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 a Hormonal Health Assessment to uncover this root cause 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 simple treatment plan designed to support your unique constitution. Formulated on acupuncture, Chinese medicine and nutrition.

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, anxiety, insomnia, night sweats, spotting, ovulation, regularity of periods, normalising the 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 “un-explained”, “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 to create an integrated treatment plan, specific to your needs, including: 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 health with an integrated, multi-modality treatment plan.

What's involved

Your treatment plan

Now knowing the what and the why behind your symptoms of hormonal imbalance, I leave you with a cup of tea to relax as I reflect on your case and take 15 minutes to pull together a Contract of Care, based on the fundamentals of treatment: nutrition, acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Where necessary, I will take the following few days to speak with my network of specialists and devise specific additions to this treatment plan based on their advice.
