Free Training - 3 Powerful Acupressure Points to Boost Your Fertility

SAVE this for when you feel overwhelmed.

Du 20 sits right at the top of your head draw an imaginary line from the tip of each ear straight up to the crown. Where they meet, that’s your point.

In TCM this point lifts the spirit, clears the mind and has a powerful calming effect on the nervous system. I use it with clients who are anxious, overthinking or carrying tension they can’t seem to put down.

When your nervous system is calmer:

😮‍💨 Hormones communicate more effectively
😮‍💨 Progesterone is easier to sustain
😮‍💨 Sleep improves
😮‍💨 Ovulation becomes more predictable

How to use it:
Press firmly with your fingertip or acupressure pen. Use gentle circles or steady pressure for 60 to 90 seconds. Breathe slowly.

Do this when you feel overwhelmed, anxious or wired. Morning or evening - both work well.

Comment PEN and I’ll send you my discount code for the acupressurea pen I use. ✨

If your nervous system is on the edge, you might notice...

🙋🏻‍♀️Your cycles are irregular but every blood test comes back normal. Nothing is technically wrong but something clearly is and the nervous system is often the missing piece nobody has looked at.

🙋🏻‍♀️You ovulate but your luteal phase is awful. Mood crashes, poor sleep, anxiety that hits out of nowhere after ovulation. That’s not just hormones - that’s a nervous system that can’t shift out of stress mode.

🙋🏻‍♀️Your period arrives with a wave of dread. Not just cramps - actual anxiety or emotional heaviness the day before or the day it arrives.

🙋🏻‍♀️You feel wired but exhausted most of the time. You can’t switch off but you’re running on empty. Your body is stuck in survival mode and reproduction is not a priority when that’s happening.

🙋🏻‍♀️You’ve tried everything and nothing is sticking. More supplements, more tracking, more information. Because without addressing the nervous system underneath - nothing lands the way it should.

This is what I work on in clinic and it’s where acupressure can make a real difference at home - because you can work on it daily, in minutes.

The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year. For thousands of years, people have recognised it as a turning point in nature, a reminder that everything moves in cycles.

The seasons change. The tides change. Day becomes night and then day again.

Yet so many of us expect ourselves to have the same energy, motivation and capacity every single day, and often judge ourselves when we don’t.

One of the things I love most about Chinese medicine is that it reminds us we’re part of nature, not separate from it.

Perhaps the goal isn’t to feel the same all the time.

Perhaps it’s understanding your own rhythms a little better.

Happy Summer Solstice ☀️

And if your own cycle has felt anything but steady lately - that’s exactly what The Regulated Cycle Plan is built for. A simple, structured way to work with your body’s rhythm instead of against it. Comment CYCLE10 and I’ll send you the link.

📅 Most women think ovulation is the goal.

You get a positive ovulation test.

You confirm ovulation.

Job done.

But in my clinic, that’s not how I look at it.

Because not all ovulation is created equal.

Ovulation is the event that sets up the entire second half of your cycle.

A healthy ovulation should lead to healthy progesterone production.

And progesterone influences everything from PMS and sleep to cycle stability and fertility.

This is why some women are ovulating every month and still experiencing:
• spotting before their period
• PMS
• poor sleep
• a short luteal phase
• difficulty conceiving

So instead of asking:

“Am I ovulating?”

A better question might be:

“How well is my body supporting ovulation?”

My free 15-minute acupressure training covers 3 of the points I use most in my clinic to support exactly this - comment POINT below and I’ll send it straight to you. 👇👇

One of the most common things I hear in clinic is:

“It’s only a little bit of spotting.”

And often, that’s exactly why it gets overlooked.

Brown spotting before a period is incredibly common, but that doesn’t automatically mean it’s something we should ignore.

In many cases, it’s a sign that progesterone may be dropping earlier than it should, causing the uterine lining to start breaking down before your period has properly arrived.

If you’re trying to conceive, this can matter because progesterone plays an important role in supporting implantation.

But even if pregnancy isn’t your goal, it still matters.

Progesterone influences mood, sleep, PMS and how you feel during the second half of your cycle, which is why spotting can sometimes be a useful clue that your body needs a little more support.

This doesn’t mean spotting is something to panic about.

But it is something to listen to.

Your cycle is often telling you more than you realise.

If you’d like support for spotting, PMS, short luteal phases or low progesterone, The Regulated Cycle Plan includes the exact acupressure points I use to support each phase of the cycle.

One thing I’ve learnt over the years is that most women aren’t looking for someone to fix them.

