What My Clients Say

There’s no better evidence than other people’s experience.

Just a little note to say a huge thank you for everything you did for me. If I hadn’t had your help support and knowledge to help me on our journey, I really don't think we would have our beautiful little miracle. Forever grateful, and wonderful to have got to know you. With lots of love.

I don't think thank you is enough, but I wanted you to know how grateful I am for everything you've done for me on the journey to meet our son. You provided so much emotional support alongside your amazing fertility expertise. I would love to see you soon.

A note of huge thanks to you for all the acupuncture support. Also for the chats and your belief in me. I hugely valued that time with you and clearly it helped massively with the delivery!

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated all you did the week before the birth of my son. Thank you so much, not only for the amazing acupuncture but also for your nurturing and calming support. Many, many thanks and love.

It’s hard to put into words, just how much my sessions with Anne have helped me. When we first started speaking in November, I was at rock bottom and my fertility journey had taken over every aspect of my life and happiness. As soon as I began Freedom Fertility Coaching, everything changed - I am happier, stronger, more calm, positive and far more able to face the journey ahead. Despite living 172 miles away, it felt like no distance at all and our FaceTime/ conference call meetings were a real lifeline. It was as if I was transported from my London apartment to Anne’s practice in York, with all the comforts of being cuddled up at home during these private sessions.

Anne treated me throughout the winter and spring for chronic migraine with acupuncture which worked brilliantly for me. She's also a fertility, pregnancy and birth specialist who sees great results from acupuncture and hypnobirthing and has been a great support to me emotionally and physically.

I had 4 sessions of acupuncture with Anne and cannot recommend highly enough. I had zero expectations of any help but decided to try acupuncture due to perimenapause symptoms- hot flushes and a chaotic cycle. After the first treatment I noticed a reduction in hotness and after all four treatments my cycle was back to a 4 weekly pattern which helped me manage my expectations e.g not drinking alcohol when my period was happening.

I went to Anne because I had long standing pain in both my knees which was impacting on my day to day living. Anne treated me with acupuncture and over a period of four weeks she managed to get me almost pain free! My sleeping has improved and I can enjoy walking the dogs again. I would not hesitate to recommend Anne, she is kind, professional, caring and goes above and beyond to help find the right combination of treatments. Nothing is too much trouble and you will leave feeling that you have had the best care possible!

Just a little note to say a HUGE big THANK YOU! I really couldn't have got myself to this point without you. We are both so grateful, and looking ahead now to the next adventure!

We just wanted to say a very big thank you for all the support you've given us as a family over the last eight weeks. It's been a strange time to be pregnant and have a baby, so it's been a real privilege to have you join this part of the journey and to take out some of the uncertainty that we were facing. We really couldn't have asked for a better birth experience, and part of that is to do with how you were with the rest of the family too. From talking about the placenta and helping with jigsaws! Thank you for the calm and positive approach that you brought with you, and for helping us have such a special home birth.

I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for all the help, support and good guidance that you continue to provide for our daughter and son-in-law. You have kept them grounded and you are a real lifeline for us all.

Thank you so much for your amazing support through the end of my pregnancy, home birth and aftercare. The continuity of your care made such a wonderful difference, plus your friendly and caring nature has made everything seem so easy! Your support on the day made my moments of doubt fade away as you were so calmly and confidently reassuring. Thank you again!

Just wanted to say thank you so much for all that you have done for me these last few weeks. It has been really great to have someone who's listened to me and respected my decisions. Giving birth at home with fantastic supportive midwives is one of the best things that I've ever done! Thank you.

We just wanted to say a big thank you. We will never forget you and what you did for us that morning. We think you're amazing! So much love from us all.

You saw me for unstable lie, when I was feeling pressure to become an inpatient towards the end of my pregnancy. You set my mind at ease and I found our conversation and the treatment really valuable. My baby arrived after a beautiful brief labour. He was in a great position and made an easy entrance into the world. You helped to make those last weeks easier and gave me the peace and strength I needed to trust him to settle into a position when he was ready to.

Hi Anne Our baby turned overnight after using the moxa!

No need for ECV as baby had turned naturally! So pleased we waited and thank you for your help.

He turned up ‘bang on his due date’ and very speedily! All going well and we are settling in to new routines.

Got a question?

Fertility Acupuncture York FAQs

What is fertility acupuncture, and how can it help me conceive?

Fertility acupuncture is a holistic therapy that involves inserting fine needles at specific points on the body to balance hormones, regulate menstrual cycles, and improve blood flow to reproductive organs. This approach can enhance reproductive health and may increase your chances of conceiving naturally or alongside assisted reproductive treatments like IVF.

How many acupuncture sessions will I need before seeing results?

The number of sessions varies for each individual, as every person’s journey is unique. Generally, it’s beneficial to start acupuncture treatments at least three months before trying to conceive or beginning an IVF cycle. During our initial consultation, we can create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Can acupuncture be used alongside IVF treatments?

Yes, acupuncture can complement IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies. It may help reduce stress, improve blood flow to the uterus, and enhance overall well-being, potentially improving IVF success rates. Ideally, acupuncture treatments should begin three months prior to starting your IVF cycle.

Do you offer support after pregnancy loss?

Absolutely. I provide compassionate acupuncture and coaching support for those who have experienced pregnancy loss at any stage. My aim is to offer a safe and nurturing environment to help you heal physically and emotionally during this difficult time.
