A Holistic Approach to Fertility

Couples who have been trying to conceive for a while often feel disheartened because parts of their reproductive or general health have been overlooked. This is where I step in. My work involves collaborating with experts in various fields to provide a thorough and well-rounded approach to fertility.

For instance, I work with specialist sonographers who are experts in advanced imaging techniques like Colour Doppler imaging. This method reveals detailed blood flow through organ tissues, providing insights that typical fertility clinics might miss. It can identify conditions like adenomyosis (endometriosis within the uterine muscle wall) or track hormonal changes in the ovaries such as estrogen dominence often seen accompanied with fibroids, endometriosis and other estrogen driven conditions. These insights are invaluable for understanding the root causes of fertility issues and improving the chances of conception.

Supporting the Reproductive Microbiome

The vaginal, uterine, and semen microbiomes play crucial roles in fertility. Imbalances in these complex microbiomes can lead to bacterial infections, often without noticeable symptoms, which can affect sperm health and can hinder conception and implantation. Through targeted testing, I work to improve sperm health and uterine receptivity by:

• Identifying and treating infections when necessary (sometimes with antibiotics).

• Rebuilding protective bacterial strains, like Lactobacillus, which are essential for implantation and sustaining pregnancy.

This proactive approach helps create an environment where conception and ongoing pregnancy are more likely to thrive.

Looking Beyond the Basics

Many of my clients have been told they have low AMH levels or have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriages, PCOS, or endometriosis. In these cases clients are often told IVF if their only option, however this is because routine fertility care does not spend time working to understand and treat the root cause of these conditions, when these areas are addressed often couples conceive naturally, without any assisted fertility treatment needed. 

I commonly see clients that have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility with  traditional blood tests or fertility treatments indicating “normal” results. However, normal isn’t always optimal.

By using advanced testing methods like the DUTCH test (a comprehensive hormone and adrenal health test), I help clients uncover hidden imbalances or nutrient deficiencies that are affecting their fertility. These insights allow us to create a personalised plan to optimise hormone health and improve overall reproductive potential.

The Role of Acupuncture

Acupuncture is at the heart of my practice. This powerful tool supports fertility in numerous ways, including:

• Regulating hormones and promoting menstrual health.

• Supporting ovulation and egg quality.

• Enhancing blood flow to the reproductive organs.

• Promoting relaxation and reducing stress, which can significantly impact fertility outcomes.

Each session is tailored to meet the specific needs of my clients, and where they are in their cycle ensuring their fertility and well-being are nurtured. I also treat the male partner to improve sperm parameters. 

Emotional Support on the Fertility Journey

Fertility challenges often come with a rollercoaster of emotions. I provide a safe and compassionate space where clients feel heard and supported. Alongside treatments, I offer guidance and reassurance, helping clients navigate the emotional toll of trying to conceive.

Here’s what some of my clients have shared:

• “I wish I had met you years ago. Your approach is so thorough, and I finally feel like I have a plan that addresses everything I’ve been through.”

• “The combination of acupuncture and your guidance has been life-changing—not just for my fertility but for my overall well-being.”

Collaboration and Advocacy

Sometimes, it takes a village to create a baby. I’ve built a network of fertility experts, including specialist sonographers, prescribing pharmacists, microbiome experts, and functional nutritionists. Together, we dig deep to uncover the root causes of fertility challenges and create a comprehensive care plan tailored to each couple’s unique needs.

As an advocate for my clients, I also help them navigate the medical system, ensuring they receive the best possible care and testing.
