Postpartum Acupuncture
Fatigue
Postpartum fatigue stands is a reality for many new moms, stemming from the physical rigor of childbirth, erratic sleep schedules, and the constant demands of newborn care. Acupuncture is a potent remedy, providing relaxation, stimulating energy levels, and improving overall wellness. Our protocol entails acupuncture sessions, which mitigate stress and increase vitality. Along with acupuncture, our customized herbal prescriptions are created to bolster the body’s recuperative processes and provide enduring energy. This integrative approach empowers new mothers to feel stronger, more positive, rejuvenated and vivacious.
Baby Blues
The baby blues, manifesting as mild mood fluctuations, anxiety, and irritability, afflict many of new moms. These emotional ups and downs frequently arise from hormonal upheavals and the stress of acclimating to motherhood. Acupuncture can help facilitate mood stability by inducing the release of endorphins and other mood-enhancing neurotransmitters. Our approach incorporates regular acupuncture treatments directly addressing these emotional disturbances. Our herbal formulations are created to bolster emotional health, significantly reduce anxiety, and foster tranquility. These therapies deliver effective relief from the baby blues, aiding new mommies in handling this transitional phase with greater ease.
And significantly increase your odds of having a take-home baby.
Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression, a more serious issue can severely impair a mom’s capacity to care for herself and her infant. Symptoms may include sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety. Acupuncture is very effective in alleviating depressive symptoms by modulating neurotransmitters and diminishing stress. Our protocol entails acupuncture sessions aimed at reinstating emotional balance and enhancing mental calmness. In addition to acupuncture, our herbal medicine formulas are specifically created to support mental health, elevate mood, and combat depression. Our holistic approach offers significant relief for those suffering with postpartum depression.
Postpartum PTSD
Postpartum PTSD can occur following a traumatic childbirth experience, manifesting as flashbacks, severe anxiety, and emotional numbness. Acupuncture serves as a formidable instrument in managing PTSD by fostering relaxation, reducing anxiety, and enhancing sleep quality. Our approach includes specialized acupuncture treatments focusing on addressing PTSD symptoms and facilitating emotional recovery. Additionally, our herbal medicine blends are designed to pacify the nervous system, diminish stress hormones, and augment overall emotional resilience. These synergistic treatments assist new mothers in recovering from traumatic experiences and regaining emotional stability.
I went the natural way called Mike Berkley, even though he specializes in infertility he is a healer.
Right hand to God when I got off the table stopped itching and has not bothered me since and I was walking with almost no pain at all‼️
Berkley gave me my life back. I recommend him more than I can even say he is a true healer and a gentle , kind person who really cares‼️🙏🩵
I began seeing Mike in February of 2023. Having had previously favorable experiences with acupuncture, I wanted to do everything I could as we sought to have another child. Acupuncture is, of course, less invasive than many of the medical fertility procedures, so I really wanted to start here. As such, I wanted to see someone at the top of their game as a practitioner–and all of Mike’s reviews supported he was just that. And, I just wanted to be as efficient with my time as possible!
Mike was extremely prompt in contacting me after my initial inquiry. He worked with my schedule; and, from the get-go, I was impressed with everything. His office is beautiful–wonderfully curated to make his clients feel as relaxed as possible. Truly, you feel like you’re in a spa! And, as a practitioner, Mike is skilled–for those on the fence about acupuncture, I assure you that with Mike, there is no discomfort at all. In fact, during many of my visits, I fell asleep.
Now, I sought this practice to help me conceive. And after a few sessions (I think I had seen Mike three or four times at this point?), I thought that to be the most efficient with my time, I would see Mike while simultaneously seeing a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE). I had my initial visit with my RE, and got the requisite bloodwork before beginning a possible journey of IUI. Well, I got a call later that day after my RE appointment that I was pregnant. So, I never actually needed to get IUI!
I then continued seeing Mike, right through my 12 week mark (I think…maybe it was a few weeks more?). Of course, things were working so well that I wanted to do everything I could to ensure my pregnancy remained both viable and healthy. I asked Mike on more than one occasion if I could continue seeing him; and, this is where his character and honesty really shined. He said this wasn’t necessary, as research doesn’t support continued visits made an impact after this point of pregnancy. Here I was, willing to spend more money at his business, and he declined. I think that speaks volumes about Mike, who he is, and the kind of honest business he operates.
Fast forward a few months, and I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy! I do not understand the nuances of the practice of acupuncture and Eastern medicine; but, I can indeed say that all it can do is help. And, I am so grateful to Mike that his work helped me grow my family! I cannot recommend him enough!
Postpartum Anxiety
Postpartum anxiety, typified by worry, restlessness, and physical issues such as a racing heart, is a common affliction among new mothers. Acupuncture can effectively manage anxiety by calming the nervous system and engendering tranquility. Our regimen involves regular acupuncture sessions targeting points associated with anxiety relief and stress reduction. Our customized herbal blends further bolster this process by incorporating herbs known to alleviate anxiety and promote relaxation. This cohesive approach alleviates the symptoms of postpartum anxiety, enabling new mothers to feel composed and focused.
Sleep Deprivation
Sleep deprivation is a real issue for new mothers, frequently resulting in irritability, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating. Acupuncture can enhance sleep quality by regulating the body’s circadian rhythms and reducing stress. Our protocol includes acupuncture treatments designed to promote restful sleep and overall relaxation. In tandem with acupuncture, our herbal medicine formulations aim to support healthy sleep patterns, reduce nighttime awakenings, and improve sleep duration. This dual approach helps new mothers achieve better sleep, enhancing their overall health and well-being.
At The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness, we have devised a comprehensive protocol amalgamating acupuncture and customized herbal medicine to address these prevalent postpartum issues. Our treatments are rooted in both ancient wisdom and contemporary scientific research, ensuring safe and effective care for new moms. By addressing both physical and emotional challenges, our protocol aids new moms in more complete recovery and facilitates a healthier, more balanced transition into motherhood.
We can’t wait to meet you!
Mike is a licensed and board certified acupuncturist as well as a board certified herbalist. He is a fertility specialist at The Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness in the Midtown East neighborhood of Manhattan, New York.
My wife and I wanted to start a family. We tried, and we failed repeatedly. I was not an acupuncturist then and had no understanding or belief in it. That did not hold much weight with my wife. We both underwent testing and found out that I had poor morphology and poor motility, and she had anti-sperm antibodies. Nancy saw an acupuncturist and herbalist, who also convinced me to go for treatment. Three months later, Nancy was pregnant. We now have a twenty-nine-year-old, healthy, happy, and successful son. This is when I became a believer. I decided to go to acupuncture school. I went for four years for acupuncture studies and then two more years to study herbal medicine. I knew from the first day at school that I wanted to specialize in treating others who were suffering from the terrible and challenging battle of infertility. I have spent the last twenty-seven years making my dream come true by helping my patient’s dreams come true. I am so grateful for the path I chose. A life dedicated to helping others has shown me a satisfaction I would have never known. I am thankful to my wife, and I am grateful to my patients.
This experience led Mike to obtain his degree in acupuncture from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine’s New York campus and his National Board Certification in herbal medicine. Equipped with the necessary license and fueled by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Mike studied Western medical approaches and the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine about infertility treatment. Through rigorous study and invaluable clinical experience, he developed unique acupuncture protocols and proprietary herbal formulas, tailoring them to each individual or couple seeking his assistance.

After childbirth, many new mothers experience a range of physical and emotional symptoms collectively known as postpartum conditions.
