But at Aphrodite Fertility in San Diego, our care goes beyond fertility. Women’s health is a lifelong journey, and we’re here to support every chapter—from hormonal shifts to postpartum recovery, and everything in between.

Meet Aphrodite Fertility: A Sanctuary for Healing

Who We Are

Aphrodite Fertility is more than just a clinic—it’s a community. Founded by expert acupuncturists Emily Marson, Ghoncheh Ayazi, and Chloé Banales, we specialize in fertility, IVF, prenatal, and postpartum acupuncture. But what sets us apart is our deep dedication to whole-woman wellness.

Our Approach to Women’s Health

We combine the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine with modern science to create personalized, compassionate care. Our treatments are tailored to each woman’s unique needs, helping her feel grounded, supported, and empowered.

More Than Fertility: A Full-Spectrum Focus on Women’s Wellness

Treating Hormonal Imbalances

From PMS to irregular cycles, acne, and fatigue—hormonal imbalance can show up in many ways. Acupuncture helps to gently nudge your endocrine system back into harmony, so you feel more like yourself again.

PCOS: Managing More Than the Symptoms

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can feel like a puzzle—acne, weight gain, mood swings, irregular periods. At Aphrodite, we look beyond the surface. Our treatments work to improve insulin resistance, regulate your cycle, and restore balance.

Natural Support for Endometriosis

Endometriosis pain can be exhausting. Acupuncture can’t cure it, but it helps reduce inflammation, ease cramping, and support pelvic circulation, giving you real, lasting relief and a better quality of life.

Easing the Transition: Perimenopause & Menopause Support

Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings—menopause doesn’t have to mean suffering. Acupuncture offers a gentle, natural way to support your body through the transition and beyond, without the side effects of hormone replacement therapy.

The Science Behind the Healing

How Acupuncture Works for Women’s Health

Think of acupuncture like a gentle reset button for your body. It improves the flow of Qi (energy), boosts circulation, and stimulates your body’s natural healing response.

Regulating Hormones Naturally

By targeting specific points, acupuncture helps your body release endorphins, balance cortisol, and support the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which controls your hormone production.

Boosting Circulation & Reducing Inflammation

Improved blood flow means better oxygen and nutrient delivery to reproductive organs, reducing inflammation that’s often at the root of many women’s health issues.

The Emotional Side of Women’s Health

Stress, Anxiety, and Mood Support

Let’s be real—hormones and emotions go hand in hand. Whether you’re dealing with stress from fertility treatments or the emotional rollercoaster of PMS or postpartum, acupuncture can help restore your inner calm.

Creating a Safe, Empowering Environment

You deserve to feel seen and heard. Our team is here to walk beside you, offering non-judgmental support, a listening ear, and a space where you can exhale.

Postpartum Healing: Caring for Moms After Birth

Supporting Hormone Recovery and Lactation

After baby arrives, your body goes through another major shift. We use acupuncture to regulate prolactin levels, support milk production, and help ease postpartum blues or anxiety.

Physical and Emotional Recovery Through Acupuncture

From C-section scar support to pelvic floor recovery, we help new moms heal, restore energy, and feel emotionally supported in the months after birth.

Your Journey, Personalized

Customized Treatments Just for You

No two women are the same—so no two treatment plans should be either. We take time to understand your full health picture and craft a plan that evolves as you do.

Collaborating with Your Doctors and Specialists

Whether you’re seeing a reproductive endocrinologist, OB-GYN, or therapist, we’re here to collaborate—not compete. Many of our patients are also undergoing IVF, IUI, or other medical treatments.

Combining Acupuncture with Herbal & Supplement Protocols

We often recommend targeted herbs and supplements to enhance your results, and we’ll guide you through the right protocols to fit your body and goals.

Community + Care: The Aphrodite Experience

A Team That Truly Cares

Emily, Ghoncheh, and Chloé aren’t just acupuncturists—they’re passionate advocates for your well-being. They’ve been through many of these journeys themselves, and they genuinely care about yours.
