This video gives a good low down on how acupuncture works, and some more information here.  When you come for a consultation I will explain more about how I work and give you a clear treatment plan for your acupuncture treatment.

The first visit is a 90-minute consultation where I take a detailed account of your previous health and fertility history. Following our session, I compile a personalised report for you, which includes diet and lifestyle advice and recommended tests or investigations. We will book in your first acupuncture treatment.

Yes. Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings see here for times and locations.

I offer a FREE 15-minute initial chat (pre-booking only) to discuss your concerns. Please book your initial chat in advance.

Yes, I am happy to help but often have a waiting list. I know it can be disappointing if you are late in realising the benefits of acupuncture for IVF and I do my best to make space for you as soon as possible. Acupuncture can’t make a difference to egg or sperm quality when you are just about to have IVF treatment. IVF is a medicalised process that dominates over Chinese Medicines holistic nature, but acupuncture works in the background to help with gentle blood flow, strengthening your energy and calming the mind. I’ll be there holding your hand through the ups and downs ahead.

Yes. I need the full 90mins to focus 1:1, so partners will need to book a separate consultation. I also have advanced knowledge of male health and fertility. If you have known male factor issues, then I can help you and also signpost or refer you to trusted urologists or andrologists.

I usually recommend weekly treatment for at least 3 menstrual cycles for natural fertility. Some pregnancies happen sooner, some take longer. Sometimes we uncover issues through testing that you need continuity of support through.

If starting IVF, it may be approximately 6 optimally timed treatments. if your treatment is successful I recommend early pregnancy support for the first trimester. If your treatment does not succeed, I can support you in next steps and preparation to try again or try naturally, depending on your diagnosis.

Yes. I may use any of these methods depending on your diagnosis. I will always discuss this with you first.
