What I Support
Chinese medicine is built on the idea that every symptom has an underlying pattern — something specific that the body is working through — and that real treatment addresses the root cause, not just the signal.
In my clinic in Honolulu, I work with women navigating:
- Irregular or absent ovulation
- Thin endometrial lining
- Poor egg quality
- Diminished ovarian reserve
- Endometriosis
- Fibroids
- Blocked fallopian tubes
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Unexplained infertility
- IUI or IVF support
- Male factor — sperm count, motility, and morphology
- Prenatal care and pregnancy maintenance
For women who've heard that everything looks normal — unexplained infertility is one of the areas where Chinese medicine often has the clearest framework for what to look at next.
If you see your situation in this list... or you're not sure where you fall —You're in the right place.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine isn't an add-on to acupuncture — in my practice, it's doing a completely different job. Acupuncture directs the body's energy toward the areas that need support. Herbal medicine nourishes those same areas, giving the body what it needs to actually respond.
Both are part of treatment from the beginning.
How Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Support Fertility
In my practice, acupuncture works by improving circulation and directing the body's energy toward the areas that need the most support — including blood flow to the reproductive organs, which helps the ovaries and uterine lining function more efficiently.
Chinese herbal medicine works alongside this, nourishing the same systems at a deeper level.
The way I think about it: acupuncture opens the door, and herbal medicine helps the body walk through it.
What changes week to week isn't just how you feel — it's what your labs and ultrasounds are actually showing. If your lining is thinner than we'd like, or your follicle counts are shifting, or your FSH moved between cycles, that changes what I'm doing with both the acupuncture protocol and the herbal formula. The herbs especially can be adjusted precisely — there are different formulas for different phases, different presentations, different moments in a protocol.
For women conceiving without IVF or IUI, the focus shifts slightly — less about stimulation protocols and more about cycle regularity, ovulation quality, and making sure your luteal phase is giving an embryo the best possible environment to land. Your labs and your cycle data still guide what I'm doing, just in a different rhythm. You can find more detail in my blog and FAQ!
Supporting the Body to Function at Its Best
When I work with a woman on her fertility, my role is to help her body function at a higher level. In many cases, that means helping a woman's body in her 30s or 40s respond more like it did in her 20s — when fertility was naturally stronger.
I do this by identifying where the body needs support and working to restore balance through both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine — each doing a different job.
A Personalized and Committed Approach to Care
I promise to do my best to understand your body, identify areas that need support, and create a thoughtful plan tailored to what I find. I cannot guarantee that you will become pregnant under my care, but I make it a point to bring every bit of my 20+ years of in-clinic experience to every single patient I see. I understand that you've likely been on this road for a while — and I don't take that lightly.
Meet the practitioner
Edie Uchida, L.Ac. & Chinese Medicine Practitioner
Most of the people who find me have already been through more than they expected.
Over more than 20 years of practice — including years inside a fertility clinic, reviewing real lab results and ultrasound reports as treatment progressed — I've worked alongside many patients through something that is genuinely hard. On the body. On the heart. On the parts of life that don't pause for a cycle to finish.
What I've learned in all that time is that the most important thing isn't a protocol. It's attention — real, specific, ongoing attention to what's actually happening with you. And staying with you through it.
When You're Ready, You're Welcome to Reach Out
When you're ready to take the next step, the waitlist is open — and I'm here if you have any questions before you decide to work with me.
I also offer remote consultations for patients outside of Hawaii, via Zoom or phone. In those sessions, I review your history, labs, and imaging, and provide specific treatment recommendations you can bring to a local acupuncturist you trust.
You'll receive a confirmation email right away. My office will follow up within 1–2 days with a call to confirm your spot and answer any questions.
