- 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.

During our first session, I’ll take a deep dive into your medical history, stress levels, nutrition, and lifestyle. In TCM, every little detail matters, so I may ask about things like:
I also use Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostic tools — examining your tongue, taking your pulse, and sometimes gently palpating your abdomen — which give me additional information about patterns of imbalance in your body.
Treatment begins in the same session. I’ll explain what I’m doing as we go and adapt to your preferences — whether you prefer quiet relaxation, guided breathing, or a chat during treatment.
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.
Throughout your session, I’ll always prioritize your comfort and make sure you feel at ease. I’ll explain everything as we go and adapt to your preferences—whether you prefer quiet relaxation, guided breathwork, or a chat during treatment.
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:
For general health concerns, I usually recommend bi weekly or weekly sessions for the first 6-8 weeks, then spacing them out as things improve. For muscular issues, you may need less treatments. For fertility, a full cycle of egg development takes about 4 months, so we aim for weekly sessions during this time. For IVF, click here to see suggested schedule.Every plan is customized based on your needs and goals.
If you have relevant test results, letters from specialists or medical reports, please bring them. They help me build the best treatment plan for you. Wear comfortable, loose clothing so I can access your arms, legs and abdomen easily.
Yes. If additional testing or specialist support would be helpful, I’ll refer you to trusted practitioners in my network; reproductive immunologists, urologists, specialist sonographers and more. I don’t receive any financial incentives for referrals. My only goal is connecting you with the right people
This is very common. I’ll always go at your pace, start with fewer needles, and explain everything before I do it. I also use a breathing technique, which really helps reduce stress. Most people who are nervous beforehand are surprised by how comfortable and relaxing the experience actually is.
Yes, I will email you any further information required.
For fertility patients, after our session, I’ll send you a detailed report with tailored recommendations to help guide you on your journey, which will include:
✔️ A detailed acupuncture treatment plan
✔️ Recommended tests & specialist referrals
✔️ Lifestyle tips tailored to your needs
✔️ A discounted fertility supplement package
This report is yours to keep, so you can take your time absorbing the information and planning your next steps.
