PERSONALISED SUPPORT THROUGH IVF
You are already carrying enough.
IVF can bring appointments, medication, uncertainty and emotional strain all at once. Acupuncture at our clinic is designed to give you a calm, clinically considered space within that process, not another complicated demand.
01
Your story comes first
Your IVF protocol, health history and priorities shape your care.
02
Clear, realistic guidance
We explain where acupuncture may fit without promising outcomes.
03
Designed around your cycle
Timing is adapted to your treatment stage and fertility-clinic schedule
WHERE ACUPUNCTURE MAY FIT
Support at each stage of your IVF cycle.
Acupuncture is provided alongside (not instead of) your fertility treatment. Appointments are adapted around your IVF protocol, symptoms and fertility-clinic schedule
01
PREPARING
Before your IVF cycle
A personalised plan can begin before treatment starts, with attention to your health history, cycle, sleep, stress and any symptoms that may affect your wellbeing
03
ACCOMPANYING
Around transfer and afterwards
Gentle, individualised care can support relaxation and emotional wellbeing during a time that often carries considerable physical and mental pressure.
YOUR FIRST VISIT
Clarity before commitment.
Your first appointment is a comprehensive consultation, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. We take time to understand your current IVF stage and explain whether acupuncture may be appropriate for you.
1

Your fertility and medical history, symptoms, protocol and goals.
2
We explain
A realistic, personalised recommendation with no fixed package.
