My Services
I offer face-to-face acupuncture services in Perth- supporting women through fertility and pregnancy.
My approach combines evidence-informed protocols for preconception care, fertility support, pregnancy symptom relief and postpartum recovery with individualized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. Services include initial consultations, ongoing treatments and guided self-care between sessions
My Interests
-
I love providing a space where women can come in during any point of their pregnancy to fill their cup up again. Being pregnant isn’t always easy, so I want to try alleviate some of the issues that can crop up during this time. We can address physical or the emotional aspects of pregnancy- it’s a safe space I hold for women and I genuinely love this work.
-
Whether you are on your journey to start trying or already have been and want to include acupuncture- I am here to support you at all stages of fertility and pregnancy.
-
During IVF- fertility clinics often recommend women have acupuncture alongside to support the process. Recommended sessions are weekly until you are at a stage where you feel safe and happy in your pregnancy.
-
I host workshops called Preparing for Postpartum where I teach couples and mothers how to create the most nurturing time for their postpartum. I understand getting out to have acupuncture can be a little challenging , so we include lots of options where you can stay home to nurture your body or find support close by.
Fertility + IVF Support
Whether you want to fall pregnant naturally or undergo IVF -acupuncture can be a helpful, evidence-informed support while trying to conceive, helping to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce stress, improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, and support hormonal balance; when combined with lifestyle measures and conventional fertility care it can enhance wellbeing and may improve treatment outcomes such as ovulation regularity and response to assisted reproductive technologies.
-
We are looking at creating balance within the body, and optimising blood flow to the uterus and ovaries in preparation for conception. Weekly acupuncture is ideal and it’s a truly relaxing part of your week where you lay down and truly rest.
Very fine needles will be popped into your hands, feet, legs, abdomen and head. -
My recommendation is to aim for weekly appointments. Ideally you would start 12 weeks before you either go for egg retrieval or want to try conceive naturally. Each session is about 50 minutes long, but you will feel totally relaxed by the end of it.
-
The Initial Consultation and Acupuncture is $150, and then follow up appointments are $110. If you have private health insurance you may be able to claim a portion of that back directly with your insurer.
Labour Preparation
Weekly treatments in the final weeks of pregnancy are designed to help prepare your body for labour — supporting cervical ripening, encouraging optimal baby positioning, and helping your body move into labour more efficiently.
-
From 35 weeks onwards, I recommend having weekly appointments in the lead up to labour. Each appointment will go for 50 -60 minutes and you will feel totally relaxed by the end of each session.
-
I will ask you a number of questions to see what’s going on for you health wise, and then use points specific to your needs. We will talk about your postpartum plans and find some ways to make it a smooth, happy and nourished experience for you.
-
Each session is $110 and you may be able to claim a portion of that back if you have private health insurance that covers acupuncture.
Postpartum Recovery
Support your recovery after birth with treatments focused on replenishing energy, supporting emotional wellbeing, regulating hormones, and assisting with breastfeeding where needed.
Don’t forget to register your interest or book your place for the Planning for Postpartum workshop prior to babies arrival.
Details
-
Payment is required at the time of your appointment and a receipt will be issued for you right away that you can upload or send to your private health insurer. They will then submit your rebate directly to your bank account. I am registered with all private health funds within Australia.
-
Whilst I prefer to work on a weekly basis for at least 3 months to see significant benefits, I do accept one-off sessions availability permitted.
-
No- it’s so gentle and relaxing. I personally don’t love needles and I’m super sensitive to acupuncture too- so I make sure that I am really gentle with your session. Your relaxation is my ultimate goal for each session.
-
Your acupuncture session are held at Vitality House in West Leederville. It’s an absolutely stunning space, and I can’t wait for you to see it. They run yoga, pilates and gentle breath work classes in the studio- all activities I highly recommend.
Sometimes Google maps will direct you to the very back of the building (no idea why) but the entry is on Southport Street. All you need to do is ring the door bell and someone will let you in. The wellness area is all located downstairs where you will find me. -
Ideally if you can wear loose fitting pants/ skirt and a top that would be brilliant. I pop needles in around the feet, ankles, knees, sometimes the belly, arms, wrists, hands, head or face.
-
You could but I prefer you don’t. Ideally afterwards I just want t you to stay in that state or rest and digest, without stressing your nervous system again. If you are going to yin yoga- that’s totally okay.
If you need to go back to work, that’s totally okay too. You’ll be very relaxed afterwards and able to think clearer.
