- Bricket Wood, St Albans
Your appointment with me is designed to feel calm, supportive, and unrushed — a space where you can fully relax while your body receives the care it needs.
A treatment is much more than the placement of acupuncture needles. It is an opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life and allow your body and mind to enter a state of deep rest and restoration.
From the moment you arrive, every aspect of your experience is designed to soothe the senses, calm the nervous system, and create a space where healing can begin. As your body relaxes, stress softens, breathing deepens, and you are gently invited to reconnect with yourself.
Through warmth, comforting aromas, peaceful sounds, and a tranquil environment, your treatment becomes a sanctuary — a chance to pause, restore balance, and simply be.

For fertility patients, the initial consultation is 90 minutes and includes a detailed review of all previous test results and a written treatment plan sent after your appointment.

Fine acupuncture needles are gently inserted, with needle sizes chosen to maximise comfort. Along with acupuncture, I may use additional techniques to enhance your treatment, including:
