ended in Spring 2023. My husband and I began losing hope after several months of unexplained infertility and suffering back to back 1st trimester miscarriages.
Read more
It all seemed hopeless and IVF was out of our price range. Looking at alternative options we turned our focus to acupuncture, hearing about the success some people had with regular visits and Chinese herbs. A quick Yelp search brought us to Acupuncture Fertility Specialists where we met with Dr. Swasti who gave my husband and I hope as well as a heavy dose of various Chinese medicine and practical tips. After starting weekly acupuncture sessions, a fertility massage session and being diligent about my Chinese herbs, my husband and I were able to conceive after only a couple months. We continued with the weekly acupuncture sessions with Dr. Jaime DeGuzman throughout my first trimester and monthly sessions throughout my pregnancy, and the end result was a beautiful baby boy! We wholeheartedly believe acupuncture and Chinese herbs gave my body that extra boost to carry. I would recommend Acupuncture Fertility Specialists! I have continued to see Dr. Jaime DeGuzman for my postpartum care and really appreciate his compassion, care and support throughout this fertility journey. We are so thankful to your entire team of acupuncture care! We are so proud that our beautiful son is an acupuncture baby!”

“I cannot say enough about the positive impact acupuncture has had on my fertility journey. I am now 29 weeks pregnant and I truly believe that the regular acupuncture and day-of visits contributed to the success of my first embryo transfer.

Every session with Dr. Swasti and Dr. DeGuzman was relaxing. They were both very warm and demonstrated their care through asking me about the details of my appointments at Kaiser, giving recommendations for lifestyle adjustments, and sharing my joy at every positive milestone. I will absolutely return if I need support with encouraging labor or managing pain later on in my pregnancy. I am very grateful!”
