● SPECIALIZED IVF ACUPUNCTURE
Steady Support for
Your IVF Journey
Two weeks of injections. Retrieval. The wait to see how many embryos survive. Then transfer—and the wait that feels endless. IVF follows a protocol. Your experience doesn't. At The Violette House, we use acupuncture to support you through each stage.Egg Quality · Transfer · Uterine Lining · Stress Management● WHO WE HELP
We Meet You Where You Are
These experiences are more common than you think — and you don't have to navigate them alone.✔ This Is Your First IVF Cycle
You're starting IVF and want to feel as prepared and confident as possible before your first cycle.
✔ Your Last Transfer Failed
You got pregnant but lost it early—or the transfer failed completely—and you're preparing to try again.
✔ You Have a Frozen Transfer
You have embryos on ice and want your lining thick, your body receptive, your transfer perfectly timed.
✔ This Is Your 2nd or 3rd Cycle
You've been through this—failed retrievals, failed transfers, chemical pregnancies—and you need more than protocol.
✔ You're in the Two-Week Wait
Transfer happened. Now you're symptom-spotting, analyzing every twinge, trying not to test early—and failing.
✔ You Want Every Advantage
You're doing everything—supplements, diet, acupuncture, meditation—because you refuse to wonder "what if" later.
● BACKED BY RESEARCH
Care That's Never Guesswork
Nothing about your care is left to chance. Every treatment is guided by research and thoughtfully timed around stimulation and embryo transfer, when research suggests acupuncture may have the greatest impact.
● WHAT WE TREAT
Supporting Every
IVF Milestone
Instead of one event, IVF is a series of moments—and we work each lever on its own timeline in your cycle.
● OUR PRACTITIONERS
Experience Behind Every Treatment
Dr. Nicole Lizzio (DACM) leads our fertility team. She trained at Blue Ova, a leading fertility clinic in San Francisco, and treated hundreds of couples across New England before founding The Violette House.
● OUR APPROACH
Care That Follows Each IVF Phase
Our IVF acupuncture starts 8–12 weeks before your clinic's cycle and follows every phase—retrieval, transfer, and the two-week wait.
Before Retrieval
Starting 8–12 weeks before your cycle, we support egg quality and hormonal balance—then gently ease anxiety as your body prepares for retrieval.
Around Transfer
The critical 48-hour window around embryo transfer is where we focus, supporting your body at the moment it matters most in this delicate cycle.
The Wait, and Beyond
Weekly sessions carry you through the hardest stretch—reducing anxiety, supporting implantation, and keeping you feeling steady and grounded.
● OUR LOCATION
Easy to Reach From Across the Region
We're at 207 Main Street in Groton, MA, welcoming IVF patients from across Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, just a short drive from home.
● PATIENT STORIES
IVF Acupuncture in
Their Own Words
Many patients describe smoother stim cycles, less anxiety, and feeling supported through the two-week wait.
After having gone through two failed transfers in the past, achieving this result has been meaningful.
