About the Course

The Advanced Fertility Acupuncture Mastery is a comprehensive program designed to elevate acupuncturists into true fertility specialists through an integrative approach. This master-level course synthesizes the full spectrum of Western reproductive medicine ranging from hormonal and ovarian disorders, tissue pathologies, reproductive immunology, lab interpretation, IUI and IVF protocols, and embryology - with the depth and nuance of Eastern medicine, including differential diagnosis, acupuncture strategies, herbal medicine, supplements, and lifestyle therapeutics.

”
The AFAM mentorship has hands down been the most clinically useful series of CEUs I’ve taken in the 13 years that I’ve been licensed.

”
The Advanced Fertility Mentorship with Aphrodite was nothing short of life-changing for me as a practitioner. It deeply expanded my understanding of fertility in a way that felt both profoundly educational and deeply embodied. This mentorship gave me the clarity, language, and confidence to truly identify and treat complex fertility challenges with intention, precision, and compassion. This was something I had been yearning for in my practice since graduating.

”
I discovered the AFAM course while seeking to advance my knowledge of Western fertility treatments and integrate TCM with assisted reproductive procedures. The course led by Emily, fertility acupuncture specialist, has been profound. The combination of content-rich recorded classes and her ten-week live mentorship sessions provided immense value to my practice. Beyond her clinical mastery, Emily also shares helpful insights on practice management, business operations, and marketing. Her passion for helping families grow through the integration of TCM and Western medicine is truly inspiring.

”
I highly recommend the Fertility Acupuncture Mentorship Program. Emily is incredibly generous with what she shares—personable, open, and able to speak off the cuff with real clinical experience behind every answer. She welcomes any question and provides thoughtful, practical guidance. This course offered far more than fertility acupuncture training; it was filled with clinical pearls, business insights, and real-world strategies I was able to apply immediately. I left feeling more confident, supported, and inspired in my work with IVF patients.
