Assisted Reproduction, IVF & ICSI

​

We regularly treat women going through IVF. Acupuncture can be used in preparation for IVF and during IVF treatment. Acupuncture during IVF and on the day of embryo transfer may help relax you during a very stressful time.

 

There has been some fantastically positive clinical trials run in relation to using acupuncture with IVF! We will help come up with a plan to support you through your treatment that suits you.

Acupuncture During Pregnancy

 

Once pregnant, women often continue coming for treatment, especially if they have had a long journey trying to conceive or have a history of miscarriage. Acupuncture during pregnancy helps support the mothers body to function optimally. Women love this support during this fragile first trimester. 

​

Further along, pregnancy acupuncture can help relieve aches and pains that the mother may be developing as her body changes and the baby grows. Acupuncture is also often recommended by midwives to help prepare for labour and birth. 

 

​

Preparing for Labour & Birth

 

We offer labour preparation acupuncture from 36 weeks. Women can start to prepare physically and emotionally with weekly sessions and support from a professional health practitioner. 

 

What if you are full term and baby hasn't come? Well we can show you acupressure techniques and help keep you calm while waiting for labour to begin. Women really enjoy these sessions!
