Heidi Brockmyre Fertility Acupuncture provides specialized acupuncture and holistic support for fertility patients from 3065 Rosecrans Place, Suite 104, San Diego, CA 92110 — in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego, a quiet residential and professional area between Old Town and the harbor. The practice is led by Heidi Brockmyre, a licensed acupuncturist with a national reputation in fertility-focused integrative medicine, built through clinical practice, online educational programs, and extensive patient-facing content about reproductive wellness. The practice serves patients who are actively pursuing fertility treatment and those who are using integrative tools as a complementary support. Patients can browse general fertility resources at the California fertility clinic directory.
Practitioner and Approach
Heidi Brockmyre is a licensed acupuncturist (LAc) who has dedicated her practice to fertility and reproductive health support. Unlike generalist acupuncture practices that may offer fertility care as one of many treatment areas, Heidi's practice is built entirely around this specialty — giving her a depth of clinical experience with fertility patients that generalists cannot match.
The practice's approach draws on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) principles while maintaining an evidence-informed perspective on the research landscape for acupuncture in fertility applications. Heidi and her team are familiar with IVF and IUI cycle timelines, the specific demands of stimulation phases, the emotional weight of the two-week wait, and the particular concerns of patients who have experienced pregnancy loss. This specificity of knowledge shapes every patient interaction at the practice.

Evidence and Patient Education
The evidence base for acupuncture as a fertility adjunct continues to evolve. Research on acupuncture around embryo transfer has produced mixed results in large trials, while studies on stress biomarkers, uterine blood flow, and quality-of-life outcomes during IVF tend to be more consistently positive. Heidi Brockmyre's practice is transparent about this landscape — the goal is to help patients make informed decisions about how they want to integrate acupuncture, not to overstate efficacy claims.
A significant component of Heidi's broader work — including her online courses, podcasts, and educational content — involves teaching fertility patients how to understand their bodies, their cycle data, and the emotional and physical demands of fertility treatment. This educational orientation extends to in-person patients, who often find that their sessions include meaningful conversation about lifestyle factors, cycle interpretation, and emotional wellness alongside the acupuncture treatment itself. Patients pursuing clinical fertility treatment should review the most current cycle-level data published by the CDC's ART Surveillance program and the SART Clinic Summary Report.
Patient Experience
Heidi Brockmyre's practice has a following that extends well beyond San Diego — her online educational programs and content have reached a national and international audience of fertility patients. In-person patients at the Rosecrans Place office are drawn from across the San Diego metro, and many patients who have followed Heidi's online work specifically seek out her in-person services when they are in the city.
The Point Loma location provides a calm, professional, and private setting that is well-suited to the emotional and physical sensitivity that fertility patients bring to their care. The practice's focus — entirely on fertility and reproductive wellness — means patients never feel like a niche add-on to a busy general wellness practice. The specificity of the expertise, the quality of the patient experience, and the depth of Heidi's reputation in the fertility community are the defining features of this practice.
Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Insurance and Financing
Acupuncture coverage varies by health plan. Some California health plans cover acupuncture for certain indications or as a general wellness benefit; others do not. Patients should verify acupuncture coverage directly with their insurer before scheduling. The practice can provide session pricing for self-pay patients, and package options for patients in ongoing fertility treatment cycles may be available. Online consultation and educational programs may offer alternative ways to access Heidi's expertise for patients outside San Diego.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the address of Heidi Brockmyre Fertility Acupuncture? The practice is at 3065 Rosecrans Place, Suite 104, San Diego, CA 92110, in the Point Loma neighborhood.
Is acupuncture a substitute for IVF or medical fertility treatment? No. Acupuncture is an integrative support modality, not a clinical fertility treatment. Heidi's practice works alongside — not instead of — clinical fertility care. Patients with a fertility diagnosis should work with a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist for medical treatment.
Does Heidi Brockmyre offer online programs or consultations? Yes. Heidi has developed online educational programs and resources for fertility patients who cannot access in-person care or who want to complement their clinical treatment with wellness education. These are available through her website.
Can I receive acupuncture while taking IVF medications? In most cases, yes — acupuncture is generally considered compatible with IVF stimulation medications. However, herbal medicine recommendations are typically paused during stimulation or when on specific clinical medications. Heidi's team will coordinate with your clinical timeline to ensure any integrative support is appropriate and timed correctly.
