Find out more about Acupuncture for Fertility and Hormone Health on my Instagram page

Acupuncture has become a bit of a buzz word when it comes to ticking the boxes to support your fertility.

As an acupuncturist, I think it is great, but I know it isn’t everything.

This is why I place a great level of importance on:

✨Seeing both of you - male fertility is often overlooked but vitally important.

✨Making sure you are taking good quality supplements and the right supplements, not just the latest trend.

✨Supporting you to get the answers you need so you can fix your problems and go on to have more pregnancies and births to achieve the family you originally set out to have.

The results come easily when you follow my process. This is why I speak to potential clients before we start working together, because I don’t want the way I work to be a surprise.

There will likely be costs for testing and supplements and you may find a new way of eating is more expensive. But I aim to do it all in a manageable and cost effective way for you.

If you are in your 30s or 40s and feeling lost or not sure what to do next on your fertility journey, my 4 Month Conception Reset package might be just what you need. Please feel free to DM me to find out more, or you can book a free 15 minute call using the link in my bio @valerie_salt_fertility

✨ Every now and then, when I feel stuck, this quote pops into my mind:

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got.”

And it’s so true, especially when it comes to fertility.

💫 I’m endlessly curious about the science of fertility and hormone health, it’s my passion and my purpose. I dive deep into both medical and natural approaches, because when we understand why things are happening in your body, that’s when we can make real, lasting change.

Sometimes, the smallest tweak creates a huge shift.
Other times, we dig deeper, uncovering what’s really going on and finding the right path forward.

🌱 So, where are you right now in your fertility journey?

Feeling stuck? Confused? Unsure what to try next?

Maybe it’s time to do something different, to finally change your path and open up new possibilities.

If you’re in your 30s or 40s and longing to feel in tune with your body again, my Four Month Conception Reset is designed to help you:
✨ Understand your unique situation
✨ Restore balance naturally or with the right medical interventions if necessary
✨ Create the best possible environment for conception

You don’t have to keep guessing or going it alone.

💬 DM me to find out more, or book a free 15-minute clarity call via the link in my bio @valerie_salt_fertility

❤️ You deserve a plan that works — and a body that feels really well.

This post is more for my colleagues around the country and those addressing health and fitness in perimenopause. Even coaches need coaches sometimes!

I wanted to take my fitness to the next level, and, I really don’t want to say this out loud, work on getting rid of some stubborn belly fat!

I had been trying for a while to eat according to the rules that worked for me in my late 20s and early 30s but nothing was changing. Perimenopause had gradually started to impact my ability to lose fat and I didn’t feel like I could do it alone.

I have been following Amy for a while and I have been interested in the way that she works, especially as I have a new found love for weights. I decided that the time was right to get some support and accountability!

One thing that has really surprised me, is the amount of support that Amy can give, even from a distance. From filming sets of reps for feedback, to messaging in an app and having guidance videos relating to lots of areas of fitness, hormone health and wellbeing, it has been a wonderful experience so far.

Working with @amybodytheory in The Female Formula has been a game changer for me. If you’re struggling with your body shape, hormones, or energy in your 40s, I can’t recommend her enough. Reach out if you’re curious - I’d be happy to connect you or talk about my experiences 💪 🏋🏻‍♀️😊

✨ Why investing in your health before IVF is priceless ✨

Last week, I spoke with a male fertility client who came in feeling confident that his side of the fertility equation was “fine.” But testing revealed multiple issues we needed to address.

With the right support, we uncovered not only fertility factors but also another health issue that his GP is now investigating. He told me something powerful:

💬 “I didn’t realise I didn’t feel well… I thought because I could keep going, I was ok. But now I know how much better I can feel.”

After simple but tailored changes—nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and targeted supplements—he feels lighter, healthier, more energised, and deeply optimistic about the path ahead.

This couple could have gone straight to private IVF (costing £5–10k+, with only a 30% chance of success). Instead, they chose to work with me to uncover and resolve the root causes of their struggles.

Now? They’re not only in a much better place for conception—they’re investing in long-term health and vitality.

🌿 My Four Month Conception Reset is designed exactly for this: giving you the clarity, support, and transformation you need to create the healthiest foundation for pregnancy.

If you want to feel your best while optimising your fertility, DM me today. Or, if you’re ready to take action, book a free 15-minute call through the link in my bio @valerie_salt_fertility 💫

✨ Sometimes life feels like you’re standing in front of a wall with no way through. ✨

I know that feeling deeply — when nothing seems to shift, when every option feels confusing, when you wonder if the answers even exist.

