Acupuncture for Fertility
Ideally it is recommended to have acupuncture treatments once/twice a week for 3 months before conception occurs (whether that is naturally or before IVF/ Embryo Transfer). This time allows for addressing the following :-
- Fertility issues
- Menstrual cycle irregularities
- Anxiety and stress
- Energy imbalances
- Sperm count or motility issues
- Ovulation issues
- Painful or heavy periods
- Miscarriage
- Hormonal imbalances – helping reduce high FSH & prolactin levels
- Implantation issues – acupuncture helps blood flow to the uterus, ovaries & pelvis area
In addition to weekly acupuncture, lifestyle, diet and work-life balance will be discussed to help you achieve the optimum well being and chance of success in conceiving.

Client Testimonials
Understanding, knowledgeable and supportive
After nearly 2 years of trying my husband and I became very despondent in our fertility journey. Still in my late 20s and my husband in his early 30s we weren't sure what to do. I booked a consultation with Emma and am so glad I did, she was understanding, knowledgeable and supportive. Since then I've been to Emma for weekly sessions of acupuncture and am now soon to be entering my third trimester! Emma's sessions have doubtlessly helped us on our pregnancy journey, whilst also making me feel calmer and less stressed. I plan to continue to see Emma even after my baby is born and can't recommend her enough! Thank you Emma.
Would Recommend!
Emma is a fantastic acupuncturist. I started going every week and a short time later I was pregnant. Emma is extremely knowledgeable on all areas of fertility and will help to put you at ease. If you are thinking about going I would 100% recommend! I will continue to go to her.
Sorted My Migraines
Been going to Emma for many years for an assortment of different things. Including migraines (because I couldn't cope with the side effects of the medication the Dr gave me) and I could not recommend her or the clinic more. I was very nervous to start with but Emma was very patient and I soon relaxed and started to enjoy the experience.
Alleviates My Pain
Emma has provided exceptional treatment and care. I have bouts of terrible shoulder & back pain & this is resolved after each treatment. Emma is very kind, caring & takes good care of you. Highly recommended!
Changed My Life
Highly recommend. Excellent support throughout. I suffered from PCOS and had tried many conventional treatments to get pregnant before trying acupuncture. I was skeptical when I started and wasn’t sure if I believed it would make any difference to me but I couldn’t have been more wrong. It changed my life completely and now have 2 healthy boys which I know would not be here if it wasn’t for the guidance and treatments Emma advised.
Consistently Great
Emma is a fantastic acupuncturist - knowledgeable, kind, meticulous. It's a great help and a pleasure to visit her.
Relaxing Treatment & Atmosphere
Felt very comfortable & settled whilst having acupuncture with Emma, it releases a lot of stress, anxiety and pain allowing relaxation.
Miscarriage Support
I was introduced to Emma in 2016, after suffering 4 miscarriages (2 consecutive) someone recommend her to me. I am the worst patient, I faint when giving blood so to say that I was nervous was an understatement, but Emma was so lovely, supportive and very patient with me. I went on to have our beautiful daughter in September 2017. A short time after our daughter we decided to try again, I had a further 2 consecutive miscarriages so got back in touch with Emma again and now as I approach the end of the first trimester I couldn't be happier. I would definitely recommend Emma to anyone who has struggled with miscarriage.
The Best Fertility Acupuncture
After multiple rounds of IVF and some resulting miscarriages, I went to Emma for weekly sessions of acupuncture. The service she provided was personally adapted to my needs and she offered a reassuring support system through some difficult times. Importantly, her treatment was also manageable with my restricted budget. I felt that I could trust her when I was feeling very vulnerable and her treatment gave me confidence and also helped me to relax. When I eventually had a successful pregnancy I continued my sessions with Emma and she even came to visit me once I'd had my baby! She is highly recommended!
