Fertility Support
Supporting You On Your Fertility Journey
Infertility is defined as when a couple has not conceived after 12 months of trying. It affects around 15 in every 100 Australian couples of reproductive age (Healthdirect.gov 2016). There are many possible contributing factors, and for some couples no clear cause is identified.
Preparing for conception can be an emotional and transformative time. Whether you’re planning to conceive naturally or undergoing fertility treatments such as IVF, many couples look to seek holistic and complementary approaches to support their wellbeing and sense of balance throughout the process.
At Acupuncture & Beauty Centre, Eli provides gentle, supportive care using Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, acupuncture, nutrition and lifestyle guidance. These sessions are designed to help you feel calm, grounded, and aligned as you move through your fertility journey with positivity.
A Holistic and Complementary Approach
Eli’s approach integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine, lifestyle and nutritional guidance, and mind-body techniques such as NLP, hypnotherapy, and energy alignment. Each session is personalised to your unique circumstances and goals, with a focus on creating harmony between body, mind, and spirit.
Many clients describe their sessions as deeply relaxing and nurturing, helping them reconnect with their body and feel more empowered during their fertility journey.
Acupuncture and IVF Support
Over the past decade, researchers have worked to improve the success rates of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Our fertility support services are complementary in nature and can be used alongside medical or assisted reproductive treatments. We encourage clients to maintain regular communication with their fertility specialists, GP, or healthcare team for ongoing medical advice and monitoring.
Several clinical trials have discovered that IVF acupuncture works well alongside ART, increasing the success rates of women who are undergoing IVF treatment. “Although earlier systematic reviews found that evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture used to support IVF or other assisted reproductive technology was “unclear”, a more recent systematic review (Qian. Y, et al 2017) found that “Based on an analysis of the studies, acupuncture improves the CPR [clinical pregnancy rate] among women undergoing IVF.”
Your initial consultation includes a detailed discussion of your health history, lifestyle, and goals. Together, we’ll create a personalised plan that aligns with your current stage of pregnancy preparation or treatment, focusing on balance and self-care.
Fertility challenges can bring stress, self-doubt, and emotional fatigue. Coaching sessions with Eli may include tools from NLP and hypnosis to support emotional balance, self-belief, and relaxation. These approaches are designed to help you feel centred and supported, wherever you are on your journey.
Its important to note that fertility outcomes depend on many complex factors. Acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and complementary therapie are a supportive adjunct and results vary depending on individual circumstances.
These services are intended as supportive preconception care.
Additionally, many fertility practitioners recommend acupuncture as an adjunct treatment that may assist and complement IVF treatment. There is continuing research about how acupuncture can assist with the effectiveness of IVF treatment.
