Light Therapy for Reproductive Health & Fertility

Light therapy, a.k.a. PhotoBioModulation or PBM, helps improve reproductive health in many ways. It reduces inflammation, improves blood flow, promotes cellular healing and repair, and reduces oxidative stress.

Light therapy energizes and activates an important component of our cells, our mitochondria. This means the mitochondria can produce more ATP so that cells have more energy to use. This is critical for our eggs, especially. Increased ATP enhances ovarian function, improves hormone balance, and promotes the formation of new blood vessels for increased circulation. PBM improves overall reproductive health by rejuvenating on the cellular level, improving nutrient and oxygen distribution, and improving lymphatic function and detoxification. It also improves egg quality by its antioxidant effect. Improved cellular repair and cellular health means healthier eggs. It also influences cellular communication during the implantation process. PBM is especially helpful for women over 30 because cells are producing less ATP with age.

What Does PBM Treatment Look Like?

Red Light and Near-infrared light are the most studied and promising for reproductive health and fertility. The light therapy pad I have chosen is unique in that it also has blue and green light as options, which have their own effects of reducing inflammation and reducing stress and anxiety, respectively. In addition, all color combinations are available for me to customize the session to the client’s needs that day.
One of the most exciting features of this light therapy pad is the frequencies that I can activate along with the light therapy. These are based on the work of Dr. Paul Nogier. Each frequency resonates with specific parts of the body and specific layers of tissues and types of structures. For example, one of the frequencies includes the ovaries and testes and other parts of the mesoderm (middle layer). I can choose individual frequencies to run alongside the colors as well as preset combinations of frequencies based on what would benefit the client most.
For clients with plans of natural conception, research shows that 6 treatments of just under 30 minutes from the first day of your cycle up to ovulation greatly increases conception.
For clients going through IVF, this frequency is recommended before egg retrieval, after egg retrieval, and before embryo transfer.
Clients can receive these treatments as a stand alone service. For best results, receive some of your PBM treatments as an add-on to Arvigo® therapy sessions and/or vaginal steaming.

What they're Saying

I received regular massage therapy and cranial sacral work from Megan Doyle for nearly 2 years until she moved from San Diego. Megan is a gift to mothers (mothers-to-be and mothers-in-being) and was an instrumental part in my postpartum healing and support system. Her work is deeply intuitive, and during each session I felt she customized her therapy exactly to the needs of my body and nervous system, using a gentle and subtle approach to make changes in my body that resonated for days afterward. She is sorely missed here in San Diego, and I strongly recommend her services.

I saw Megan during my IVF treatments for massages. She was extremely knowledgeable about the IVF process and knew what areas to work on to help my body during this time. Feeling stressed and anxious comes with the territory going through IVF but Megan’s massages allowed me to unwind entirely while she worked. In addition, she continued to check in and offer support along my entire journey during pregnancy and postpartum! Thank you, Megan!

I saw Megan for Arvigo® Maya Abdominal Massage and yoni steams regularly for about a year before she left San Diego. Her initial intake was thorough, and the sessions always nourished my body, mind, and soul. She also sent me home with self-care recommendations and checked in periodically to see how I was responding to care. I am now 13 weeks pregnant and can’t thank her enough for helping me process the tension and fear I had been holding in my womb space before starting on my motherhood journey.

Megan is amazing! Every appointment she would check in to see how my body was doing...taking notes and keeping in mind any issues that I’ve been having. During my session she would always address where those areas were. I loved her for my prenatal massages and I continued to see her postnatally. She even came to my home to do a massage and steaming right after I had my daughter! My body and mind was in need of it! Thank you Megan! So sad that you moved! Megan will not disappoint! Your body will thank you!

Megan is a practitioner with many gifts. She encompasses more than massage, as she has trained extensively in other supportive areas. Her knowledge with herbs adds a deeper layer of healing to her treatment plans. Having received both massage and herbal consultation for yoni steam, I personally benefited greatly. My cycles became less painful and more regular as well as the back pain related to tight hips also improved. Between her Arvigo® training and her years of massage experience, you will be cared for and supported on all levels.
