FERTILITY SUPPORT WITH ACUPUNCTURE
Struggling with fertility can be emotionally and physically challenging. Vanessa Acupuncture offers a natural, supportive approach to fertility for both women and men through traditional acupuncture. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or undergoing assisted reproductive treatments like IVF or IUI, acupuncture can be a powerful ally in improving reproductive health and enhancing the chances of conception.
How Acupuncture Supports Female Fertility
Acupuncture works by improving the body’s overall balance and enhancing blood flow to the reproductive organs. It helps regulate hormones, reduce stress, and support the menstrual cycle—key factors that contribute to successful conception.
Benefits of acupuncture for women include:
- Regulating menstrual cycles and encouraging healthy ovulation
- Improving egg quality by increasing blood flow to the ovaries
- Enhancing uterine lining thickness, which can improve embryo implantation
- Reducing stress and anxiety, which are known to affect fertility
- Supporting assisted fertility treatments, such as IVF and IUI
Regular acupuncture treatments can also help address conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and unexplained infertility.
Male Fertility and Acupuncture
Male fertility challenges are just as common and equally important. Acupuncture can help improve sperm quality, motility, and count by supporting circulation and hormonal balance.
Benefits of acupuncture for men include:
- Improving sperm count and motility
- Enhancing overall sperm quality and morphology
- Supporting testosterone levels
- Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress that can affect sperm DNA
By addressing underlying imbalances, acupuncture contributes to improved reproductive outcomes for both partners.
What to Expect at Vanessa Acupuncture
At Vanessa Acupuncture, every treatment plan is tailored to the individual. Vanessa uses Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, combining acupuncture with lifestyle and dietary recommendations to create a holistic approach to fertility support.
Your treatment may include:
- Fine needle acupuncture to stimulate key energy points and enhance fertility
- Moxibustion (gentle heat therapy) to improve circulation and support reproductive health
- Nutrition and lifestyle guidance tailored to your fertility goals
- Support for IVF or IUI cycles, with carefully timed acupuncture sessions
Each session is designed to be calming and restorative, with an emphasis on building health from the inside out.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions depends on your individual circumstances. Many clients begin with weekly treatments for 8 to 12 weeks, as this timeframe allows the body to adjust and respond to the therapy. For those undergoing IVF, acupuncture is often recommended starting at least 2–3 months prior to egg retrieval and continuing through embryo transfer and early pregnancy support.
Fertility Success Rates and Research
Scientific research continues to support the role of acupuncture in improving fertility outcomes:
- A study published in Fertility and Sterility found that acupuncture increased the success rate of IVF by 26% when used alongside conventional treatment.
- Research in the Journal of Chinese Medicine found that women receiving acupuncture during IVF had a 65% higher success rate compared to those who did not.
- A 2015 study in the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies showed a 20–30% improvement in sperm count and motility in men following acupuncture treatment.
These studies highlight the potential of acupuncture to support natural conception and increase the effectiveness of fertility treatments.

Dedicated, persistent and empathetic
I came to her not expecting much escape from a hefty affliction of osteo-arthritis. Yet, after just three very relaxing treatments, I am very nearly back to those heady days before the visitations of crippling pain and the resultant having to waddle around like a penguin.
Vanessa has achieved, in such a short space of time, what two highly paid medical consultants failed miserably to attain. If you have any doubts whatsoever put them aside now. Lucky you to have discovered Vanessa.

Symptoms improved dramatically
Vanessa treated me over a number of weeks for hormonal related issues. She is incredibly personable, understanding, and a great listener. My symptoms improved dramatically and she has taught me a lot about the way my body works. I wish we lived closer so that I could continue having treatments every week!

Dry, irritating cough
When I had acupuncture with Vanessa, I told her about my medical conditions, in particular about the dry, irritating cough I had suffered with for over five months due to acid reflux. My GP had suggested using the inhaler & taking medication which I have done for several months but the situation hasn’t gone away sadly. Vanessa decided to use some points in my jaw line & that did wonders. For five days, I did not cough at all! It was a miracle! The cough has returned but it is not a whole day of coughing anymore, just couple of times a day. I will continue with this treatment as I’m benefiting greatly. Thank you Vanessa!

Very well experienced
I started my acupuncture treatment with Vanessa five weeks ago and instantly felt a great connection with her. I loved going to my sessions even though i hate needles because she makes it so worthwhile. She was able to gather all the information and treat me accordingly and I just feel like myself again after a few sessions. Vanessa is very well experienced with patients and just has a lovely radiant energy about her.
Nazia Khatun
Highly recommended!
Vanessa is a wonderful therapist. She actually listens and creates a treatment plan based on what it is you want. Lovely treatment room, very relaxed treatment sessions. After having a rough acupuncture session many years ago I was quite unsure about trying again. Vanessa’s approach was very reassuring, everything was explained before treatment started and she is a wonderful practitioner. Highly recommended.

Chronic Back Pain
I’ve had chronic back pain for years but, more recently, it has got much worse. I decided to try acupuncture but did not expect to see an improvement after only two sessions. Vanessa is thorough and professional but also puts you at your ease the moment to walk into her lovely treatment space. Her approach is very specific to your needs and, in my third session, she was also able to treat a muscle I had pulled that morning with some addition cupping and heat treatment, alongside acupuncture. She has advised me about dietary changes to balance my Qi and has me practicing Qigong, which I really enjoy. I look forward to each session and the changes I will enjoy as a result. Worth every penny.

Wonderful experience
I had such a wonderful experience with Vanessa at her acupuncture practice! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly so you understand the treatment process and how it benefits your health. Vanessa has a calm, welcoming demeanour that immediately puts you at ease, and her holistic approach shows how she cares for her patients. I always leave my sessions feeling more relaxed, balanced, and confident in my well-being. I highly recommend Vanessa to anyone seeking acupuncture!
