Dr. Yvette Dellanini Ward brings together more than 35 years of study and experience in holistic health and mind-body medicine, and over 26 years of clinical specialization in fertility and reproductive care.

Her foundational education includes a B.A. in Psychology with emphasis of Holistic Health, graduate training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine (DTCM). She is a California Licensed Acupuncturist and Primary Healthcare Provider, Nationally certified through NCCAOM, a Fellow of the Integrative Reproductive Medicine (FABORM), a member of the ASRM Mental Health Professional Group (MHPG). She is also the founder of the award-winning Sage Wellness Center, The Joy of Life University, and creator of “The Joy of IVF” Patient Support Platform.

After more than two decades of caring for fertility and IVF patients, Yvette has recognized a critical gap in the fertility journey: patients can receive exceptional care in reproductive medicine – yet still feeling uncertain about how to support themselves physically and emotionally throughout the process. Years of listening to patients, studying the research, witnessing their struggles and successes, and understanding what truly helps has inspired her to bring this knowledge together into comprehensive, practical education that supporting the whole person—not simply the IVF procedure.

Today, Dr. Yvette is deeply committed to helping change the standard of supportive IVF care. Through The Joy of Life University patient support platform, she transforms decades of clinical expertise, specialized education, research, and personal experience into practical, evidence-informed resources integrating Eastern and Western medicine, nutrition, lifestyle, Mindset, stress support, movement, and meditation. Her mission is to empower patients and healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to create a more informed, prepared, supported, and compassionate IVF experience.
