It’s a bizarre truth that western medicine often doesn’t provide you with a diagnosis when it comes to fertility. If you have a condition such as PMOS (PCOS) or endometriosis then you’ll be given that diagnosis but if, after some fairly basic and limited testing, they haven’t found an obvious issue, you’ll be told it’s undiagnosed and referred for IVF.

Don’t get me wrong, IVF is wonderful and can work well for some people, but without understanding what’s happening in your body and what may be holding you back, it may not be the silver bullet it’s made out to be.

So often with fertility, the answers lie in the grey areas and the subtleties that are frequently missed or not investigated fully in a system that is so heavily reliant on IVF as a solution.

If you’ve been TTC for a while and are looking for some support with natural conception or preparing you for IVF, please get in touch. It’s my passion to support women and couples with their fertility and I’m here to guide you through the grey and towards some clarity and understanding so you can be in the best possible position to conceive.

There are some things we hate to hear as acupuncturists, and one of them is when people decide acupuncture doesn’t work after only one or two treatments.

Whilst people often feel a difference or notice some benefit very quickly, a course of treatment is always best for lasting results.

What things have you given up on too quickly? For me, it’s the gym, if I’ve been once and I’m not an elite athlete, I’m bored 😆

From global banking to acupuncture clinic, not the career pivot anyone saw coming (including me) 😆

A lot of my clients are surprised when they find out where I started. But honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing!

I loved my previous career and had the most amazing experiences and met some wonderful people who are still close friends today, but becoming a mum changed me and it wasn’t the right fit for me anymore.

Discovering acupuncture was such an eye opener, I never expected it to bring so many benefits, physically and emotionally and I’m passionate about using this wonderful medicine to support other women in realising their dreams of becoming parents or growing their families; in navigating menopause; helping establish pain free and healthy menstrual cycles or supporting them with stress, anxiety and overwhelm.

Swipe through for the full story and if it resonates, follow along. I share honest, practical content about fertility, women’s health and what acupuncture can actually do for you.

No fluff, just traditional Chinese medicine blended with modern scientific understanding and all delivered by a down to earth Yorkshire lass!

I love being an acupuncturist and this is why! 🧡

Supporting women and girls with issues like period pain is such a joy. Women’s health issues can so often be dismissed or minimised by conventional medicine. Even when a doctor is taking it seriously, there’s often not much that can be done for painful periods without using hormonal birth control, which can have side effects and impact future menstrual health and fertility (particularly if started in the teenage years).

Choosing an acupuncturist is a serious business! You need to find someone who’s the right fit for you.

If you choose to work with me, you’ll get much more than an acupuncturist! I’m a health detective, problem solver, listening ear, supportive cheerleader and I’ll also help you cut through the noise to give you clear, judgement free advice so you get the most out of your treatment.

I’m passionate about supporting all my patients and I’m committed to helping you achieve your goals from your first appointment.

If you’d like to find out more about working with me, please drop me a message or use the link in the bio to book a discovery call 📞

How does acupuncture actually work?

Acupuncture works in a number of ways:
⭐It stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system which allows the body to shift out of “fight or flight” and into the calmer "rest and digest" state. This is when your body and mind can actually begin to heal.
⭐It activates receptors in the brain and within the cells of the body which means it's able to influence hormones and hormonal responses. This means hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone, but also cortisol, insulin, adrenalin, histamine, etc.
⭐It reduces inflammation in the body which can help alleviate painful conditions as well as supporting the body with many chronic health conditions where inflammation can exacerbate conditions or be a pre-cursor
⭐It stimulates your body's natural healing response - your body is an amazing thing, it just sometimes needs to be pointed in the right direction!

Many people notice they feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected to their body after treatment.

Acupuncture for children & teens (ages 11+)

I offer gentle, child-led treatments for children and teenagers, with specialist training in paediatric acupuncture and registration with HOPA (Hub of Paediatric Acupuncture), you can be assured you're in good hands!

Sessions are always guided by your child — nothing is ever forced.
I use a range of gentle techniques, many of which don’t involve needles at all, such as acupressure, ear seeds and magnet therapy.

Paediatric acupuncture can help support with:
✨ anxiety and emotional wellbeing
✨ sleep
✨ headaches
✨ digestion
✨ hormonal changes during puberty
✨ nervous system regulation

My aim is to create a calm, safe space where young people feel heard, supported and in control.

If you’d like to know whether this could be right for your child, feel free to get in touch and I'd be delighted to answer any questions you may have.

💫 Introducing Red Light Therapy for Fertility!

I’m so excited to now be able to offer red light therapy at the clinic as an adjunct support for your fertility care.

This non-invasive light therapy uses specific red and near-infrared wavelengths to help support cellular function, blood flow and reduce inflammation - all factors that are linked to reproductive health.

🧐 Clinical studies suggest that red and NIR light can improve fertility outcomes and reproductive health, particularly for those with unexplained fertility challenges. Improvements have been observed in egg quality, s***m mobility and endometrial thickness!

Red light therapy isn’t a standalone cure - but the most recent research shows it can be a supportive addition to your fertility toolkit, alongside acupuncture, the right supplements and lifestyle support.

If you’d like to find out more about how acupuncture and red light therapy could transform your fertility journey, DM me or visit the link in my bio to book a consultation.

If you’ve got any questions or would like links to the research, please comment 👇🏼
