Thanks for reaching out for further information on how acupuncture can support your fertility journey. Here’s your unique link to download a treatment plan protocol, better explaining what we are doing and why in your IVF/IUI/ICSI cycle. Be it donor eggs / sperm / same sex fertility support, this protocol is relevant for each person undertaking fertility treatment.

Ideally, we start treatment based on the lifecycle of the egg – so 120 days pre-your IVF start date as this is how long it takes to mature. However, each patient is unique, which is why we encourage you to reach out for a free initial consultation so we can chat further about your specific picture of health and make our best recommendations regarding possible treatment moving forward.

Acupuncture is a natural adjuct therapy that works alongside fertility treatment, so rest assured it’s not a one or the other approach and there is an abundance of growing research that support the efficacy of this combined approach. For more information, please don’t hesitate to reach out and email me on [email protected].

Kindest Regards,

Kimberley

Clinical Director + Lead Acupuncturist.

The Life + Lemons Way

Whether you’re preparing your body for fertility or wanting to transition smoothly through the menopause, Life + Lemons practitioners aim to help you uncover what is happening at the root of the issue and provide you with a whole systems, integrative approach to each treatment plan to help you reconnect with the innate wisdom of your body.

Patient Testimonials

“The benefits were an almost immediate effect which include a better cycle length, much less and now manageable pain and no vomiting which is a huge change for me!

To say I was hooked would be an understatement, the clinic is a beautiful and calming space that is always spotless and the perfect temperature (a win for those perpetually cold!). Kimberley from the first time we met was fantastic, taking time to fully understand my needs and making sure I felt calm, seen and heard. She explained everything she was doing and my experience was super relaxing and enjoyable. “

“ The benefits have not only helped with my pain, but I’m sleeping better, my skin is clearer, my energy levels are higher and I feel so much healthier. I felt relief after just one session and for each week that went by it got better and better. ““I had severe period pain which was impacting my quality of life quite seriously. The benefits of acupuncture were an almost immediate effect which included a better cycle length, much less and now manageable pain”
“ I went with Severe pain from my Menstruation cycle & Tension anxiety. I felt so much better after my first session, I slept better and felt less anxious, I even had more energy. I had 8 sessions within 4 weeks and my symptoms had improved. I felt more like me again”.
