Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or simply want to support your reproductive health, acupuncture can be a gentle yet powerful way to help your body find balance. My aim is to help regulate your hormones, improve circulation to the reproductive organs, and support your emotional wellbeing, creating the best possible conditions for conception.

At my clinic in Finsbury Park, North London, I offer a calm, nurturing space where you can pause, rest, and allow your body to restore its natural rhythm. Every treatment is tailored to you, because everyone’s fertility journey is unique.

How Does Acupuncture Work for Fertility?

Acupuncture is deeply rooted in both traditional wisdom and modern science. When fine needles are inserted into specific points, they stimulate local nerves, which send messages to the brain via the central nervous system. This prompts the release of natural chemicals that influence many systems in the body, including the hormonal, reproductive, immune, digestive and cardiovascular systems.

For fertility, this means we can help to regulate hormones, support ovulation, improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, and encourage a calm, balanced state.

My role as an acupuncturist is to select the right points to guide your body back into balance, giving it a gentle nudge so it can do the rest.

What Happens in a Fertility Acupuncture Appointment?

Your initial consultation lasts around 90 minutes. During this time, I’ll ask lots of questions to understand your full health picture, including your menstrual cycle, lifestyle, stress levels and fertility journey so far.

I’ll take your pulse, look at your tongue, and then you can settle in for your treatment. The acupuncture itself is relaxing, and many people drift into a restorative rest or fall asleep. The needles stay in for around 20–25 minutes, and you may feel a gentle, heavy or warm sensation.

Follow-up appointments last 60 minutes and include a shorter conversation about your progress before your treatment.

How Often Should I Come for Treatment?

For fertility support, I recommend weekly sessions for 8–12 weeks. Some people benefit from longer courses of treatment (up to 6 months), while others respond more quickly.

You can have acupuncture at any point in your cycle, as I’ll adapt your treatment to your phase - whether you’re menstruating, ovulating, or in the luteal stage.

If you’re about to begin IVF or assisted conception, I can also support you with acupuncture at key points in your cycle to help optimise your response and manage any side effects.
