Fertility Support with Acupuncture and Chinese
A different way of looking at fertility
Chinese medicine has a long history of working with reproductive health. We look at the person as a whole including current western diagnoses, investigations, past menstrual cycles, general wellbeing, stress, sleep, digestion. All of these things interact with your reproductive health.
Acupuncture and IVF
If you're going through IVF, you may be looking for more support within that process, and as someone who has been in this space for many years I am in a unique spot to be able to give you real support and advocacy in your with your IVF dr to make sure you are getting the service you are paying for.
We don't see Chinese medicine as a replacement for your fertility specialist or medical care, Acupuncture is usually incorporated around your IVF cycle, longside your existing treatment as part of a broader approach to looking after yourself during what can be a physically and emotionally demanding time.
You don't have to have everything figured out
You don't need to arrive at Nourishlife knowing exactly what treatment you need.
Perhaps you're just starting to think about having a baby.
Perhaps you've been trying for a while.
Maybe you're preparing for another IVF cycle, or you're simply looking for someone who understands how complicated the whole process is and can help guide you through it.
We'll take the time to understand your situation and work with you from there.
At Nourishlife Chinese Medicine, fertility care is about more than chasing a positive pregnancy test. It's about supporting you throughout the process, with thoughtful, individualised Chinese medicine and acupuncture care.
“Often Drs say your blood tests have come back ok or good, but that means nearly nothing, because, ok there’s still no baby so now what? I have to wait a year? What can I do now?”
Firstly, try not to worry
We can figure you out.
There is nothing wrong with you. You are perfect and lush and fertile, we might just need to sort out a few wrinkles.
Together we will formulate a step by step plan.
With this in mind we ask you for all of your recent blood tests, and scans (or get some ordered) so that we can really assess you in a practical way so we can help make your journey successful.
What I say to my patients is we make sure all your basic needs are met first, so that you are OPTIMAL rather than just FUNCTIONAL. We need a starting point and then a bit more data. NO GUESS WORK
