Working with me

Fertility and Women's Health

Trying to conceive without answers can feel incredibly frustrating — especially when you're told everything is "normal". My job is to look deeper, investigate properly and support your body so you have the best possible chance of conceiving. I generally work with women and couples who want to take a thoughtful, investigative approach to fertility — combining acupuncture, testing and personalised treatment plans. If you work with me there will be no false promises, no sugar-coating, just honest, evidence-based guidance.

If you've been told your fertility issues are "unexplained", it often just means no one has looked closely enough yet. We look at hormone health, cycle patterns, egg and sperm quality, inflammation, nutrition, stress and overall health to build a clearer picture of what your body needs.

Eggs and sperm take around three months to develop, which is why quick fixes rarely work and I usually work with fertility clients for a minimum of three months.

Fertility journeys can be emotional and vulnerable. The last thing anyone needs is unrealistic promises. I'll always be honest about what I think will help, what might not, and when something needs further medical investigation. Your fertility doesn't exist in isolation from the rest of your health — and that's why we look at everything, from sleep and stress to digestion, hormones and past medical history, because small details can be important and there really is no such thing as TMI.

Situations I support

Many of the people I work with come to me after months or years of trying to conceive, feeling like they still don't have clear answers. Some of the most common situations I support include:

• "Unexplained infertility"
• Preparing your body before trying to conceive or before starting IVF or IUI
• Supporting fertility alongside IVF treatment
• Irregular or absent cycles
• PCOS
• Recurrent miscarriage
• Optimising egg or sperm quality
• Endometriosis
• Reproductive immunology

If you work with me, it's very likely that I will recommend additional testing. Sometimes people arrive having already done extensive investigations. More often, they've been told they've "had all the tests" when in reality they've only had the basics. If further testing would be helpful, I'll always explain what I recommend and why.

Who I work best with

My approach tends to work best for people who are:

• Trying to conceive and want to understand what's really going on
• Open to a holistic or complementary approach alongside conventional medicine
• Willing to do further testing if recommended
• Prepared to make changes where they'll genuinely help
• Ready to commit to a few months of treatment
• Open to sharing everything — I ask about everything from childhood illnesses to digestion, and nothing is off the table
