“I’m now 21 weeks pregnant and so happy to get success with our first embryo transfer, as it had already been a long journey to get to that point. I would recommend acupuncture with Valerie to anyone going through fertility struggles to get the mind and body as ready as you can whether trying naturally or with fertility treatments.

After a couple of months, I was ready for the transfer, and the nurse said my uterine lining looked top quality. Valerie went out of her way to provide acupuncture before and after the transfer, which was midday on a Sunday. It gave me a lot of reassurance and was really helpful to help me relax after the stress of the transfer, as well as having someone knowledgeable to talk to.”

“I feel good, thanks. I’ve slept a lot since – I was awake in the night but not for long and slept in quite late today.

I feel refreshed, and my head feels clearer than it has for a few weeks.”

The acupuncture itself is relaxing and a time when I would really switch off and rest, which was something I really needed.

Just a big thank you for all your help and guidance as I truly believe this wouldn’t have happened for us so quickly without your help.

I came to see Valerie in November 2020 after years of infertility and baby loss.
After a few sessions in 2020 and following nutrition and lifestyle advice, I got pregnant with my daughter who is now 20 months old! I continued to have acupuncture during my pregnancy and to help induce labour at 40 weeks. In late 2022 I was told by my fertility consultant that my AMH levels had reduced even more than before. So I booked an appointment with Valerie to discuss trying for another baby. After two sessions, I got pregnant again and currently 16 weeks pregnant. I’m still having monthly appointments to help with pregnancy symptoms and general well-being.
Valerie is so calm and empathetic, so easy to talk to and has such a wealth of knowledge. She’s helped us grow our family and I’m beyond grateful for all her support.
I just want to say a massive thank you! I’m so grateful for all your support and help getting me pregnant, twice! I cannot recommend Valerie and Fertility acupuncture enough if you’re trying to get pregnant.

I’d had several failed rounds of fertility treatment and several pregnancy losses. I felt deflated, frustrated, confused and very unsure about where to turn. After a really successful round of IVF in April 2023 having started acupuncture with Valerie in August 2022, obtaining four top quality embryos. The third embryo transfer worked and I am now 17 weeks pregnant.

I genuinely believe I would not have made it here without Valerie’s expert support and advice. The fertility journey was long and very hard, but I feel positive about it, as it led me to my rainbow baby.

Just a huge thank you!

“I suffered from morning sickness. None of the usual stuff worked, but it was definitely better after my sessions”
