For people who are planning to start trying and want to optimise their health and fertility before they do. 

Turns out the scouts have always known what they're talking about. We prepare for exams, interviews, weddings — even holidays. But we rarely prepare for conception, despite the fact that eggs and sperm each take approximately three months to mature. 

The preconception pathway is for people who want to give themselves the best possible start — whether that's a first pregnancy, a subsequent one, or simply wanting a healthy, well-supported conception.

We work on overall health, hormonal balance, cycle regulation and any underlying issues worth addressing before trying. Most preconception clients work with me for three months, though some come for a shorter period of focused support.

For people who have been trying for a while, have had some investigations, and feel like they still don’t have the full picture

In my experience, "unexplained infertility" usually means the right tests haven't been done yet - or haven't been done correctly. This pathway is for people who have been trying without success, those who have experienced recurrent miscarriages, and those with complex conditions such as endometriosis or PCOS/PMOS who feel like they've been given a diagnosis without much of a plan.

As well as acupuncture treatment, this pathway involves a detailed review of your test results and history, help understanding what the results actually mean, guidance on what further investigations might be worth pursuing, and support in advocating for yourself within the medical system. You shouldn't have to navigate this alone and you shouldn't have to accept "unexplained" as a final answer.

Timeframe varies depending on individual circumstances. Most clients in this pathway work with me for a minimum of three months.

Unexplained infertility | IVF and IUI support | Recurrent miscarriage | PCOS/PMOS | Endometriosis | Cycle irregularities | Poor ovarian reserve | Male factor fertility

For people preparing for or currently going through an IVF or IUI cycle

Acupuncture alongside IVF is one of the most researched areas of fertility acupuncture. This pathway is structured around your cycle dates and treatment windows rather than a fixed number of sessions - timing matters here and we work around your clinic's protocol rather than against it.

Support includes preparation in the weeks before your cycle begins, treatment during stimulation, and acupuncture around the time of transfer. I work alongside your clinic and I'll always be clear about what the evidence does and doesn't support.
