Specialist Support for Female & Male Fertility
Specialist Support for Female & Male Fertility
Fertility challenges affect approximately 1 in 6 couples worldwide, and the causes are often shared. Around 40% relate primarily to female factors, 40% to male factors, and approximately 20% remain unexplained.
Fertility is rarely simple - and it is never a personal failure.
I offer calm, informed, and personalised acupuncture support for individuals and couples navigating natural conception, assisted fertility treatment, or unexplained infertility. Fertility Acupuncture offers a calm, evidence-informed way to support your hormones, regulate your cycle, improve ovulation and bring your body back into balance so conception becomes more possible.
My Training & Professional Focus
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Fertility, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, deepening my clinical understanding of reproductive health from both a Traditional Chinese Medicine and biomedical perspective.
For three years, I worked as an associate to Jill Glover, whose long-standing specialism in women’s health has helped shape fertility acupuncture practice at the respected Alma Vale Centre in Bristol. This experience allows me to offer care that is:
- Clinically informed
- Holistic in perspective
- Sensitive to emotional complexity
- Integrated with modern fertility pathways
Female Fertility Support
Today, modern research suggests that acupuncture may support fertility by:
- Regulating menstrual cycles
- Improving ovulation timing (including anovulatory or delayed ovulation)
- Increasing blood flow to the uterus, ovaries and pelvis
- Supporting implantation and luteal phase health
- Reducing stress hormones that interfere with fertility
- Supporting sperm quality, motility and morphology
- Improving symptoms linked to PCOS, endometriosis and fibroids
- Complementing IVF, ICSI and IUI treatment protocols
I regularly work with:
- PCOS
- Endometriosis
- Irregular or painful cycles
- Low ovarian reserve
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Unexplained infertility
- Preparation for IVF or IUI
Every treatment is personalised. Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at your whole body, not just a single symptom, so we can create the best possible environment for conception. Treatment plans are carefully aligned with your menstrual cycle or assisted treatment schedule.
Male Fertility Support
Male factor contributes to approximately 40% of fertility challenges, yet it is often under-discussed. Acupuncture may support male reproductive health by:
- Encouraging healthy sperm production
- Supporting sperm motility and morphology
- Improving circulation
- Reducing oxidative stress
- Supporting overall vitality and stress regulation
- Sperm development follows a roughly 3-month cycle, which is why a consistent treatment plan during this window can be beneficial.
Male fertility support is discreet, focused, and entirely tailored to individual health history and test results.
Hear what my clients have to say...
“Lucy has been amazing, I have been having acupuncture for over a year now. My sperm quality has improved we even had a natural pregnancy last year which didn’t work out but showed there had been a change! Lucy explains what is happening throughout and what she is looking to achieve each session which helps me understand. Most men won’t want to talk publicly talk about these types of things but Lucy makes it easy and I hope other men can also open up about fertility as it effects men as well as women.”

Acupuncture & IVF
Acupuncture can be safely integrated alongside IVF and other assisted reproductive treatments.
Clients often choose acupuncture to:
- Prepare the body before a cycle
- Support stimulation phases
- Reduce anxiety around procedures
- Promote calm before embryo transfer
- Support recovery during the two-week wait
- Sessions are timed carefully around your medical treatment plan and can provide a steady anchor during what can feel like an intense process.
If you are trying to conceive, or preparing for IVF, acupuncture can be used in a more structured and targeted way to support you through each stage of the process.
This often involves working together over a number of weeks or months, with treatment carefully timed to your cycle or IVF protocol.

What to expect
Your first appointment includes a detailed consultation exploring:
- Menstrual history
- Medical investigations and test results
- Lifestyle factors
- Stress levels and sleep
- Digestive health
- Emotional wellbeing
Follow-up sessions are unhurried and dedicated entirely to you. I see one client at a time, ensuring a calm, confidential space.
Where appropriate, treatment over approximately 2–3 months may be recommended, reflecting the biological maturation cycle of eggs and sperm.
A Steady and Compassionate Space
Fertility journeys can feel clinical, pressured, and emotionally heavy. My role is to offer grounded, knowledgeable support – helping you feel informed, calm, and cared for at each stage.
