A holistic approach to women’s health
At Elevate Wellness Center, we support women through every stage of life — from the reproductive years through menopause and beyond. Led by Melinda Choy, L.Ac, through Rooted Functional Wellness, our women’s health and fertility care combines the time-tested wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with the science of functional medicine to create a truly integrative, patient-centered approach. For over 20 years, Melinda has worked with women experiencing a range of hormonal and reproductive conditions, including:
Fertility Support: Natural & Assisted
We understand the emotional and physical toll that fertility challenges can bring. Our fertility care is compassionate, comprehensive, and designed to support your body’s natural ability to conceive — whether you’re trying naturally or undergoing IUI or IVF.
Using acupuncture, nutritional support, and targeted functional medicine strategies, we focus on:
Regulating menstrual cycles
Supporting egg and uterine health
Improving stress resilience and hormonal balance
Enhancing success during assisted reproductive treatments
Acupuncture may be recommended more frequently, such as twice per week, during the stimulation phase and around the time of embryo transfer or before, during, and after the freezing process.
Working with Melinda Choy will be a deep dive, supportive journey into yourself. The personalized treatments will explore to find the root causes of disease and symptoms through the lens of lifestyle empowerment and prevention rather than only symptom management. Grounding into the strong roots of strengthening the physical, emotional and spiritual planes will allow for the ability to weather any storm.
elevate does not accept insurance to see Melinda Choy through Rooted Functional Wellness services. We can provide a superbill for the acupuncture portion of your treatments that can be submitted to insurance for possible reimbursement.

when to start for fertility
A Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) fertility journey involves a holistic approach that aims to rebalance the body for conception and a healthy pregnancy, often beginning three to six months before attempting to conceive.
Treatment plans are personalized and may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary adjustments, and stress management, focusing on the root causes of infertility rather than just symptoms. Key goals are to regulate hormones, improve blood flow to reproductive organs, and support overall vitality and a healthy internal environment.
Treatments typically involve weekly or bi-weekly sessions over several months. The plan is adjusted over time based on the body's response, often involving tracking the menstrual cycle & basal body temperature to inform treatment timing.
