Laura The Acupuncturist

Welcome! My name is Laura. I am an acupuncturist and Chinese medicine herbalist based in Sutton Coldfield.

I am an MSc ‘Fertility Support Trained’ Acupuncturist and Herbalist with advanced expertise in reproductive health, providing compassionate, evidence-based support for complex fertility cases. I have over a decade of experience and work with people from all walks of life, particularly those with fertility issues, anxiety and hormonal imbalances. I have a BSc Honours (Acu) and an MSc (Herbs) in Tra

ditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I have undertaken advanced courses in fertility, have conducted and written a research paper specifically looking into male-factor fertility and am currently working toward an advanced diploma in fertility support. I work with couples or individuals to optimise their chances of conceiving naturally or through IVF and follow evidence-based protocols and guidance. During your comprehensive initial consultation, together we work through your diet, lifestyle and environment and I can advise if further medical testing may be required. I am a medical phlebotomist and can arrange blood work and other testing privately or suggest what may be necessary if you can access it through the NHS (although this would need to be arranged through your general practitioner). Over the years, I have worked with many couples and individuals. Natural medicine can be a slower route, but it will focus on the cause of your issues and symptoms and address them from the root. I have confidence that with patience and perseverance, we can work together to optimise your chances of achieving your goals.

Wellness Wednesday:
🌿 Let's talk about... Migraines
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine can be used to support people experiencing migraines, with treatments personalised to the individual rather than simply treating the diagnosis.
How I may support you:
✨ Frequency
✨ Severity
✨ Triggers
Everyone experiences migraines differently, so your treatment would be based on your individual symptoms, health history and goals.

Feedback Friday: Amennorrhea and Asherman's Syndrome
💛 Real words from real clients...

This client came to me following a traumatic c-section with her first pregnancy and not having her periods return after 15 months. We worked together using acupuncture and herbal medicine, with the treatment plan adapted as their symptoms changed.

Every person who walks through my clinic door has a different story, which is why I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

👅 **TONGUES OUT TUESDAY!** 👅

Ever wondered why your acupuncturist asks you to stick your tongue out? 👀

Your tongue can give us valuable information about what's happening inside your body. During a consultation, we look at things like the **colour, shape, coating, moisture, markings and overall appearance** of the tongue to help build a picture of your health from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective.

And now I want to have a little fun with it! 🌿

**Would you like your tongue to feature on Tongues Out Tuesday?**

If you're happy for me to share your tongue photo anonymously on my social media and have it assessed from a TCM perspective:

📸 Take a clear photo of your tongue, following the instructions on **page 3** of the carousel.

📧 Email it to **[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])**

I'll choose **one tongue each Tuesday** to review.

Your name will **never be shared**, but you're welcome to include any symptoms or health concerns you're experiencing. I can then compare these with what I'm seeing from a TCM tongue diagnosis.

Please only send your photo if you're happy for your tongue to be featured publicly on my social media.

Let's see what your tongue has to say! 👅🌿

*Please note: this is for educational purposes and isn't a substitute for a full individual consultation.*

So much for starting the Myth Busting Mondays series...
I appreciate I am not the most tech-savvy person alive, but when I realised I'd recorded 12 videos of Myth Busting Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine videos the WRONG WAY ROUND!!!! (So I'd recorded my heavy breathing and mentally preparing myself and stopped the recordings whilst I actually said what I should have recorded!), I definitely let my 'Stagnant Liver Qi' fly!! And completely blamed Missy for letting me use her handheld start-stop button.

Now we can finally laugh about it, I'm posting this as a little buffer while I get around to preparing myself postpartum to get camera ready again. And a special little photo of why I am taking some time before getting around to it... 💚

Q: How can I support you during my maternity leave?

A: I’m writing and scheduling this in advance, as I may have switched off my business phone for a period of time. However, I still want you to feel supported during my absence, so I’ve put a few options in place to help you feel held on your journey.

Acupuncture support:
If you’d like to continue with acupuncture, I highly recommend:
• Natalia @ Creation Acupuncture
• Angie @ Verve Acupuncture
• Louise @ Arq Acupuncture
• Nicole @ Flourish Acupuncture

In-clinic support:
My clinic will be in the safe hands of my cousin Missy @ MASG Therapy, who offers sports massage (with the option of a gentler approach if needed).

Additional therapies:
There are also several other supportive options you may wish to explore during this time:
• Fertility reflexology
• Fertility nutritionists, such as Kirsty @ Kirsty Harrison Nutrition, or Anna Estop-Hall
• Reiki – Nicky @ Celestine Rooms
• Fertility coach and miscarriage doula – Carly Garrett

Online resources:
I’ve created a resources page on my website, which includes much of the information I commonly share in clinic.

Herbal medicine:
Where possible, I will have pre-arranged your herbal prescriptions to cover part of my maternity leave. I do plan to offer online consultations slightly sooner than my return to clinic, so if you are running low on your herbs, please email:
✨ [email protected]
I will not be taking on new herbal clients during my maternity leave.

Returning to clinic:
If you would prefer to wait for my return, you are very welcome to join the waiting list via my website. I will notify you as soon as my return dates are confirmed.
I am currently expecting to take approximately 12 weeks away from clinic, although this may be adjusted depending on how things unfold.

Thank you so much for your understanding, and for your patience with any delays during this time.
Once I am rested, and baby is settled and happy staying with Daddy, I very much look forward to welcoming you back, and meeting new faces too! 💛

I worked late last Wednesday night, trying to squeeze in as many people before I finished as I could manage. I still had a full diary for the rest of that week and my final week. Well, life had its own plans… thank you to everyone I had to cancel for your understanding and for your lovely messages. We’re enjoying our newborn bubble at the moment, so I will get around to reading the messages and emails and respond over the next couple of weeks. All the best, Laura and the new one. Xx

24/07/2026

Well, I've made it to 39 weeks with working full-time in the clinic and have now decided I'd better put my feet up and practice what I preach with building my Qi and Blood in anticipation of birth and caring for a new born.

Thank you to all of my clients for your understanding of my slacking professional look during all of the heatwaves and for not laughing that my crocs have been the only shoes to fit me. I appreciate all of your visits.

I'll likely not be contactable over the next month or so, my business phone will be switched off but I may monitor emails from time to time. I'll be posting next week, a reminder of who you can visit for treatments whilst I'm away and many of you have already discussed this and given consent for me to have shared your notes with referred acupuncturists.

I love this job and very much look forward to returning in a few months to see many familiar faces and I'm sure lots of new ones.
From today, you can sign up to the waiting list on my website, www.TheAcu.co.uk to be notified a couple of weeks before I'll be returning to clinic.

Reminder of the new clinic hours when I return:
Monday 5pm - 9pm
Wednesday 5pm - 9pm
Friday 10am - 2pm
Saturday 10am - 2pm

I'm not currently giving a firm return date to clinic but it will be 12-13 weeks after the arrival. Again, thank you for the well wishes and take care of yourselves.
