Gentle, evidence-informed fertility support just a short drive from Northallerton to my Middlesbrough acupuncture clinic.

Trying to conceive can feel like a constant cycle of hope, worry, frustration, and “what ifs. If you’re navigating symptoms, stress, irregular cycles, fertility investigations, or IVF, you’re not alone,  and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

I support many individuals and couples travelling from Northallerton, Romanby, Brompton, Thirsk, Bedale, and surrounding villages who want specialist, compassionate fertility acupuncture that looks at the whole person,  mind, body, and hormones.

At my award-winning Middlesbrough acupuncture clinic, you’ll find a safe space to breathe, reconnect with your body, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope.


Why Clients Travel From Northallerton For Fertility Acupuncture

When you invest your time, your heart, and your energy into trying to conceive, you want the right support,  not guesswork.

Clients choose to travel to me because they want:

 A specialist in fertility, IVF & reproductive acupuncture

Degree-level training, postgraduate fertility training, and extensive TCM experience.

 A structured, personalised plan — not one-off treatments

Every session follows your cycle, your IVF protocol, and your emotional needs.

 A calm, compassionate, supportive space

Somewhere you can exhale, process, and feel seen.

✔ An approach that blends modern knowledge with TCM wisdom

Hormones, emotions, blood flow, nervous system, stress levels — we work with your whole body.

✔ A clinic that understands how fertility truly feels

The highs. The lows. The uncertainty, and the quiet hope that never stops breathing inside you.

If you’re ready for a different kind of support, one that honours your body, your emotions, and your journey,  you’re in the right place.

What Is Fertility Acupuncture?

Fertility acupuncture uses ultra-fine needles to gently stimulate points that support:

  • Hormone regulation

  • Blood flow to the uterus & ovaries

  •  Ovulation and cycle regularity

  •  The nervous system (reducing stress & cortisol)

  •  Egg quality and lining health

  • Sperm health (motility, morphology, count)

  •  A calmer, more balanced internal environment for conception

From a TCM perspective, fertility challenges often arise when the flow of qi and blood becomes disrupted by stress, overwork, cold, emotional strain, digestive imbalance, or hormonal shifts. Acupuncture helps restore harmony, flow, and vitality so the body can do what it’s naturally designed to do.

How Fertility Acupuncture Supports Conception

Whether you’re trying naturally or with assisted conception, acupuncture may help:

1. Improve Uterine & Ovarian Blood Flow

Better blood flow supports follicular development, egg quality, lining thickness, and implantation.

2. Encourage Clear, Predictable Cycles

We support ovulation, luteal phase health, PMS symptoms, spotting, and irregular patterns.

3. Reduce Stress & Improve Nervous System Balance

Lower stress hormones = better fertility hormones. Women often report deeper sleep, calmer moods, and less overwhelm.

4. Support IVF, ICSI & IUI Treatment

Treatments are timed around stimulation, egg collection, embryo transfer, progesterone phase, and early pregnancy.

5. Enhance Sperm Health

Acupuncture may support motility, morphology, and count by reducing oxidative stress and improving testicular blood flow.

6. Support Emotional Wellbeing

Trying to conceive impacts the heart as much as the hormones .You’ll have space for both.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does fertility acupuncture work?

How effective is fertility acupuncture?
Research suggests fertility acupuncture may support natural conception and IVF by improving circulation, reducing stress, and helping regulate cycles. Results vary from person to person, and acupuncture should be seen as a complementary therapy alongside medical care.

Many clients choose weekly acupuncture, especially when preparing for IVF or trying to conceive naturally. Some notice changes after just two sessions, while others benefit most from several weeks of consistent treatment.
How long does it take for fertility acupuncture to work?