They’re looking for someone to help them make sense of what’s happening.

Whether that’s a cycle that suddenly feels different, fertility struggles that don’t have straightforward answers, or symptoms that have been dismissed for years.

I think that’s why I love this work so much.

Not because I have all the answers, but because I get to sit alongside women while they figure out what their body is trying to tell them.

And honestly, that’s a privilege I’ll never take for granted.

I’d love to know — what brought you here in the first place?

Hormones, fertility, peri-menopause or something else?

A famous podcaster said two glasses of wine ruined three days of his life this week - because his tracker told him he was compromised.

Half the internet laughed.

Half quietly recognised exactly what he was describing.

And I think that second half is worth paying attention to.

Because in my world, women aren’t tracking wine. They’re tracking ovulation, cycle days, cortisol windows and sleep scores. Waking up and checking an app before they’ve made a cup of tea. Lying awake wondering if they missed their window - which creates the stress that suppresses the hormones they’re trying to support.

The tracker doesn’t measure that part.

In traditional Chinese Medicine we’ve understood this for thousands of years. When the nervous system is under pressure, the body deprioritises reproduction. It’s not a flaw - it’s a protective response.

And no app can track your way out of it.

More information is not the same as more understanding.

The women I see making the most meaningful shifts to their cycles aren’t doing the most. They’re doing the right things consistently - without the noise.

If you’re overwhelmed by everything you think you should be doing, it might be time to simplify rather than add.

This is one of my favourite points for supporting the second half of the cycle.

Most women focus on ovulation.

I often focus on what happens afterwards.

Because the second half of your cycle is where progesterone rises, the uterine lining is maintained and your body creates the conditions needed for a healthy, balanced cycle.

This is one of my favourite acupressure points for supporting that phase.

It’s called Kidney 3.

Place your finger on your inner ankle bone and slide it backwards towards your Achilles tendon. You’ll feel a small hollow - that’s Kidney 3.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this point is associated with the Kidney system, which plays an important role in reproductive health, hormone balance and cycle regulation.

I often include it when supporting women who experience:

• Spotting before their period
• Shorter cycles
• Low progesterone patterns
• Fertility challenges

Use gentle pressure or small circles for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Simple. Gentle. Easy to do at home.

A short luteal phase can be a progesterone problem This is the acupressure point I use most

If your luteal phase (the second half of your cycle) is shorter than 10 days, your body may not have enough time to build and sustain progesterone properly - and that matters whether you’re trying to conceive or simply want a cycle that feels more stable.

Spleen 6 is one of the acupressure points I use most in clinic to support the second half of the cycle.

In Chinese medicine, it’s a powerful point for supporting hormones, circulation and overall cycle regulation, which is why I use it so often for women with shorter luteal phases.

You’ll find it four finger widths above your inner ankle bone, just behind the shin bone.

Apply firm, comfortable pressure for 60–90 seconds on each leg.

I typically recommend using it daily from ovulation until your period arrives.

Simple. Consistent. Effective.

If you’d like a full acupressure plan built around your cycle, including specific support for the luteal phase, The Regulated Cycle Plan is a great place to start.

It’s normally £47, but you can use code RCP25 at checkout to get it for £22.

This point is called Yintang, sometimes known as the “calm mind” point.

You’ll find it between your eyebrows, just above the bridge of your nose.

Using gentle pressure or small circles for 1-2 minutes can help calm the nervous system and encourage your body to move out of fight-or-flight mode.

I often recommend it to women who are:
• struggling to switch off at night
• feeling stressed or anxious
• experiencing PMS-related irritability
• feeling overwhelmed by fertility treatment or trying to conceive

Simple. Gentle. Effective.

Save this for later and let me know if you try it.

One of the most common things I hear in clinic is:

“My period arrives almost as soon as I’ve ovulated.”

Or:

“I spot for days before my period starts.”

Many women assume this is just how their cycle is.

But often it’s a sign that the luteal phase - the second half of the cycle - isn’t being sustained for as long as it should be.

And many women have never even heard of the luteal phase.

Yet it’s one of the most important phases of your cycle.

It’s the time between ovulation and your period, when progesterone rises and your body shifts into the second half of the menstrual cycle.

When that phase is shorter than it should be, it can show up in different ways.

For some women, it’s difficulty conceiving.

For others, it’s spotting before a period, worsening PMS, poor sleep, anxiety before menstruation or simply feeling unlike themselves after ovulation.

That’s why I never look at a short luteal phase as just a fertility issue.

It’s often a clue that your body may need more support during the second half of your cycle.

