Blue Ova Health & Acupuncture San Francisco

Blue Ova is more than just acupuncture, fertility care, and pre- and perinatal care…Blue Ova is a *lifestyle*. I came to Robin and her team two years ago, after experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss and seeking guidance in all the unknowns that my fertility’s future held. Having never tried acupuncture or had a fertility/health coach, I didn’t know fully what I should expect. From meeting Robin for my first consultation to starting my first acupuncture sessions with Jessica and Evelyn (who were both so easy to talk to and very thoughtful around my care), a newfound sense of hope and excitement in the potential for living a healthier lifestyle and hoping one day I could achieve a live birth was reignited. And so my journey began:November 2022: Blue Ova 101. I began learning all things nutrition (foods for my cycle and body-warming foods/drinks), supplements, sleep, fertility exercises, resources to read up on, and even eliminating common toxins and striving for a more EWG-life. This is what I mean when I say Blue Ova is a lifestyle!December 2022: Blue Ova 102. Learned more about the potential underlying contributors to my RPL. Robin and her team coached me on the specific medical exams and labs that I should ask my OB for, and how to advocate for myself in the world of western medicine.January 2023: Fertility decisions. During my weekly sessions, Robin (and Jessica & Evelyn who I primarily saw) provided me with general education and resources/clinics for my fertility options, which ultimately led me and my husband deciding to have our embryos tested.February 2023: We did our first egg retrieval and PGA testing with an outside clinic. After yielding 3 PGA normal embryos from our first round, Robin helped craft an even more catered individualized treatment plan for us going into our 2 retrieval in hopes we’d yield more normal embryos.March 2023: It worked…all the micro shifts that Robin/team added in including red light therapy helped to boost a handful more of great quality embryos!May 2023: Our first transfer failed unfortunately, but me, along with the Blue Ova team, who I met with primarily during this time, Robin, Tanja, and Allison, prevailed! They recommended I added in women’s probiotics, a detox cleanse, red light therapy, and a break (for my body, and central nervous system).August 2023: After integrating all of the interventions as tailored exactly for my needs, we were pregnant!Fast forward to 38 weeks later, we finally had our sweet angel baby in our arms. We could not have braved our way navigating our fertility journey and the healthcare system without the support from Robin et al, but also from our doula and my therapist (specializes in IVF/pre-perinatal topics), yoga instructor, and prenatal massage therapist, all of who were recommended through Blue Ova.All of the office staff are so wonderful and welcoming, the clinic is very clean and serene, there are options for super early morning sessions or late evening ones too (for those with tight schedules!), and it’s in the beautiful heart of Noe Valley. All boxes checked!And, if you couldn’t tell by my novel of a review that Blue Ova is really the best in the game, this investment in yourself, your health, or whatever journey you are on is 100% worth it.

I love Blue Ova, a friend that I depend on. The acupuncturists are attentive, experienced, and gentle. It’s not painful at all. They share tips and provide advice that help me understand my body better and me relax whenever I need it. I recommend it to everyone!!

I am so grateful to the staff. The two acupuncturists I saw (Evelyn and Tanja) were amazing. I had three failed IVFs in the past before I booked with Blue Ova. No eggs or blasts due to egg quality. They pushed for me to get a second opinion to do mini IVF and an endometriosis diagnosis.Stuck to Robin’s supplement recommendations to a T and had two acupuncture sessions a week. I prepped for my fourth IVF, I have a baseline of 1 follicle with AMH of 0.46 so not great to begin with. Managed to get 4 follicles with mini IVF and 4 eggs! Which is way more than the doctor even expected with mini IVF. I can’t recommend Blue Ova enough.Update 11/21/24: I did end up pregnant and am continuing my session with Blue Ova

I met Stephanie Martine for my 15 minutes Consults about Acupuncture and it was a great experience! Stephanie was great with assessing my goal and answered all my questions. Looking forward to my acupuncture session coming in a few days!

Tanja is the best! Always feel good after a treatment with her. Highly recommend!-kathy h

I went to Blue Ova for acupuncture during my pregnancy and postpartum. I worked with Evelyn as my primary acupuncturist and Robin as a consultant. I had a wonderful experience there and found their care very comprehensive. I loved getting health tips and emails via the consultations and found the acupuncture relaxing and helpful to address my pregnancy symptoms. Evelyn was really wonderful ensuring all my needs were addressed. Laura at the front desk was also super friendly and helpful.

