About Me

Hi, I'm Ilana Garsin

I have been an acupuncturist for over 15 years and I work from my lovely garden clinic in the village of Bricket Wood, in St Albans, just 5 minutes from Radlett and easily accessible from the M25, M1, A414 and A405.

I am originally from Glasgow, but left over 30 years ago. 

Although  I work with patients with a variety of issues, I have a special interest in fertility, pregnancy and menopause.  

I know how confusing and stressful it is to be pushed from consultant to IVF clinic, trying to get answers as to why you aren’t posting your own baby photos on your social media account. 

I want to be your guide through your fertility journey, helping you to make the right informed decisions about how to proceed.

"Thank you so much for being part of my journey! "

During my fertility journey I was lucky to be able to work with Naava Carman, a fertility acupuncturist. This support was integral in my process and made me feel in control and supported. It was a definite factor in me getting pregnant and giving birth to my son. I ended up training with Naava and now I want to give this gift to you too.

So what tools do I use that will help you on your journey?

Knowledge

I keep informed on the most recent research and techniques in the fertility arena and consult with medical professionals regularly.

Evidence

I review your previous results and suggest tests that maybe missing from your fertility assessment such as microbiome, immune and sperm DNA fragmentation tests.

Guidance

I provide a report detailing treatment plans and lifestyle changes.  I refer you to the best consultant for your needs.

Support

I offer acupuncture treatment, guidance and emotional support to both partners. I offer a non judgment and safe environment.