But often, it only takes one small spark — an instinct, a seed, a whisper — to show you the path forward.

Recently, I had this with my daughter. She was struggling at school, and I followed an inkling to reach out to another mum. That conversation opened a whole new world of possibility — and suddenly, what felt heavy and hopeless turned into excitement and hope again.

🌱 Fertility can feel the same way. Many of my clients come to me unsure what acupuncture really does, unaware of the hidden blocks that can be gently released, or even that there are powerful tests and natural shifts that doctors rarely explore.

And then… the seed gets planted. Clarity arrives. The path forward appears.

💌 In just the past few weeks, three of my past clients reached out to tell me they’re pregnant — two with their second babies. Once we’ve reset the root causes of fertility challenges, the body remembers how to conceive with more ease.

✨ This is what my 4-Month Conception Reset is all about: helping you clear what’s been in the way, nurture your body with the right support, and unlock the next chapter of your fertility story.

If you’re ready to plant that seed, DM me today to begin your reset. 💫

✨ Your GP wants the best for you — but the system can be slow, and advice isn’t always tailored to your unique body. That’s why so many women come to me when they’re ready for deeper, more personalised support on their fertility journey.

💊 For example, supplements like vitex can be powerful… but only when used correctly. Taken the wrong way, they can actually disrupt your hormones instead of helping them. The same goes for acupuncture — when it’s done with a true understanding of a woman’s cycle, it can gently bring your body back into balance. I’ve seen countless women shift to regular 28–33 day cycles, giving them more chances to conceive and a renewed sense of hope.

🌱 Your fertility is not one-size-fits-all. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

My Four Month Conception Reset is designed to help you move beyond confusion and conflicting advice — giving you clear, personalised guidance, natural treatments, and ongoing support so your body feels ready to welcome new life.

💫 If you’re feeling called to take action, DM me for details or book a free 15-minute clarity call via the link in my bio @valerie_salt_fertility.

It can feel pretty frustrating that a couple can only try to fall pregnant over the course of a few days each month.

But when you have long cycles, even at 45 days, it can mean that you have 9 attempts per year instead of 12.

That is a massive difference and makes the whole process seem even more laborious.

I have worked with many women with long cycles to get them down to a better length at around 29-34 days.

This change not only gives more chances to conceive per year, it also means your hormones are more balanced, you usually feel better in yourself and it is thought that egg quality is better as eggs have spent the right amount of time maturing before they are released.

If this is something you are struggling with, my combination of acupuncture, supplements, dietary and lifestyle advice work together to improve your cycle length.

If you are in your 30s or 40s and are feeling lost or not sure what to do next on your fertility journey, my Four Month Conception Reset might be just what you need. Please feel free to DM me to find out more. Or, if you are ready to take action and commit to your health and fertility with a treatment package, you can book a free 15 minute call using the link in my bio @valerie_salt_fertility

✨ 12 years ago, I was sitting in my GP’s office, feeling utterly defeated. Another negative pregnancy test. Another “your results are normal, just relax and book a holiday” suggestion.

On paper, my life looked great: 📊 Maths degree from Bristol University, a Chartered Tax Advisor career, a solid future. But inside? I was exhausted. Long hours, constant stress, and the weight of infertility left me drained.

Then, a friend mentioned acupuncture. Honestly, I didn’t even know what it was supposed to do, but I was willing to try.

My first surprise? The practitioner wanted my husband to come too.

My second? After a few sessions, I felt different: calmer, healthier, lighter. And around 9 months later… I conceived.

That experience changed everything. 🙌

I realised my career in tax wasn’t my future. I retrained as an acupuncturist, qualifying in 2017—just days before welcoming my second child (conceived without struggle this time).

Now, instead of working with numbers, I work with people. Men and women navigating fertility challenges. Parents-to-be. As well as those struggling with painful, frustrating hormone-related conditions.

My patients call me approachable, empathetic, gentle, and kind. It’s a privilege to walk alongside them. 💜

I know what it feels like to sit in that waiting room, holding hope in one hand and disappointment in the other. And I know how life-changing it is when something shifts, when your body finally feels like it’s working with you, not against you.

✨ If you’re on your own fertility or hormone journey, know you don’t have to face it alone. My door (and heart) is open — message me if you’d like to explore how acupuncture could support you. 💌
