Do you feel underprepared to treat fertility cases, or wonder whether niching down could transform your practice?
In this episode, I’m joined by fertility acupuncturist Emily Marson, who shares why her practice's focus has always been exclusively on fertility and reproductive health.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why specializing in fertility and niching down can help you build expertise, confidence, and a thriving practice
• How integrating Western reproductive medicine with TCM can optimize outcomes for complex fertility cases
• Important considerations often missed in “unexplained infertility,” including uterine testing and male factor assessments
• How acupuncture supports fertility for couples, single parents, and same-sex families, and why consistent care is so important throughout the journey
Whether you're passionate about women's health or looking to deepen your fertility knowledge, this episode offers valuable insights for supporting patients with compassion and confidence 💜
