Fertility & Women’s Health
Whether you're just starting to think about having a baby, have been trying to conceive for a while, or are going through fertility treatment, acupuncture can be part of a wider approach to supporting your wellbeing.
I can support you with:
Preparing for conception
Cycle and menstrual health
Supporting natural fertility
Acupuncture alongside IVF and assisted fertility treatment
Supporting you before and after embryo transfer
Stress, sleep and emotional wellbeing during your fertility journey
In Chinese medicine, the menstrual cycle gives us valuable information about what is happening in the body. Your cycle, digestion, energy, sleep and emotional wellbeing can all form part of your treatment picture.
Your treatment is always personalised to you and your individual circumstances.
Women's Health
Women's health isn't just about fertility.
I work with women experiencing a range of concerns, including:
PMS and painful or irregular periods
Endometriosis
PCOS
Perimenopause and menopause
Stress and feeling overwhelmed
Sleep and low energy
Headaches and tension
Digestive concerns
Feeling disconnected from your body or simply not quite yourself
Sometimes there isn't one obvious thing that needs fixing. It can be about understanding the bigger picture and supporting your body through a period of change.
What happens during your treatment?
Your first appointment includes a detailed consultation, giving us time to talk about your health, your main concerns and what you would like support with.
I'll then create a treatment specifically for you. This may include acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, moxa, cupping or gua sha, depending on what is appropriate for you.
As we continue working together, your treatment can change and evolve with you.
A whole-body approach
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we don't look at symptoms in isolation.
We consider the relationship between different aspects of your health — including your menstrual cycle, digestion, sleep, stress, energy and emotional wellbeing.
My approach is about creating space to understand the bigger picture, listen to your body and support you through change.
