Fertility Support

Supporting you on your journey, every step of the way

Trying to get pregnant and facing sub-fertility can be lonely, overwhelming and stressful. I have worked with hundreds of couples on their fertility journey providing nutritional support, acupuncture and guidance through their fertility journeys.  

​

I help couples who :

  • want to optimise their fertility before they start trying;

  • have been trying for a while and are not sure why they aren't getting pregnant;

  • have known fertility challenges;

  • are going to be undergoing IVF or other Assisted Reproductive Techniques.

You don't need to do this alone... Let me help

​

Navigating your fertility journey can feel overwhelming, especially with so much information out there. I’m here to support you every step of the way. I specialise in helping women and their partners who want to start a family, whether naturally or with IVF. I offer compassionate, evidence-based fertility support tailored to your individual needs. Using a blend of functional medicine and nutritional therapy, we work together to uncover any underlying causes of infertility and create a plan that feels right for you. I also offer acupuncture support to those who are able to visit me in my clinic in Aberfeldy, Scotland, UK. With advanced testing and compassionate guidance to help you understand treatment options, your own fertility and your body's signs, I aim to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to support your fertility journey and move closer to your dream of starting a family.

When to start working with me

​

Optimising your fertility and preparing for pregnancy is a journey that takes time and care. Eggs and sperm take around three months to mature and it's essential to create the healthiest environment possible for them during this crucial period. This involves identifying and addressing factors that might impact fertility, such as inflammation, circulation issues, imbalanced hormones, and suboptimal nutrient levels. By starting early, we have the time we need to make meaningful changes through diet, nutritional support, and lifestyle adjustments. If you choose to include acupuncture in your plan, it can further support your fertility. Together, we'll work towards creating the best possible foundation for your pregnancy journey.

 

 

How acupuncture can support fertility 

​

Acupuncture can help to reduce stress levels, and have an overall positive effect on fertile health for both natural conception and during assisted reproductive treatment (ART) and IVF. Acupuncture has been shown to increase the blood flow to the ovaries which helps the maturing follicles and eggs get the optimal environment for producing healthy embryos. Research into the mechanisms of acupuncture have shown that it can regulate the hormonal balance, boost progesterone levels and improve the lining of the womb. In men it has also been shown in some research trials, to have a positive effect on  sperm count, morphology and motility. 

​

​

 

​

I have supported hundreds of women and couples on their fertility journeys and have a special interest in this area. I have undertaken additional specialist training in women's health and fertility support including an Advanced Diploma in Fertility Acupuncture with Naava Carman. I undertook a major piece of original research into Acupuncture for Recurrent Miscarriage for my MSc thesis.
