If you are told “you must use an egg donor, sperm donor, embryo adoption or adoption as your only fertility options,” this is a critical time to get a second opinion at our Fertility Center at Eagle Acupuncture. In most cases, we successfully help these couples have a baby when other forms of medicine have failed.

Remember, it has been proven in a study, that you are TWICE as likely in ONE THIRD of the time to get pregnant using our medicine compared to Fertility Drugs and In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and a fraction of the cost over a 12 month period.

Women’s Health Expert, Kristen Burris’ patients were interviewed by KBOI Channel 2 for their exceptional response to treatment of a wide array of menopausal symptoms. These patients exclusively used Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine to address all of their complex medical issues.


Meet Bridgit

Reiki is a complementary health approach in which practitioners place their hands lightly on a person with the goal of directing energy to help facilitate the person's own healing response.  It is based on a belief in an energy that supports the body's innate or natural healing abilities.  I am a second degree certified Reiki Practitioner in Usui Shiki Ryoho in the Usui System of Natural Healing.  The practice I studied is a simple practice in which I allow myself to be open to the loving life-force energy I call God (others may call Source, Abba or Universe.) By placing my hands directly on specific points of the body this energy is able to flow through me into the recipient and the recipient's body is able to utilize where and how it is needed.

I found Reiki while in the midst of my fertility journey. My husband and I had exhausted western medicine and I was searching for alternative answers to our unexplained infertility.  Reiki became a quiet, meditative place where I could reconnect with my inner-self while feeling God's love and support surrounding me.  It has become a tool for me to utilize in conjunction with other therapies as well as a space for me to lean into when feeling overwhelmed; over-extended or exhausted.  

During a session I ask clients to check their to-do's at the door and allow themselves 60 minutes of uninterrupted time to them-selves; something I feel most of us don't allow enough.  This quiet time-out with energy flowing to and through the body can restore our bodies in ways we didn't even realize were depleted.  My hope is to create a space where others can restore, rejuvenate and relax while feeling more connected to themselves and their highest good.

Reiki with Bridgit description:
In this 60 minute Reiki session you'll be asked to leave your to-do's, worries and stresses at the door allowing the loving energy of Reiki to flow to and through your body.  This session is to restore, rejuvenate and relax the body to support your innate ability to naturally heal.

Meet Rose

I have always possessed a deep intuition, a gift I recognized since childhood. This innate connection led me to the world of sound healing and energy work, where I have flourished as a practitioner. Certified in Intuitive Sound Healing, USUI/holy fire III - Reiki I/II, Vibration Healing Elements, and as a Yin Yoga Practitioner, my diverse training has only deepened my approach and understanding. Through my own pain and healing, I found my passion to help others discover their ability to heal themselves. By harmoniously blending sound and energy, I guide individuals on transformative journeys, helping them reconnect with their true selves. As a beacon of wellness and self-discovery, I am thrilled to share these healing modalities at Eagle Acupuncture, inspiring patients to embrace their inner essence and embark on their own paths of self-renewal.
