Whatever stage you are at in planning your family, whether you just want to plan ahead or have problems you need to overcome, I am here to provide you with support, advice, natural and effective treatments. Many recent studies have shown that acupuncture is an effective treatment for infertility, particularly when used as part of a coordinated approach with western medicine.
The treatment has been shown to be effective in:
- Regulating the menstrual cycle
- Improves egg quality

- Helping to trigger ovulation in some women with ovulatory dysfunction
- Helping women with PCOS, endemetriosis, dysmenorrhea, pelvic inflammation
- Reduces miscarriages
- Enhances immune system
