The journey to parenthood, can be a confusing, overwhelming and stressful time, especially if you have been trying for a while with no answers, have experienced failed IVF cycles or pregnancy loss. Whether you’ve read somewhere that fertility acupuncture might be helpful or you have been recommended to try it by a friend, it’s understandable that you may have questions. I aim to help you navigate the process, provide clarity and support, ensuring you have the tools and resources to help you on your path to parenthood.
IS FERTILITY ACUPUNCTURE SUPPORT right for me?
I have successfully worked with many clients who are at different stages of their fertility journey. An integrated fertility acupuncture programme may be beneficial if you are:
At the start of your fertility journey and looking to support your natural conception chances.
Have been trying to conceive for a while, without success and have been diagnosed with ‘unexplained fertility’.
Feeling overwhelmed and struggling with what to do next on your fertility journey.
Considering IVF/ICSI/IUI or have had previous unsuccessful IVF cycles.
Have a history of recurrent miscarriage or ectopic pregnancies.
Have been diagnosed with hormonal imbalances such as low AMH, high FSH, PCOS or Endometriosis.
Have been diagnosed with auto-immune disorders such as Hashimoto’s disease or thyroiditis.
Exploring egg preservation or donor egg/sperm assisted conception.
If you or your partner has had an abnormal sperm analysis or sperm DNA fragmentation test.
Are experiencing difficulties getting pregnant, after the birth of your first child.
“Samina was the first person to make me feel hopeful about conceiving naturally. Her acupuncture treatments took into consideration underlying health concerns and emotional issues, as well as looking at nutrition and lifestyle and I am pleased to say that I am now 8 weeks pregnant and conceived naturally!”
WHAT makes your treatments different?
My approach to fertility support is truly integrative, combining the best of traditional wisdom and modern science. As a qualified Acupuncturist and Naturopath, I draw from the rich foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine — Acupuncture and Chinese dietary therapy — while incorporating evidence-based naturopathic treatments such as naturopathic nutrition, detoxification protocols, flower remedies, and individualised lifestyle interventions.
Alongside my clinical expertise, I have pursued advanced fertility training with the leading Fertility Support Company, and stay continually informed by the latest biomedical research. This positions me uniquely to bridge eastern and western perspectives, offering fresh insights into your fertility and hormonal health.
Each treatment plan is carefully tailored to you — innovative, holistic, and fully integrated — designed to not just help improve outcomes, but to nourish your entire journey toward vitality, balance, and conception.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER A COURSE OF TREATMENT?
You are unique. There is no one quite like you. Which is why, not only is your treatment plan bespoke and tailored to you, but your response to treatment and your outcomes will be unique to you also. After embarking on a acupuncture support programme, many patients report back noticeable changes such as:
Improvements in menstrual cycle irregularities.
Reduced PMS and period pain.
More energy.
Better regulation of their reproductive hormones.
Better digestive function.
Improvements in IVF outcomes such as increased uterine endometrial lining, increased blood flow to the ovaries, resulting in improved follicular recruitment and egg development during IVF cycles.
Sperm health optimisation
Research has shown us, that both egg and sperm development takes place over a period of 90 days +. Therefore embarking on regular fertility support with Acupuncture and Naturopathy for a minimum of 3-4 months*, may positively support fertility, natural conception or IVF outcomes. For your flexibility, I offer both individual appointments and fertility packages which are a cost effective option for long term treatment.
*Complex cases - treatment times may vary and may require longer periods of clinical support.
