Baby Leon, one week old and mum Irena
Acupuncture can bring comfort, reassurance and help in trying for a baby.
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. I have been on a three and a half years long fertility journey myself. It’s been challenging to say the least, but it also was a successful one. I had a perfectly healthy pregnancy, delivered healthy baby boy and I enjoy every day of being a mum.
This means I have the experience, skills and know-how of fertility from acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, plus a deep, personal understanding of the journey itself.
Alongside running my acupuncture practise, I write a blog How to Boost Fertility. It is dedicated specifically to natural fertility. If you are looking for reliable information on how natural fertility works, regulate your cycle and balance hormones, dive into my articles and online courses. I have an entire section dedicated to fertility recipes which will help you get your head around strengthening your hormones by eating with your cycle. I have also created three comprehensive consultation packages for those who need help and reassurance on their way.

What to expect from Fertility Acupuncture?
Chinese medicine takes a whole-person-whole-lifestyle approach to help you, we will take a close look at your menstrual cycle and reproductive history. To make the most of it, come prepared with notes about your last two or three cycles and your concerns, if you have any. We want to look at the cycle length and detailed description of menstruation. This will help me to rule out potential red flags and suggest what kind of investigations you might want to consider. We will also look closely at your diet, exercise and whole way of life to get the fullest possible picture of your health. Once I have all these details, I make a diagnosis according to the principles of Chinese medicine and then set up a tailored treatment plan for you. This plan will feature acupuncture, lifestyle advice, and dietary advice. After your first consultation and treatment, we will discuss the best next steps you and your partner can take to optimise your natural fertility. If it sounds overwhelming, please relax. I will hold your hand through the entire process.
My promise
One size does not fit all. The great strength of Chinese medicine is that it’s all about the individual in every sense. Each woman and couple is different and will require different help. I become a mother at so called geriatric age, so I am not afraid to work with you no matter where you are on your journey.
You can expect highly bespoke, completely tailored advice, treatment and support every step of the way, and I very much look forward to supporting you on your journey.
Please get in touch for a non-obligatory 15 minutes consultation to discuss how Acupuncture can help you.
