Fertility, Pregnancy & Postpartum
Supporting women through change, gently and respectfully
Who this is for
This support may be helpful if you are:​
-
Preparing for conception or on a fertility journey
-
Currently pregnant and wanting gentle, respectful support
-
Recently postpartum and feeling depleted, emotional, or in need of care
-
Wanting space to slow down and feel supported during a major life transition​
​
Fertility, pregnancy, and the postpartum period are times of profound physical, emotional, and energetic change. Many women seek acupuncture during these phases not because something is “wrong”, but because they want support, steadiness, and care that centres them as a whole person.
In clinic, I work with women across all stages of this journey — from those preparing for conception, to those navigating the physical and emotional shifts of pregnancy, through to the often-under-supported postpartum period.​
Acupuncture may be used to support overall wellbeing and balance during these phases. Sessions are always tailored to where you are at, what your body is asking for, and what feels appropriate for you at that time.
How acupuncture may support you
Women come in for support with things such as:
-
General wellbeing during fertility journeys
-
Physical and emotional wellbeing during fertility treatment pathways
-
Pregnancy-related discomforts such as nausea, fatigue, aches and pains, swelling, or changes in mood
-
Feeling more grounded and supported as the body adapts to pregnancy
-
Postpartum recovery, including low energy, emotional shifts, and adjusting to a new normal
​
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, sessions are responsive and gentle, with care taken to work safely and respectfully at each stage.
​
Acupuncture is a complementary service and should be used alongside medical advice and treatment from your GP or fertility specialist. Outcomes vary between individuals. Acupuncture does not guarantee specific results
Postpartum care: rebuilding and restoring
The postpartum period is a time of recovery and recalibration — physically, emotionally, and energetically. Many women feel pressure to “bounce back”, when what the body often needs most is rest, nourishment, and support.
​
Postpartum acupuncture sessions can focus on:
-
Supporting energy levels and recovery
-
Helping the body settle after birth
-
Creating space to pause, be held, and reset
-
​
Care during this phase is slow, supportive, and centred around what you need — not external expectations.

Suggested Appointment Options
Most people begin with an initial-style appointment (these are 75min or 90min), especially if this is a new focus or a new phase for you, then move on to follow up options either weekly, fortnightly, or monthly.
