Welcome. Whether you're just embarking on your fertility journey and are filled with hope, uncertainty, and many questions. Or, you've been on this journey for a while and are filled with grief, jealousy, or numbness; I've got your back. I'm here to support you with expert acupuncture care, with recommendations and guidance, with compassion, and by providing a calm safe space to feel nourished in.

​

Comprehensive Fertility Consultation

​

Your initial consultation is a 60-minute session where we delve into your overall health, medical history, reproductive background, menstrual cycle, and emotional well-being. This thorough approach allows me to understand your individual circumstances deeply and help to really understand 'you'. Settle in with a cup of tea somewhere private and comfy for this chat. 

​

​

Personalised Fertility Detective Report

​

I'll review your tests and investigations to identify any gaps or areas that may need further exploration, which will enable you to feel empowered in choosing what to do next or which professionals to contact. I'll make health and lifestyle recommendations and discuss male factor diagnostics if you're TTC with a male partner.

 

This is a big project for me which I am proud to give to every fertility client; I want to give you all the information you need to improve your chances of success. You will find this a valuable resource as I will act as a  bridge between basic GP knowledge and top fertility consultant care. 

​

Covered in the Fertility Detective Report;

​

Recommended assessments of your uterus and ovaries

Review of your blood tests and missing important blood tests

Vaginal and seminal microbiome testing options

Review of semen analysis and advanced male diagnostics

Further testing options to explore if advised​

Cervical mucous, temperature charting and fertile window

Lifestyle and your wellness

Tailored Acupuncture Treatments

​

Acupuncture treatments are customised based on your specific health profile and where you are in your menstrual cycle. Ideally, treatments are initially scheduled weekly over three-months. However, we can adjust the frequency to fit your schedule and needs; talk to me about it.

​

Each session includes a check-in to discuss any changes or developments, followed by a relaxing acupuncture treatment designed to support your fertility and overall well-being.

​

If you've not had traditional acupuncture before, I really hope you'll love it. Most of my clients report feeling balanced, relaxed, resilient and calm after a treatment. I hope you will look forward to your treatments in my calm, warm treatment room. 

 

Acupuncture is gentle, and I will adapt my technique according to how you experience it. As I am also a massage therapist, I often incorporate neck and shoulder massage into your treatments.  I will also recommend adding abdominal massage occasionally where appropriate. 

​​

​

Support During Pregnancy

​

Once you conceive, continued acupuncture can continue to support you. I recommend regular sessions through the first trimester and then monthly treatments as your pregnancy progresses, providing ongoing care and support. I recommend you visit weekly during your last month for lovely birth preparation treatments.

​

​

IVF​

​

Before you embark on IVF I would prefer that you have done the ground work with me, I see IVF as a later stage resort.

​

However, if you're about to step into IVF without any prep work time, if I have the space I will fit you in! Acupuncture is great alongside IVF.  Get in touch and we'll discuss options.

​

Fertility For Men

​

Absolutely, fertility acupuncture is great for men. If you have a known issue contributing to fertility challenges, acupuncture is a sensible holistic adjunct. 

​

In addition, the stress, worry and overwhelm which most men feel when they are going through a tough fertility journey with their partner can be too much to bear alone- acupuncture will help you to feel better. 

​

If you're on a fertility journey with a partner, it is a good idea for you both to come for treatment.

 

Get in touch and we can discuss which consultation option to go for, as I usually recommend the complex health option consultation as opposed to the fertility consultation for people assigned male at birth. 

​​

​

Inclusive and Welcoming Environment

​

My clinic is a safe and inclusive space for all individuals, including women, men, non-binary, LGBTQ+ people. Fertility acupuncture is not just for straight cisgender women. 

 

Everyone's journey is unique, and I am committed to providing compassionate care tailored to your personal experience.

​

If you feel anxious about acupuncture, please know you're not alone. Many of my patients arrive feeling unsure - especially at first, and I always take the time to talk things through, explain what to expect, and go at a pace that feels right for you.

 

My treatments are gentle, calm, and designed to help you feel safe and at ease, and I'm always keen to hear about any triggers you have, 'no-go' body areas for you, or ways in which I can help you feel more calm in your treatments; our brains and bodies all work in very different ways. It's my job to support you just the way you are.
