Finally, deeper support for painful cycles, endometriosis, and hormonal symptoms.
Who this is for
Do any of these sound familiar?
Chronic pelvic pain;
Endometriosis or adenomyosis;
Painful, heavy, or irregular periods;
Hormonal ups and downs that affect your daily life.
If so, this programme was created with you in mind.
Pelvic pain is rarely just a local issue.
In our clinical experience, chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, adenomyosis and cyclical bladder or gynaecological pain are driven by a repeating pattern involving nervous system sensitisation, inflammation and immune dysregulation. These drivers fluctuate across the menstrual cycle, which is why symptoms often worsen around ovulation, before a bleed, or during menstruation.
This pathway exists because isolated treatments rarely change that pattern. Recovery requires timing, continuity and strategy, not just symptom chasing.
A cycle-led recovery model, not one-off care
This is not ad-hoc acupuncture.
Care is timed to your cycle and pain triggers, with focused support during known flare windows such as ovulation, PMS or bleeding. This allows treatment to build logically over time rather than resetting at every appointment.
A phased recovery model that adapts as you do
Treatment is delivered across clear phases:
Regulate & dial down – calm pain sensitivity and nervous system load
Reduce inflammation – target cyclical and immune-driven flare patterns
Repattern pain pathways – improve resilience and long-term stability
Progress is guided by response in how you feel and key clinical metrics.
More than just acupuncture
This pathway includes:
- Regular acupuncture and electro-acupuncture
- Functional medicine testing – thinking outside of the box and beyond clinical parameters to help explain the unexplained.
- Built-in flare support
- Complimentary red light therapy and PEMF
- Pelvic pain mapping and ongoing review
You’re supported throughout, not left to manage alone.
Health tracking and clinical oversight
We use simple health and symptom tracking to guide care and make progress visible. Treatment is adjusted deliberately as your body responds. This ensures care remains focused, personalised and effective.
Designed for real recovery
This pathway is for people who want meaningful change, not quick fixes. It’s suited to chronic or cyclical pelvic pain, endometriosis, suspected endometriosis or adenomyosis, with or without a formal diagnosis.
Flexible and outcome-focused
Most people complete the initial recovery phase over around 3-4 months. Some phases move faster, others need more time.
Your investment
The Pelvic Pain Recovery Pathway is currently offered as a pilot programme at £345 per month, with a minimum commitment of three months.
This reflects an initial recovery phase designed to establish regulation, reduce flare-ups and begin repatterning pain responses.
Most people need at least three months to see meaningful change. If further support is needed, the pathway can be extended on a month-by-month basis or paused depending on clinical progress.
Getting Started!
The first step is a an initial discovery call, where we explore your pain pattern and determine whether this pathway is the right fit.
This is more than treatment. It’s a complete package of care and clarity.

FAQ's
Is this a fixed 12-week programme?
No, and that’s intentional.
The Pelvic Pain Recovery Pathway is designed as an initial recovery phase, typically completed over around 12 weeks. This timeframe reflects how long it often takes to influence pain patterns, nervous system regulation and inflammatory drivers in a meaningful way.
Pelvic pain recovery is not linear. Some people move through phases more quickly, while others benefit from spending longer in specific phases. The pathway is designed to adapt based on your response, not an arbitrary deadline.
What happens if I need more time?
If progress is steady but certain patterns remain stubborn, we may recommend an extension.
This allows us to:
- Spend longer in nervous system regulation or neuromodulation
- Support flare reduction more fully
- Consolidate improvements before stepping down
Any extension is discussed collaboratively, with clear clinical reasoning and no pressure to continue.
Am I locked into long-term treatment?
No.
This pathway is not an open-ended membership and not a “use it or lose it” package. It is a structured recovery process with built-in review points.
You can choose to:
- Complete the initial recovery phase and step down
- Extend the pathway if clinically appropriate
- Transition into lighter ongoing support
- Pause treatment if needed
The aim is appropriate care, not indefinite treatment.
How is this different from prepaid session packages?
Traditional session packages focus on a set number of appointments, regardless of timing, response or flare patterns.
This pathway is different. It is:
- Cycle-led rather than session-count-led
- Phased rather than fixed
- Reviewed and adapted as your body responds
- Designed around recovery, not just symptom management
You are not paying for sessions. You are engaging in a clinical pathway of care.
What if my pain improves sooner than expected?
That’s a positive outcome.
If pain stabilises earlier than anticipated, treatment frequency may be reduced or the pathway shortened. The goal is not to “use up” treatment time, but to support recovery efficiently and safely.
What if my pain flares during the pathway?
Flare-ups are common in chronic pelvic pain and do not mean treatment is failing.
This pathway includes:
- Built-in flare support options
- Cycle-timed treatment adjustments
- Nervous system regulation strategies
You are not expected to manage flares alone or wait until your next scheduled appointment.
Do I need a diagnosis of endometriosis or adenomyosis?
No.
A formal diagnosis is not required. Many people experience significant pelvic pain without clear imaging findings.
What matters is your symptom pattern, cycle relationship and clinical presentation, which are explored in your Pelvic Pain Mapping Consultation.

What commitment is expected from me?
Recovery relies on consistency rather than perfection.
We ask that you:
- Attend treatments regularly
- Communicate changes in symptoms
- Engage with cycle awareness and nervous system support where recommended
- Allow time for gradual change
The pathway is collaborative, not prescriptive.
What happens after the pathway?
At the end of the initial recovery phase, we review progress and discuss next steps.
Options may include:
- Stepping down from treatment
- A short extension phase
- Transition into lighter ongoing support
There is always a clear, agreed plan forward.
