Pre-Conception Care Program
For women who are thinking about starting a family or adding to a family
Many times we see a woman who is not physically healthy but feels she must conceive. By starting regular Acupuncture sessions prior to conceiving or trying to conceive Acupuncture can;
- Improve your overall health
- Regulate your hormones
- Regulate your menstrual cycle
- Treat your underlying conditions that may hinder future conception
- Teach you how to understand your natural body, know when you are ovulating and find the best time for conception
Thus when time comes conception can be a carefree joyous occasion.
We generally recommend 3 menstrual cycles of weekly or fortnightly Acupuncture treatment before trying to conceive.
Natural Fertility Program

Acupuncture can help you achieve a natural pregnancy. Acupuncture can effectively treat underlying conditions such as;
- Endometriosis
- PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome)
- Ovarian cysts
- Fibroids
- Ovulation issues
- Hormonal imbalances such as high testosterone
- Unknown infertility
IVF SUPPORT PROGRAM
For women about to start or in the process of IVF
There are various reasons why couples seek the assistance of IVF. IVF is a miracle procedure that can give many couples hope. However in some cases the process can be long and difficult. Acupuncture during IVF is known to;
- Improve ovarian function to produce better quality eggs
- Regulate hormones to produce a greater number of follicles
- Increase blood flow to the uterus and increase the thickness of the uterine lining thus improving chances of implantation
- Relax and decrease stress levels
- Prevent the uterus from contracting after embryo transplant
- Lessen the side effect of drugs used in IVF
Acupuncturists believe that a woman’s physical and emotional health is very important to the success rate of IVF. Our treatments will aim to combine relaxation with physical results.
Acupuncture is commonly used in conjunction with IVF in various countries including China and Germany. Clinical trials are now revealing that Acupuncture can increase IVF success rates significantly and some IVF specialists in Australian are now recommending Acupuncture.
We recommend seeing a woman as early as three months before IVF stimulation begins, however Acupuncture can be started at any time. Our Acupuncturist will give you a personal timeline for treatments which will offer you support right up to the birth process.

THERAPIES PROVIDED
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture involves the gentile insertion of stainless steel sterile needles into the body to stimulate blood and energy circulation. Our practitioners are experts at pain free Acupuncture. During the session needles will stay in your body for 20 minutes, you will find yourself in a relaxed state, where healing is done.
CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
“The natural essence of the universe gives life to all things” Lao Tzu
Chinese herbal medicine involves the blending of natural substances to form an individual formula to suit your needs. We typically use ten to fifteen herbs in each formula, which is drunk as a tea twice daily. Some examples of Chinese herbs used in fertility include; Chinese Angelica root, Chinese Goji berry, Chinese Yam and many more. All herbs are safe in pregnancy for mother and baby.
CHINESE NUTRITION
Many pregnant woman like to eat healthy to nourish the growing child within, so why not good habits early. As the Chinese say “Do you ever see a beautiful flower growing in concrete?” We need to nourish a flower and so too nourish our garden. As a Chinese medicine practitioner I have a particular perspective when it comes to food; it’s all about harmony and balance – yin and yang. I can guide you using some diet advice and nutritional supplements.
