Why work with me
Truly Holistic Approach
I have a deep understanding of the many factors that influence health and wellbeing. I look at the whole person, helping you explore and address what may be affecting your balance and vitality.
100% Personalised Plan
We are all unique, and so are the patterns behind our symptoms. Whether you are coming for acupuncture or Chinese Medicine nutrition, I will develop a plan tailored to your individual needs, combining careful guidance and practical strategies to support your wellbeing.
End-to-End Support
From the first consultation through ongoing treatments, I take care of every stage of your health journey. I provide hands-on treatment and support, suggests lifestyle tweaks to accelerate progress, and help you understand which Western medical examinations or tests could be useful too.
Fertility
Acupuncture, nutrition plans, and consultations.
I have a particular focus on working with people trying to conceive naturally. I work with women, men and couples, and I love seeing my patients become parents. Fertility is complex. It has many layers, and that's a good thing, for there are equally many things anyone can do to improve it.
Conceive with Confidence
ONLINE COURSE
Conceive with Confidence is designed for couples ready to start or grow their family. This course builds a clear understanding of fertility, from reproductive health and hormones to cycle awareness. You’ll learn to spot red flags, optimise lifestyle choices, and follow a practical, supportive plan to approach conception with clarity, teamwork, and confidence.
Demystifying Fertility Nutrition
Do you feel bombarded with advice on what foods support hormonal balance and improve fertility ?
Well, you probably are.
Is nutrition fundamental to our optimal health and most useful in balancing hormones improving fertility? Yes, it is! And yes, there is science to it, but, same as the superfoods concept was blown out of all proportion, so is the overwhelming amount of often contradictory advice on female nutrition.
Having been through the journey myself, I totally understand that is gets too much and I am determined to deliver a helpful antidote.
What you’ll find in my recipes section:
-
Recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, each aligned with a specific part of the menstrual cycle. Why? Because eating with your cycle is the way to be savvy and support your body to produce the right hormones at the right time. Nutrition is the tool to make a real difference
-
Recipes designed to feed two people, so you can share with your partner or have leftovers for the next day.
-
Pragmatic meals: quick and easy, slow-cooker friendly, freezer-friendly, portable for lunches, and versatile dinners that can be transformed into breakfast or lunch.
Before I became a mother, an acupuncturist or even a TCM nutritionist, I was a passionate foodie who started cooking with my grandma from a very young age. Cooking is what I do best, and looking at all the research on fertility nutrition and filtering it through a Chinese Medicine eye is easy for me. Feel free to make a good use of it !

Articles on Natural Fertility
I write articles dedicated to women’s health and I want to tell you a bit about my angle so you can decide if they’re for you before diving in.
I write about how women’s health works, from balancing hormones, through understanding fertility in order to improve it, all the way to a holistic approach to menopause. There is very little education around women’s health and natural fertility. Most women do not know how to improve hormonal imbalance without the contraceptive pill and most people start trying for a baby without really understanding it. That one sex education class as a teenager we all had is definitely not enough, and anatomy and physiology books are rarely tempting reads. I want to close that gap because the better your understanding of how your body, the better your chances of improving it and enjoying a happier life.
My focus is on everything you can do naturally. — and there is a lot! I write about :
-
Natural ways to regulate your menstrual cycle — yes, it’s possible
-
Mindset strategies to support the process of trying to conceive — from someone who has been there
-
Lifestyle factors that are often overlooked but can be transformative for fertility
My audience is often fed up with being presented with the synthetic hormones as an answer, which will only mask the issues, not solve them. Women in the age group 35+ are constantly bombarded with messages about declining fertility. And yes, it’s a fact — but obsessing over eggs you no longer have doesn’t help.
Happy reading!