I have been going to Blue Ova for years and have told many friends to go there for specific needs or general health. They have supported me with my 2nd pregnancy and afterward. They truly care about helping you and provide the care for a specific issue or for the long term. I feel so much better after I leave a session. It enables me to get some rest and recenter.

I loved my massage with Aimee! She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled. Highly recommend you book a visit with her whether you are pregnant, postpartum, or just wanting a great massage! The pressure she used was perfect for me; deep, but not too intense. I will definitely be back and will be referring my patients to her. Thanks so much for making this almost 9 months pregnant body feel good, Aimee!

I cannot say enough good things about Robyn and her team! It is an understatement to say that she truly cares about her clients, and does everything in her power to advocate for your individual best health! You will not be disappointed with Blue Ova; they are an amazing group of highly skilled, compassionate, and caring practitioners. 11/10 stars for Robyn!!!

Stephanie was great at listening and answering all my questions. She used her expertise knowledge and provided a great game plan for my next steps.

Tanja was so kind caring and amazing! She truly made my experience one of the best & I would highly recommend her & this clinic to anyone!

The welcoming staff and spacious waiting area and beautiful decor impressed me right from the beginning. They are patient and knowledgeable and every treatment left me peaceful and content.

Thank you Ova Blue team, I am really grateful for every acupuncture appointment. Youve all been supportive, empathetic, and very professional. Today, after meeting with Evelyn, I feel rooted and at peace.

I couldnt recommend Blue Ova more highly or with more enthusiasm! I saw Robin throughout my pregnancy and had two pre-natal massages with Aimee that were incredible.The entire atmosphere of the practice makes you feel relaxed and welcome. Robin is warm and compassionate, easy to talk to about symptoms and issues. Her treatments are also incredibly effective- I left every session feeling great physically and mentally. I followed Robins recommendations for herbs and supplements and Im happy to say that I felt great right up to my due date. I was even planning to go in for a session on the day I went into labor!Dont hesitate, Blue Ova is remarkable, as are the ladies behind it!

I had my second acupuncture treatment today with Jessica and it was just perfect! Jessica took the time to listen and understand my problem before proposing a very targeted treatment to relief the pain ive had for weeks. Highly recommend to try acupuncture at this place, as an alternative to traditional medecine and in parallel with a physical therapy program. Will be going back to hopefully eradicate my muscular pain once and for all. Big thank you Jessica!

Robin and the Blue Ova Team are truly amazing. The clinic is clean, safe, and very invested in their patients. Everyone is so kind, knowledgeable and intuitive and truly helps support you through your fertility journey. I couldnt recommend the clinic enough! They are the experts of fertility acupuncture and overall health here in the Bay Area.

Allison is a wonderful practitioner. She listens and is very knowledgeable. She has a very kind presence and I always leave feeling like I’m in a much better mind / body space than when I arrived!

I met with Stephanie for the first time today to discuss my GI map lab results and she was wonderful. She explained my lab results in a way that I could understand and she was extremely comprehensive and patient with me when I had questions. Im looking forward to working with her through my treatment.

Blue Ova is fantastic! I go to blue ova for acupuncture, functional nutrition and supplements. I’m so grateful to have them close by, as I think that going has really helped me have an easy and healthy pregnancy.

So far my experience with Blue Ova Health has been wonderful. I am 36 weeks pregnant, and have been coming for the past 6 weeks. Some things that we have addressed with my sessions are circulation, back pain, nutritional optimization for the baby, and sleep (for me). After appointments I have a noticeable decrease in my back pain, feel incredibly relaxed, and sleep well. I have been feeling great overall and the baby is super strong and healthy from my recent doctors appointments. In addition to the acupuncture itself, the appointments with the owner Robin have helped me to develop an entire nutritional and homeopathic plan that have incorporated new recommendations on foods to eat, probiotics, DHA, electrolytes, meditations, and a daily wellness tea to my regime. I feel so good knowing that I am doing everything I can to bring a healthy baby into this world. And today we began my birth prep acupuncture which will hopefully help me to have a shorter, smoother, and on time birth :) Stay tuned...

Even though Blue Ova is primarily a fertility clinic, my experience of having regular treatments and available herbal expertise to help with my immune system issues has been great. I appreciate the compassionate and professional care given by my practitioner, Tanja as well as the restful environment in the clinic.

Tanya and her team at Blu Ova are terrific. Ive know Robin for a long time and have happily continued with my acupuncture treatments with Tanya. Im sending my daughter there now as well. I would highly recommend them!

