The Fertility and Pregnancy Specialists

Acupuncture has been used for many centuries to improve overall well-being, and a healthier body has a greater chance of conceiving naturally. As well as improving general health, acupuncture can be used to treat specific conditions which affect fertility.

Infertility can alter nearly every aspect of a person's life. Few situations in life are as challenging and overwhelming. The emotional aspects of infertility often go ignored and untreated, and because it is such a private issue, many couples do not share their experiences which can add to the problem. At Unity Fertility we offer a safe an neutral place to discuss emotions and help with healing.  

During consultations focused on fertility you can expect to discuss how you're currently feeling and be guided on measuring things like cervical mucas, basel base temperature and stress levels.

Some of the related fertility issues that we support and treat include:

It really does take two to make a baby, and the men that visit the clinic are supported in their individual journeys. 

It's strongly recommended that you look into your own part of the fertility process by having a sperm test so that we can ensure we are tailoring our treatments to you.

If you suffer from stress, aches and pains please mention this in your treatment. Quite often, as acupuncture balances the body, other symptoms you may currently be experiencing can disappear. 

To achieve pregnancy, men need strong kidney energy - this supports both sexual and reproductive health.

You can expect your treatment to include a discussion on how you're feeling (particularly stress-wise) and then lie on your tummy to receive acupuncture and application of the chinese herb, moxabustion to support your system to focus on and re-balance your kidney energy. 

Acupuncture can help with:

The clinic offers some treatments that can benefit either men or women, so we've grouped them below for ease of reference. 

Nutritional Therapists do not claim to ‘diagnose’ or ‘treat’ disease or illness.  However, we can closely guide you towards optimising your health in a whole host of areas, not just fertility. But how can nutritional therapy help with becoming pregnant?

Although the reasons behind today’s high levels of infertility and miscarriage are largely unknown; there are so many factors which can be addressed to give you and your partner the best chances of conceiving a healthy baby.

In today's modern world we could be constantly exposed to a cocktail of hormone disruptors, and our bodies, which are very sensitive to these pollutants, may decide to shut down - this may be a factor in ‘unexplained fertility’.

The other factor is poor sperm health which can be a result of the food choices we make.  Fortunately men take only 70 days to make a sperm, so any dietary imbalances can be corrected relatively quickly.  Selenium and zinc are key nutrients which have been found to be very low in sub-fertile men.

Stress, weight management, (both over and underweight), and methylation problems for genetic  reasons  are just some of the other possible areas of investigation if you are struggling to conceive.

Everyone is different – and during a nutritional therapy session with me I will investigate the many possible reasons for infertility and come up with an individualised plan tailor made to you and your partner.
