Prepare your body for conception and pregnancy
Whether you’ve just started trying for a baby or have been on this journey for a while, it’s crucial to prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy and support your future baby’s well-being.

Preparing for Pregnancy (4-month programme) £1800
How my 4-mth programme works?
There is no need to be fearful or frustrated, together we will find the right solutions you need using a powerful combination of Acupuncture to balance and regulate your hormones, 3 Key Functional Tests to remove any guesswork around issues impacting fertility and preventing a healthy pregnancy. Then we integrate Nutrition using diet, lifestyle and key supplements to optimise your egg health and prepare your endometrial lining for pregnancy.
Utalising comprehensive blood analysis
This is essential for investigating fertility issues and overall health imbalances. Analysing your blood chemistry allows identification of potential imbalances in your nutrient levels, hormone regulation, and metabolic function.
The results are used to develop a personalised plan to address underlying imbalances and optimise your fertility.
Nutrigenomics: understanding your genetic traits
This is the study of how your genes interact with your diet and environment to influence your health. Analysing your genetic profile, allows understanding of potential nutrient deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, and genetic predispositions that may be impacting your fertility and overall health.
By integrating nutrigenomics patients can make informed dietary and supplement choices.
Vaginal Microbiome: intimate ecology
The vaginal microbiome is a complex ecosystem that plays a crucial role in your reproductive health. An imbalance of the vaginal microbiome, also known as dysbiosis, has been linked to various health issues, including infertility, miscarriage, and preterm labour.
By identifying barriers to reduced fertility and a healthy pregnancy, you can restore this delicate environment and promoting optimal reproductive health.
Why these tests matter. . .
These functional tests offer a unique window into your body’s intricate systems, providing valuable insights into your fertility and women’s health. Results are combined and used to develop a comprehensive fertility plan that addresses the root causes of fertility imbalances and barriers.
This approach has been shown to improve fertility outcomes, support a healthy pregnancy and promote overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started on the programme?
Step 1 – After your full payment is made, you are invited to an online portal to complete the necessary paperwork, book your initial consultation and your remaining block of regular Acupuncture treatments. By arrangement an initial payment of £800 can be made, and then 2 x further payments of £500 paid at the start of the following 2 months.
Step 2 – Your functional test kits are ordered and sent to your home address for you to complete and return to the laboratory. Your blood test is booked for a particular day during your menstrual cycle. The phlebotomy cost is included if completed in my Inverness clinic, if not, additional phlebotomy charges will apply.
Step 3 – During your initial consultation and Acupuncture treatment, we discuss and create your personalised treatment plan, and these are refined using you functional test results when we receive them. Fertility and pregnancy supplements are reviewed and updated based on your test results.
Step 4 – During the next 4-months, your treatment plan and treatment sessions are reviewed and updated to boost and optimise your fertility levels and future pregnancy.
Are we a good fit to work together?
I work with male and female couples, same sex couples and women planning parenthood on their own. If you are ready to work on your health and make the changes needed to maximise your fertility, I am here to help you.
Although I can’t guarantee your pregnancy, I commit to completely supporting your fertility journey. I support you to be accountable for your health, stay motivated and make manageable changes by prioritising what needs done. In turn, you will commit to regular Acupuncture treatments, interwoven with diet and lifestyle changes to support treatment.
Fertility takes two, what about my partner?
When a male is involved in the fertility journey, his involvement is key. I expect both partners to attend the initial consultation. Working with your partner ensures both general health and sperm health are optimised before conception (or sperm collection if undergoing IVF). Male fertility testing and treatment are necessary, this must be done in conjunction with supporting female fertility. It is usual for me to work with both partners for 3 months before planned conception.
What if I am pregnant before I finish the programme?
After Preparing for Pregnancy completes patients can move to a maintenance plan. If a positive pregnancy occurs within the 4-month programme, any remaining sessions are allocated to the first trimester of pregnancy where Acupuncture and Nutrition are both safe and effective.
I can’t afford to pay as a lump sum, can I still book and start?
The cost of the programme works out at under £500 per month over 4 months, this equates to around £100 per session for combined Acupuncture and Nutrition. I understand paying in full for this can be challenging. The initial payment of £800 covers the cost of the functional tests, interpretation and analysis. Contact me to discuss paying the remaining balance in regular installments.