Michelle is amazing! I appreciated her thoughtful attention and advice to channel some personal creativity during the next few weeks. I’ve only had 3 sessions at blue ova, but feel I’ve been going for years. Thank you for the welcoming and kind environment you all provide!

Jessica Chimento Is always my favorite go-to acupuncturist. Knowledgeable, kind, gentle, and I barely feel the needles when she puts them in. The little things about blue ova and Jessica make a big difference, ie she dims the lights before turning them off so when they go back on it’s not super bright, the relaxing music drown out any sounds outside the room, heated tables are so nice on a cold day, the scheduling app is super helpful as well. I have always had a great experience there.

Robin and her staff at Blue Ova are absolutely wonderful. From scheduling, consultations and treatments I felt at ease and in great hands throughout the process. I found Blue Ova through a friend of a friend as I was looking for a skilled, but not overly expensive, acupuncture clinic for my neck and back pains. I had tried massage to heal the pain for the past few years, but I only found it to be effective for a week or two before I would start to feel pain again. After explaining my troubles during consultation, Robin assured me she had the right method of treatment to get the results I was looking for; little did I know that she would help to subdue the pains I had altogether and only after TWO TREATMENTS!!!! Thank you Robin, my only regret is that since I am pain free and have been for quite a while (nearly 3 years since treatment), I cant go back to give them more of my business! Hopefully this review helps just a little...THANK YOU ROBIN AND BLUE OVA!!!!

I have now been to Blue Ova three times and was treated each time by a different acupuncturist. Each has their own style and touch but all have been exceptional. For me,Tanja has proven especially skillful, both with acupunture and cupping.

The entire staff at Blue Ova Health and Acupuncture are both skilled and caring. Although their focus is on womens health, they have all contributed to the post-surgical healing and strengthening of my leg and foot. They have also recommended supplements that have aided and sped up my healing process. I couldnt recommend a group of health professionals more highly.

I have been going here for acupuncture with my wife for some months now and really enjoy it and the staff there. Evelyn & Tanja have been phenomenal and have really healing energies. I highly recommend Blue Ova.

Each week as my new acupuncturist Allison D. helps to ease my mind, guiding and helping me through ivf to the first steps of my first trimester! Allison’s gentle and light approach to each needle eases all of my anxiety. Grateful for Allison’s help and time.Jessida helps create a Professional, relaxed environment, which makes acupuncture a better experience for my weekly appointments. Jessida is receptive and grateful for her time.

I love this place, and always enjoy coming back. Thanks so much Robin for today’s treatment. I felt strong and calm the entire day.

Robin Springer is a wonderful acupuncturist and really listens to you and takes time to figure out the best approach to help your body heal. She has helped me get out of pain when I badly sprained my ankle, and heal from everything from the common flu to the winter blues/energy fatigue. I also know several women who have achieve a successful pregnancy after working with her fertility treatments regularly.

They helped me treat pregnancy morning sickness, insomnia, fatigue, hip pain, constipation...and thanks in part to Blue Ova, I showed up to my induction already 3 cm dilated (I made it to 38 weeks with twins!).Im not sure what I would have done without them during my pregnancy journey and now that Im five months postpartum I miss seeing them every week.

Great cozy place, where I felt so well taken care of. I came for a short visit from Russia and was looking for a good acupuncture place. My friend recommended this one and I never regretted. The treatment I received was very professional, and I even got recommendations I didnt expect, although I though I was quite advanced in the subject. Highly recommend!

What an absolutely wonderful and supportive clinic. Highly recommend!

Robin Springer really takes her time to inquire all that makes up the individuals health and lifestyle and then provides first rate care to provide that which is preventing the natural ways of the body to express themselves. She is passionate about what she does, is well spoken and without a doubt a kind and caring healer.

I just had my first appointment and it was fantastic! The facility feels like a spa and the staff is kind, helpful and very welcoming! I would highly recommend!

Professional treatment for help with anything behalf the healing proces.5 stars out of 10 is a shy nr

She definitely put focus on the areas needed. Appreciated everything Michelle did and this path toward regeneration and healing.

I had a wonderful consultation with Stephanie! I felt seen, heard and understood. I’m looking forward getting treatment at this clinic!

Jessica is awesome! Shes patient and really tries to address all of your concerns.

Wonderful!Relaxing , restorative and I always feel much better when I leave than when I arrived!Thank you!

All the practitioners at Blue Ova health are amazing. I highly recommend!

Evelyn was great!! So sweet and thorough!

Friendly and very professional staff, cozy atmosphere. Looking forward to the next agopuncture.
