Claire is highly experienced 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, Claire can offer advice on dealing 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, Claire offers a sympathetic and practical resource to her clients.  Please note: research suggests that commencing acupuncture treatment at least three months ahead of any IVF treatment offers the the best results. 

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