RUHE Fertility + Prenatal Acupuncture, founded by Ivelisse DeJongh, AP, FABORM, offers integrative fertility and prenatal care in Trumbull, Connecticut. Ivelisse is a licensed and board-certified Acupuncture Physician in both Florida and Connecticut with more than 17 years of experience. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science and Psychology, a Master’s in Oriental Medicine, and is a Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM).

Her journey began in Miami in 2009, where she opened her first practice treating general wellness, pain management, weight loss, cosmetic acupuncture, and men’s and women’s health. Over time, her passion for fertility medicine grew, and her clinic evolved into RUHE Fertility + Prenatal, a dedicated space for women and couples seeking support on their path to conception, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery. After more than a decade in Miami, Ivelisse relocated with her family to Trumbull, CT, bringing her expertise and compassionate approach to the local community.
