Our simple 3 step process

Your Treatment Plan

Whether you’re preparing your body for natural conception, seeking answers to pain and other cyclical symptoms or simply wish to establish hormonal balance after many years on the contraceptive pill, these 3 key steps are designed to help you take back control of your health.
STEP 1

Discover

Discover the problem

Knowing the root cause of your hormonal imbalance or sub-fertility is the fundamental part of your journey to optimal health. Your first step with me will be to have an in-depth consultation to begin to uncover the root cause/causes, and identify a simple solution going forward. Consider this a strategy session where we will be revealing the what and the why, offering you a treatment plan designed to support your unique constitution, and based on the level of support you require and need at this particular time. 

The Outcome

The outcome is really dependent on how far you are willing to take it. 100% commitment to each aspect of your treatment plan, from nutrition to acupuncture, can have a significant and sustainable effect on your hormonal health. How do we know?

We regularly review subjective and objective outcomes, such as: pain scales, cyclical symptoms, skin breakouts, headaches, mood, sleep, ovulation, regularity of periods, menstrual flow, egg quality and reserves, endometrial lining. Positive changes in any of these measure would indicate that we have helped facilitate change in your hormonal health.

What's involved

Please allow for 90 minutes.

Review of your medical testing to date

Discover areas of hormonal imbalance and the sticking point in your health presentation. This is so important as what doctors consider to be “unexplained”, “borderline” or “not-relevant” we see very differently. These patterns of imbalance may not fall in the parameters of a diagnosable, western medical condition but they are still incredibly relevant and can explain a lot about your picture of health.

In-depth review of your personal and family medical history

Clarify the root cause of the issue, and review whether any further testing is helpful or necessary.

Chinese medical diagnosis

Here, we look at patterns of disharmony and the root cause of your fundamental imbalances. We will look at your physiology and reflect on where things may be going wrong internally, contributing to your current picture of hormonal health giving you a greater understanding of WHY you are feeling as you do.

STEP 2

Design

Design the solution

Together, we design a clear and simple plan considering every aspect of your emotional and physical health. And if acupuncture just isn’t enough? I work alongside a team of specialists in and outside our clinical team, to create an integrated treatment plan, specific to your needs. These include reproductive endocrinologists, talk therapists, nutritional therapists and herbalists.

The Outcome

You will leave with a strong and clear strategy, knowing how to optimise and take back control of your health over the next 3 months. You will be armed with the knowledge to help facilitate hormonal and cellular health with an integrated, multi-modality treatment plan.

What's involved

Designing your treatment plan

Now knowing the what and the why behind your symptoms of hormonal imbalance, I take some time after our session and create a tailored Contract of Care. This forms the foundation of your treatment plan.

At its simplest, your plan may focus on acupuncture alone. Where additional fertility and hormone support may be required, your plan can be extended to include guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, further functional testing, referral letters, access to trusted specialists, and even dedicated Nutritional Therapy sessions through our Bloom, Balance, or Flow packages.

Tailoring your plan

Please note, I have very specific treatment plans for IVF, ICSI and IUI patients, based on timings of transfers, medications etc. Feel free to ask at your next appointment or enquire for details.

STEP 3

Direct

Direct the treatment

After DISCOVERING your underlying health imbalances and DESIGNING a tailored made, integrated treatment plan offering you a solution for success, work with you to help you achieve hormonal balance and create an optimal, fertile environment primed for natural conception.

The Outcome

By around 12 treatments, many patients begin to notice meaningful changes. While we cannot guarantee pregnancy, we can promise our full commitment to helping you feel held, heard, hopeful, informed, and reconnected to your body. For some, 12 weeks is enough to see progress; for others, continuing weekly or moving to a reduced frequency can be hugely beneficial in sustaining balance and allowing space for the body’s natural processes to unfold.

Each treatment plan is reviewed and adapted with compassion and clarity, recognising that every fertility journey is unique. Our outcome is always guided by the same intention: to restore harmony, support your hormonal health, and create the most fertile ground for change.

What's involved

Review

You are unique! And as such it is very difficult to relay how treatment will progress and at what speed. Your plan is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains effective and aligned with your goals. Each stage of treatment builds on the last, and we adapt as your body responds.

Integrated care

This would be dependent on the level of support you require and we agreed on. Depending on your needs, care may focus solely on acupuncture or be extended through Bloom, Balance, or Flow to include support beyond the needles. This creates a seamless, whole-systems approach to your fertility journey.
