IVF SUPPORT & ACUPUNCTURE
Feel Prepared, Calm and Fully Supported Through IVF
Prepare your body, protect your emotional wellbeing and feel fully supported throughout your treatment
Personalised IVF acupuncture and emotional support before, during and after fertility treatment with a registered midwife and fertility acupuncturist.
It Can Feel Like Everything Is Resting on this One IVF Chance
By the time you reach IVF, you may already be emotionally and physically exhausted.
You may have spent months or years trying to conceive, undergone endless investigations and watched your life become organised around appointments, results and treatment decisions. Perhaps you have already experienced unsuccessful cycles or pregnancy loss and are frightened of allowing yourself to hope again.
You want to give your treatment the greatest possible chance of success, but you may no longer know what else you can do.
Your clinic is focused on your medication, scans, eggs, embryos and treatment protocol. All of that matters. But you are the woman having to live through it, and you need support too.
IVF may be the medical treatment, but you should be cared for as a whole person throughout it.
You Want to Know You Have Supported Every Part of Yourself
You cannot control every part of IVF, and nobody can promise that a cycle will result in a baby. But you can enter treatment knowing that you have prepared yourself physically, supported your emotional wellbeing and created the best possible foundations for the journey ahead.
This IVF support is designed to help you:
prepare your body before treatment begins;
support your menstrual cycle and hormonal health;
feel calmer and more connected to your body;
manage the emotional pressure surrounding appointments and results;
understand what is happening at each stage;
feel less alone when difficult decisions arise; and
know that you have supported yourself in every way reasonably possible.
This is not simply acupuncture delivered alongside IVF. It is personalised support for the woman going through it.
Jen's IVF Story...in her own words
Unexplained Infertility - then after six years. 1st IVF - 1 egg,
Jen worked with Sam
2nd IVF 9 eggs, successful pregnancy and birth of her daughter.
Then when she was ready for baby No2, "there was nowhere else she would be" than
working with Sam resulting in her 2nd pregnancy through IVF.
IT ISN'T LUCK JEN HAD 2 PREGNANCIES BACK TO BACK
"My life changed forever, and I cannot thank you enough"
If this is you I see you.
Friends and Family often don't what to say or know how to support you best
The answer for your sucess (Sam believes) is somewhere
Western medicine hasn't looked yet.
Acupuncture for IVF With Emotional Support Built Around You
Your fertility clinic will follow its treatment protocol. My role is to focus on what you need alongside it. Different symptoms require different treatment.
As a registered midwife, fertility acupuncturist and Emotional Fertility Specialist, I bring together Eastern medicine with Western medicine to support the missing pieces plus understanding of reproductive health, menstrual cycles, fertility treatment and the emotional impact of trying to conceive.
Your support is shaped around your menstrual cycle, health, previous response to treatment and what you need at each stage. As your IVF treatment progresses, our focus can change with you supporting your body physically while also caring for the fear, pressure and emotional exhaustion that fertility treatment can bring. Our work adapts as you move through the process.
There is nothing standard about your fertility journey, so there should be nothing standard about your support.
Ideally, we begin working together at least three months before your IVF cycle.
The follicles involved in your treatment have been developing for several months before egg collection. Beginning earlier gives us time to understand your body and any factors that may need additional support.
Where possible, six months gives us even more time to build stronger foundations without the pressure of an approaching treatment date.
However, if your IVF cycle is already underway or your embryo transfer is approaching,
it is not too late to ask for support.
We will begin with where you are now and focus on what will be most helpful at this stage.
Support Through Every Stage of IVF
Preparing Your Body for IVF
IVF supports fertilisation, but your body still needs to provide a receptive environment for implantation and early pregnancy.
Ideally beginning three months before treatment, we focus on supporting your menstrual cycle, hormonal balance, circulation and uterine lining so you can enter IVF knowing you have prepared your body as fully as possible.
Stimulation and Monitoring
As medication begins, your acupuncture is adapted around your clinic’s protocol, scan results, symptoms and emotional needs.
There is no standard IVF acupuncture formula. Your treatment changes according to how your body is responding at each stage.
Egg Collection and Embryo Transfer
Acupuncture is carefully timed around egg collection and embryo transfer. Depending on your treatment plan, this may take place the day before, on the day itself or the day afterwards.
Alongside preparing your body, I help you manage the hope, fear and uncertainty that often intensify as transfer approaches.
