Have been diagnosed with auto-immune disorders such as thyroiditis or Hashimoto’s disease.Results have come back abnormal on a sperm analysis or DNA fragmentation test for you or your partner.

“My husband and I had been trying to conceive for over two years, and sadly had a miscarriage. I decided to look into acupuncture and came across Deborah. From the first call I had with her, she was incredibly helpful. At that stage I hadn’t committed to attending any acupuncture sessions but she was very willing to give me as much advice as possible around supplements and my lifestyle. After hearing how helpful and knowledgeable she was, I decided to take up a course of weekly acupuncture.
Deborah really knows what she’s doing. Each week she asked me questions around how I was and where I was in my cycle. She also provided further lifestyle/supplement advice and emotional support along the journey.
Going to Deborah was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. After only a couple of months of treatment with her, I fell pregnant and I’m now 13.5 weeks, with everything going well. I can’t thank her enough for everything!”

What are the benefits of undertaking a course of regular fertility acupuncture sessions?
Undertaking a regular course of fertility acupuncture can bring a wide range of benefits to support your reproductive health. Everyone is unique, and treatment programmes are always tailored to your individual needs — after all, “we treat the patient, not the condition.”
Some of the benefits you may experience include:
Regulating the menstrual cycle
Supporting hormonal balance
Improving blood flow to the reproductive organs
Reducing stress and anxiety
Better digestion, metabolism and blood sugar balance
Helps boost sperm quality
Improving sleep quality
Enhancing overall wellbeing
How can acupuncture support your IVF?
Increased blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, supporting implantation and ovarian function
Progesterone support – helping maintain hormone levels after egg retrieval and embryo transfer
Embryo transfer Day – Studies show acupuncture before and after transfer can positively impact IVF outcomes.
Improved regulation of hormones involved in follicle development and ovulation
Enhanced response to ovarian stimulation during IVF treatment
Reduced uterine contractions at the time of embryo transfer, supporting implantation
Fluid retention & bloating – alleviating discomfort commonly experienced during stimulation and after transfer
Helps to regulate cortisol which can impact fertility
Support for better egg quality and endometrial lining development
After each session, it’s common to feel relaxed, calm, and more balanced. Over time, many clients also notice better energy levels, an improved mood, and a stronger sense of resilience while navigating their fertility journey.
Research shows that egg and sperm development takes place over a period of around 100 days. It is recommended commencing fertility acupuncture treatment at least 3-4 months* ahead of any natural conception or IVF treatment to achieve the best results. Depending upon where you are in your journey, I offer individual appointments and fertility packages for those needing longer support.
*Complex cases may require a longer treatment programme
“I started seeing Deborah after experiencing an early miscarriage, and later she supported me through the heartbreaking loss of my baby at 19 weeks due to PPROM. Throughout everything, Deborah has been such an incredible source of support, not only as a very talented fertility acupuncturist but also as a genuinely warm, compassionate and understanding person.
From my very first appointment, I felt heard, cared for and truly listened to. Her treatments are alway professional and seamless and her expert knowledge and calm, reassuring manner gave me so much comfort and hope both for my fertility journey and for feeling more balance.
Deborah is encouraging, patient and kind, and she has and amazing ability to blend clinical expertise with deep empathy. I’m so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone navigating fertility, pregnancy or loss.
