THREE THINGS YOU CAN EXPECT WITH US

40+ Years of Expert Experience

Jen Paschen and Julie Gaudette have over 40 years combined experience in fertilty acupuncture!

We've been helping folks create families for nearly two decades! We are well- known in Chicagoland and beyond for our expertise and clinical success!

At The Nest we've seen and treated every kind of fertility diagnosis/situation- those who are TTC naturally, IUI/IVF/FET preparation, folks with recurrent miscarriage, endometriosis, PCOS, endometritis, and more.

We've seen and treated it all. We are completely passionate about our work and we want to help you realize your dream of having a baby!

Multifaceted Approach

Let's be honest here- we're fertility experts and we know that getting pregnant can sometimes take a lot of effort. But we got you! Rest assured- we will throw the kitchen sink at it if we have to! Our multifaceted approach allows us to access and influence blood flow within the body- resulting in: hormone balance (thyroid, FSH, AMH), decreased inflammation, reduced stress and stress related hormones. All of these aspects positively affect fertility outcomes- improved egg quality and quantity, uterine lining, and reduction of stasis (fibroids/cysts/polyps).

We teach you how to tune in to your body and we give you the tools for self-care at home. We keep it simple and realistic.

Supportive Care

When dealing with fertility issues, consistency, rhythm and routine matter. We get it. This fertility stuff can be a full time job on top of a full time job. It is imperative to properly support the body while trying to conceive.

Whether you are TTC naturally, or undergoing assisted reproductive therapy, high stress levels, anxiety, and side effects of hormone drug therapy can be difficult to manage. The goal is to keep stress under control, calm the nervous system and stress hormones, support proper blood flow, and allow the body to get real rest. Good health starts with the mama- healthy mamas make healthy babies! We are here to support you every step of the way.

“If your struggling with fertility stop reading this and call Jen (nest owner) ASAP. Jen is brilliant and will be an advocate for you. Jen not only helped me get pregnant but stay pregnant and helped me recover post birth. Thank you to the nest you will always hold a special place in my heart.”

— Meghan G.

“My husband found The Nest as I was 40 weeks pregnant and trying everything and anything to avoid induction. I ended up with 3 appointments that 40th week, two with Julie and one with Shelbi....I did end up having to be induced at 42 weeks but I was able to have a safe, non epiduralized labor and only pushed for about 15 minutes! I can't say with 100% certainty that the acupuncture caused this to happen but I am certain it helped me relax and go into the induction feeling good. I will definitely go back for baby number two!”

— Zara M.
