Acupuncture & Tui Na 
​

I am an acupuncture & Tui Na therapist

Protocol for Auricular Acupuncture 

Recommended for IVF
  • Before Egg Retrieval: 2-3 sessions to regulate plasma levels of fertility hormones and maturing eggs
  • After egg retrieval: 1 session on the afternoon of egg retrieval to relieve bloating, pain and potential side effects of ovarian stimulation.
  • Before Sperm collection: 2 Sessions before sperm collection to raise sperm count and motility
  • Morning of 
Normal acupuncture needles, ear seeds (magnetic or herbal seeds on a small piece of adhesive tape) or ear tacks (very small needles on adhesive tape) are used to stimulate these pressure points. Normal acupuncture needles are removed after treatment, whereas ear seeds or ear tacks are removed after several days or weeks.

Auricular acupuncture treats specific points to reduce sympathetic nerve activity, balance hormone levels, stimulate ovulation, relax the uterus and optimize endometrial receptivity.

It can be used as a standalone treatment at any stage of an IVF cycle.

What Our Clients Are Saying

''At a stressful time Emma helped me to relax in a calm and lovely setting with hypnotherapy. This was followed later with a fertility massage which I also found very relaxing and felt like taking a pro active step in my fertility journey. One month later I'm pregnant! I couldn't recommend Emma more highly and she wasn't the first therapist I'd tried." LL, Bristol 2018