Calm Conception: After Embryo Transfer
After transfer, Calm Conception supports you emotionally through the wait for your pregnancy-test result.
You have somewhere safe to take the fear, questions and constant symptom-checking, helping you feel calmer and fully supported during what can be the hardest part of IVF.
What Could feel Different?
Imagine beginning IVF feeling that your body has been prepared rather than rushed into another procedure.
Imagine understanding what you can support without feeling responsible for controlling every outcome.
You could feel calmer going into appointments, less overwhelmed by treatment decisions and more connected to the body that may currently feel as though it has disappointed you,no longer having to carry all the physical and emotional pressure by yourself.
You could move through treatment knowing:
there is someone looking at the whole picture
you have somewhere safe to take your fear
your care will change as your needs change, and
you will remain supported whatever the result brings.
“We knew we were lost, but until I started working with you, I didn’t realise how lost we were. Of all the people and treatments we have tried and seen throughout this long journey, you are the one we are most grateful for.
We only wish we had found you sooner.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Does acupuncture help IVF success?
Acupuncture supports the physical and emotional conditions that IVF depends upon.
IVF performs the fertilisation stage of conception, but your ovaries still need to respond to stimulation, your uterine lining needs to develop and your body needs to be ready to receive an embryo. Acupuncture works through the nervous system and circulation, helping to support blood flow, hormonal regulation and the environment surrounding your eggs and uterine lining.
Some studies have reported improvements in ovarian response, endometrial development and clinical pregnancy rates.
Acupuncture is one part of personalised support designed to give your body the strongest foundation possible while also helping you feel calmer, more regulated and fully supported throughout any treatment.
When should I start acupuncture before IVF?
Ideally, I recommend beginning IVF acupuncture at least three months before your treatment cycle. This gives us time to understand your menstrual cycle, symptoms, fertility history and previous response to treatment before IVF begins.
If your treatment has already started, it is not necessarily too late. Your acupuncture can be adapted to the stage you have reached.
How often should I have acupuncture during IVF?
There is no standard IVF acupuncture schedule because we work with your cycles, different symptoms, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnoses and treatment protocols require different support.
Treatment is often weekly during preparation, but the frequency may change during ovarian stimulation, around egg collection or before embryo transfer. I will recommend a schedule based on your body, treatment dates and what you need at each stage.
Can acupuncture improve egg quality?
An egg develops within a living follicular environment influenced by circulation, hormonal communication, metabolic health, inflammation and stress physiology.
We aim to support that environment before and during IVF so that the eggs available to you have the best possible conditions in which to develop.
This is also why preparation matters. A single treatment immediately before embryo transfer cannot provide the same opportunity to work with your cycle and whole reproductive health as beginning several months beforehand.
Can acupuncture help with low AMH or poor ovarian response?
AMH provides information about the likely number of follicles available to respond to stimulation, but it does not determine the quality of every egg or tell us the outcome of an individual IVF cycle.
Acupuncture cannot restore the ovarian reserve or guarantee that more eggs will be collected. However, it can be used to support ovarian circulation, nervous-system regulation and the environment in which the available follicles develop.
Emerging research involving women with poor ovarian response has reported associations with more retrieved and mature eggs, although this has not yet translated consistently into higher live-birth rates. I therefore work with the eggs and circumstances you have rather than treating your AMH result as the whole story.
Can acupuncture support the uterine lining before embryo transfer?
Yes. Preparing the uterine environment is an important part of my IVF support.
The lining needs time, adequate circulation and appropriate hormonal stimulation to develop and become receptive to an embryo. Acupuncture is used to support circulation and nervous-system regulation while your IVF clinic monitors your lining and manages the medication responsible for its development.
Research in women with PCOS undergoing IVF has reported improvements in endometrial pattern and pregnancy rates following a course of acupuncture. This does not mean that acupuncture can guarantee a particular lining thickness or implantation, but it gives us a positive and practical way to support the environment into which your embryo will be transferred.
Should I have acupuncture before and after embryo transfer?
Yes. Preparing the uterine environment is an important part of my IVF support.
The lining needs time, adequate circulation and appropriate hormonal stimulation to develop and become receptive to an embryo. Acupuncture is used to support circulation and nervous-system regulation while your IVF clinic monitors your lining and manages the medication responsible for its development.
