Enhancing Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) with Personalized Care

Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) for couples facing fertility hurdles, and the LGBTQ+ community may be a sought-after avenue. Dr. Rozenn blends time-tested wisdom with modern methods such as IUI and IVF. 

Her work with people undergoing ART is grounded in both research and the art of treating patients as individuals. For example, she uses the Cridennda Magarelli Acupuncture Protocol (CMAP) protocol with most female IVF participants, but customizes it by adding additional points that fit every patient’s constitution.

Acupuncture and ART Research

The research backing the CMAP protocol, developed by Dr. Rozenn’s close colleagues, Western reproductive endocrinologist, Paul Magarelli and Chinese medicine practitioner, Dianne Cridennda, includes over 800 IVF patients. 

A small summery of the benefits CMAP can provide to IVF patients, plus additional research-backed improvements Chinese medicine treatment can give IUI and IVF patients are:

  • Increased chance of a healthy baby in IVF patients over 37 by 50%
  • Increased chance of a healthy baby in all IVF patients by 15%
  • Higher quality cervical fluid, uterine lining, increased ovulation, and higher rates of healthy births in women undergoing IUI 
  • Decreased stress and anxiety in women underoing ART
  • Improved egg quality and quantity
  • Decreased chance of miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy
  • Improved endometrial receptivity
  • Reduced medication side effects 
  • Improved all aspects of semen quality such as volume, motility, morphology, and DNA

Overcoming IVF Challenges and Welcoming Healthy Babies

When people want to be parents and IVF can not help them, it is easy for despair to set in. Just this year, two of her patients aged 42 and 45 gave birth to healthy babies. Both of them came to see her for the first time in the midst of a failed IVF cycle. While devastated, both of them stayed the course, taking herbal formulas, and coming in for regular acupuncture treatments. Both of them fell pregnant within 6 months of their first visit.

“Dr. Maureen is not only kind and compassionate; she is extremely knowledgeable as well. I was given a 15% chance of conception by my fertility doctor, even with IVF! With her help I conceived on the first round and now have a beautiful baby boy. I recommend her to all of my friends for help with general health issues and fertility enhancement.”

Sally M. | Santa Cruz

“Dr. Maureen is an excellent acupuncturist. I was seeing her for fertility issues. My first appointment with her lasted about two hours. She listened intently and took notes on everything I had to say… I am so happy I found her and highly recommend her to others seeking fertility treatment. I will update this post as soon as I get pregnant! (update: I now have a 14 month old baby girl. While I did end up using a combination of Western medicine and acupuncture in the end, I still feel my experience with Maureen during that time was a crucial part of building my health)”
