We are a husband and wife team, a medical doctor and a psychologist, who specialise in treating infertility and improving fertility. The main approaches we use are acupuncture and mindbody medicine.

Both acupuncture and mindbody medicine can increase your chances of getting pregnant and having a baby, whether you are having IVF or not.

acupuncture can double success rates of IVF. Why? Studies have shown changes in hormone regulation, immune function, stress hormones and egg quality. These changes lead to better implantation, fewer miscarriages and more successful pregnancies. Acupuncture may also help women who are not having IVF or those with other problems which disturb fertility, such as endometriosis.

mindbody medicine programmes have been shown to increase pregnancy rates for women having IVF to nearly 50%. They also increase pregnancy rates for women conceiving naturally. As well as increasing your chances of conceiving you will almost certainly find you feel less weepy and sad; you will find you cope better and relationships will improve; you will sleep better and associated stress related problems like IBS and headaches tend to reduce.

We help you with an approach which is tailor made for you using just acupuncture, or mindbody medicine, or a combination of the two.

These treatments may also provide an answer for couples who have tried IVF without success, for people with religious or moral objections to IVF, for people who cannot afford it or for those who just don't want it.
