Initial consultation- What to expect
I specialise in fertility support Acupuncture helping couples struggling with fertility issues. I understand how overwhelming it can be whether you're trying to conceive naturally or alongside IVF, have suffered from a miscarriage, or have a hormonal imbalance like PCOS. With 12 years of experience I have worked with hundreds of couples through this difficult time. I’m now based in Northallerton, NorthYorkshire after a recent move to Thirsk in the Summer.
Your first appointment at the clinic will include a full comprehensive fertility history-please bring a copy of any test results you would like me to review. I will also do a more in-depth health interview. I may recommend dietary and supplement support and I may make some lifestyle modifications. I will then go over an individualised treatment plan and offer you a taster treatment of acupuncture. This will last upto 75 minutes.
Natural Fertility Plan
I recommend Acupuncture starting around three months before conception takes place. Most women know that a typical menstrual cycle lasts about 25-31 days. But it actually takes about three months for an egg to mature. During that time it is vital to create healthy follicles and better egg quality; balance hormones and regulate the menstrual cycle; and to aid and facilitate your body to be in the best condition for conception to occur.
During this time Acupuncture can help with blood flow to increase ovarian response and improve the endometrial lining, which all enhance the chances of a successful implantation.
IVF/IUI AND ASSISTED CONCEPTION SUPPORT
For some couples assisted conception treatment such as IVF/IUI or clomid cycles offer the best option for a successful pregnancy.
Acupuncture during fertility treatment such as IVF or a frozen embryo can assist your body to respond to the medication and help you feel more positive and relaxed.
I have worked and supported hundreds of couples through this process and have a detailed understanding of IVF and other assisted conception procedures. I use very specific and detailed protocols shown in clinical trials to improve IVF outcomes.

PREGNANCY SUPPORT
Once you are pregnant, it is recommended to continue Acupuncture until 9-12 weeks to help support and maintain your pregnancy. Acupuncture can also help with morning sickness, anxiety, digestive symptoms, fatigue and heartburn. Acupuncture is particularly effective for pain management of conditions such as carpal tunnel, leg cramps, sciatica, pelvic pain and lower back pain should you experience of these.
To Rachael,
Rachael is very knowledgeable and helpful. I had my initial consultation last night and Rachael made me feel so at ease. I'm so happy I have chosen your clinic.
