I have considerable experience in working with people trying to conceive, whether naturally or through assisted conception (e.g. IVF).  Five Element Acupuncture focuses on tailoring the treatment to the individuals to create a state of balance and harmony in the body.  The goal is always to create the best conditions and environment for conception - and a happy, healthy pregnancy.    

Appropriate for both male and female fertility issues, I work with issues such as polycystic ovaries, endometriosis and other issues with menstruation, to improving sperm quality and overall health and lifestyle advice.   

With an in-depth understanding of assisted fertility protocols, I offer a non-judgemental, sympathetic and practical resource to my clients.  Please note: research suggests that commencing acupuncture treatment at least three months ahead of any IVF treatment offers the the best results. 

I work with a network of specialist practitioners in other disciplines and offers referrals and advice as appropriate.   

One of my areas of special interest is working with women trying to conceive after the loss of a pregnancy or child, as well as those who have experienced recurrent miscarriages.
