FERTILITY

Katie has a special interest in treating fertility issues and is committed to offering support at what can be a very stressful time.  Acupuncture works perfectly with Western Medicine and far from being in conflict can play a supportive role for those receiving fertility treatments including IVF.  Chinese Medicine looks at the whole person and treats holistically, tailoring treatment to the individual and not just signs and symptoms.
A recent study published in the British Medical Journal concluded that when combined with IVF, 'acupuncture increased the odds of clinical pregnancy by 65%".

PREGNANCY

Acupuncture can be used safely throughout each trimester helping you to relax and enjoy the pregnancy.  It can allay anxiety and fatigue whilst helping with more specific symptoms ranging from morning sickness to lumbar pain and sciatica.  As a natural alternative it is the perfect way to maintain and support your health whilst pregnant and beyond.
Safety is very important and certain points should not be used and are never used during pregnancy.  To ensure the safety of both mother and baby Katie is registered with the British Acupuncture Council and as such is bound by strict codes and ethics.
