Women’s Health Acupuncture Clinic focussing on Fertility, IVF support, pregnancy and menopause

Most women experience some degree of PMS and the mood changes that can come with that aren’t fun for us or anyone in our path.

Acupuncture helps alleviate pms by balancing estrogen & progesterone & boosting endorphins to improve mood.

If you want to get your PMS under control and not feel like a yo-yo through the second half of your cycle, give acupuncture a go.
Generally the best time for a treatment is 1 week before your period.

“There’s no medal for giving birth drug-free.”

People often say this to women who want an unmedicated birth and it implies they are doing it to prove something or to place themselves on some sort of pedestal.

But the truth is, most women attempting a drug free birth have simply spent time learning about birth physiology — how hormones like oxytocin and endorphins support labour, help the body cope with pain, and help birth progress naturally.

Research shows that epidurals can change labour dynamics. They’re associated with a longer second stage of labour and higher rates of instrumental birth (forceps or vacuum), which occurs about twice as often with epidurals compared to births without them.

That doesn’t make epidurals “bad.”
They can be an incredibly helpful tool — especially when labour becomes long, exhausting, or medically complicated. Labour is intense, and no one deserves judgement for choosing pain relief, but please don’t assume someone that is attempting to do it without it, is because she’s looking for some sort of praise.

And honestly?
Anyone who grows and births a human — however it happens — deserves a bloody medal. 🥇

FSH stands for Follicle Stimulating Hormone.
It’s a hormone made by the brain that signals your ovaries to mature and release eggs.

When your ovaries have plenty of eggs and are responding well, FSH levels stay relatively low because only a small signal is needed.

As egg supply decreases, the ovaries become less responsive. The brain then produces higher levels of FSH to try to stimulate the ovaries more strongly.

FSH is best tested on day 3 of your period.

So what about Estrogen?
Estrogen is NOT a great indicator of perimenopause because it becomes highly unpredictable and fluctuates dramatically during this time - estrogen is often actually higher during perimenopause, not lower.

Are we going through menopause earlier than our mothers did or do we just talk more openly now?

The jury is still out on this and more research is needed but the good thing is we are more aware as a society and we do have options (Besides HRT!)

When perimenopause starts it can be difficult to understand what’s going on as some of the symptoms can seem really random.

Aside from the famous hot flushes, irregular periods and mood changes - perimenopause can bring a whole range of odd symptoms including but not limited to:
Heavy or light bleeding
Brain fog
Feeling light headed
New or worsening anxiety
Feeling not yourself
Sensitive
Prickly, itchy skin
Insomnia/waking at night
Joint pain
Frozen shoulder
Dry va**na and skin
Tinnitus
New allergies
Nose bleeds & bleeding gums
+ more!

If you think you may be experiencing perimenopause please get in touch - There are blood tests we can run to determine if you are perimenopausal and then we would use a combination of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture to reduce the severity of your symptoms.

Menopause is actually one of my most favourite things to treat because we typically see very quick results.

I’m treating a lot of women for labour preparation at the moment which I just LOVE. However most don’t know about the benefits of acupuncture postpartum - so here’s a list of reasons why you would have acupuncture in the 4th trimester:

🍼Blood loss from birth recovery
🍼C section scar softening & healing
🍼Milk supply issues & mastitis
🍼Prolapse
🍼Post partum depression
🍼Afterpains
🍼Night sweats
🍼Aches & pains from carrying your new baby

You’re welcome to bring your baby to your session & we will work around you & your baby. (I’ve had many a new mums on the table with needles in and baby on the b**b.)

If you’ve got something going on in your pregnancy or post partum and your not sure of where to turn, please reach out and I’ll let you know if I can help 💜

It’s been a while and there are quite a few of you new to my page so thought I’d re-introduce myself. ☺️

I’m Sara.
Once upon a time I worked miserably in recruitment and found it completely soul sucking.

I’d grown up with natural medicine, so when I finally enrolled in a Bachelor of Traditional Chinese Medicine I truly felt I was home 💜

I’m an Acupuncturist AND a Chinese Herbalist.
I’m extremely passionate (almost over the top) about Women’s Health & those that come to me would agree 😜

I fell in love with treating Women’s Health when I was still at uni; I treated a woman who had PCOS who hadn’t had a period in 12 months, after one session she got a period - I was hooked. ☺️

Secretly, I hate needles - When I first learnt to needle I had to sit down while doing it 😅 (don’t worry this was many, many moons ago.)

My biggest pet peeves are vegetable oils and ticks.
My biggest loves are my 2 children and gluten.

For the future I hope to live my winters as European summers and Chinese medicine to be added to Medicare 💜 (Gotta dream big ☺️)

When women first come to me for acupuncture during pregnancy they usually come for one of two things:

1. Morning sickness or 2. Labour Preparation

However when I first treat a pregnant woman, I am thinking well beyond her birth, I am looking for clues and signs of imbalances and what impact they may have on:

🤰🏼The rest of her pregnancy
🤰🏼 Her babies position in the womb
🤰🏼 The birth
🤰🏼 Her babies growth & health
🤰🏼 The postpartum period
🤰🏼 Her milk supply
🤰🏼 Her long term health

Let me give you an example: iron deficiency (which we view as blood deficiency in Chinese Medicine) in pregnancy increases your risk of severe post-partum haemorrhage, postnatal depression & low milk supply.

Through acupuncture & chinese herbs we can help to balance the body and avoid deficiencies, improving the overall pregnancy and post-partum outcomes. 👩🏼‍🍼

🩸 Blood tests for Fertility 🩸
One of the first things I’ll have new fertility clients do is get a bunch of bloods done to assess what her hormones are doing as well as look for nutritional deficiencies.
If a client comes with blood work they’ve already obtained from their GP, 9 times out of 10 the woman has no idea which part of her cycle she had the blood work done in, and if we work it out - it’s generally at the wrong time, which make the blood work pointless.

Here’s why:
🩸 Progesterone is primarily made after a follicle releases an egg (ovulation), so testing progesterone before you’ve ovulated will give you a reading of almost 0.

🩸 Similarly, FSH is most productive in the first half of the cycle, it stimulates the ovaries to grow eggs. We want to know how little or hard FSH is working to ovulate - again pretty pointless after ovulation!

Please note, there are many other things we look at for fertility including thyroid function, insulin, testosterone, vitamin D however this very basic hormone profile and the timing of it is crucial. ✌️