In clinic, one of the points I use most often for this is Spleen 6, but supporting one phase in isolation only gets you so far.

The women who see the biggest changes are usually supporting their cycle as a whole.

That’s exactly why I created The Regulated Cycle Plan - a simple acupressure programme designed to support all four phases of your cycle.

People often assume that because I work in women’s health, I must have some secret routine or complicated wellness protocol.

The truth is much less exciting.

Most of the things that make the biggest difference to how I feel are simple and fairly unremarkable. Walking. Getting outside. Prioritising sleep. Taking time to properly switch off. Spending time with people I love. Doing small things consistently rather than looking for the next thing to fix me.

As an acupuncturist, I spend a lot of time talking to women about hormones, stress and energy levels. And what I see again and again is that health is often built through the things we do regularly, not the things we do perfectly.

None of the habits in this carousel are magic on their own.

But together they help me feel more balanced, more resilient and more able to show up for the people and work that matter most.

I’d love to know what’s on your list.

What’s one thing you do consistently that genuinely helps you feel healthier or more like yourself?

Pre-period spotting is one of the symptoms I pay close attention to in clinic especially for women trying to conceive.

When it happens month after month, it often gets brushed off as “normal” but spotting before a period often tells me the body isn’t holding the uterine lining as steadily as it should in the second half of the cycle.

This is one of the acupressure points I use most when progesterone support and luteal phase stability are part of the picture.

You’ll find it on the inner side of the big toe, right beside the corner of the nail bed.

Apply gentle but firm pressure for around 60–90 seconds on each side.

It can feel surprisingly tender.

Used consistently through the luteal phase, this can help support stability and reduce spotting before a period arrives.

Comment CYCLE and I’ll send you the info on how to regulate your cycle with acupressure.

And if you’d prefer using a tool rather than your fingers, I use a specific acupressure pen in clinic.

You’ll find it on the inner side of the big toe, right beside the corner of the nail bed.

Apply gentle but firm pressure for around 60–90 seconds on each side.

It can feel surprisingly tender.

Used consistently through the luteal phase, this can help support stability and reduce spotting before a period arrives.

Comment CYCLE and I’ll send you the info on how to regulate your cycle with acupressure.

And if you’d prefer using a tool rather than your fingers, I use a specific acupressure pen in clinic.

Pre-period spotting is one of the most commonly dismissed symptoms I see in my clinic.

A little brown spotting.
Sometimes pink.
A few days before your period properly arrives.

And so many women are told it’s “normal”.

But in clinic, I pay attention to it.

Because spotting before a period is often a sign that progesterone isn’t being sustained well enough in the second half of the cycle.

Progesterone is what helps maintain the uterine lining after ovulation.

So when levels begin to drop too early, the lining can start breaking down ahead of time and that’s often what you’re seeing as spotting.

This is one of the reasons I focus so much on the luteal phase with my fertility patients.

Because what happens after ovulation matters just as much as ovulation itself.

And this is also why I use acupressure support consistently through the second half of the cycle to help support progesterone, calm the nervous system and create the stability the body needs.

Not by forcing anything.

Just by supporting what the body is already trying to do.

If this is something you experience, I’ve put together a free Progesterone + Egg Quality Guide which goes into this in much more detail.

Heavy periods aren’t something I brush off in clinic.

Especially when they leave you feeling drained, depleted or like your body is struggling to recover every month.

This is one of the points I use when bleeding feels excessive or periods leave someone completely wiped out afterwards.

You’ll find it four finger widths below your kneecap, just off the inner edge of your shin bone.

Apply firm, comfortable pressure for around 90 seconds on each side.

It may feel slightly tender or achy.

Used consistently, this can help support circulation and reduce that heavy, dragging feeling that often comes with heavier periods.

And if you’d prefer using a tool rather than your fingers, I use a specific acupressure pen in clinic.

One of the things my fertility clients consistently tell me is how much calmer and more connected to their cycle they feel once they start using acupressure properly.

And what’s important here is properly.

Because acupressure isn’t just randomly pressing points you found online and hoping for the best. Different points are used at different times in the cycle because your hormones, nervous system and blood flow needs change throughout the month.

There are points we use during your period. Different ones to support the follicular phase. Different points around ovulation. And others during the luteal phase to support progesterone and nervous system regulation.

This is why timing matters just as much as the points themselves.

I’ve been incorporating these techniques more and more with fertility clients lately because they’re simple, gentle and easy to use consistently at home alongside acupuncture and other fertility support.

And honestly, the feedback has been brilliant.

If you recognised yourself in my ‘6 signs of low progesterone I see all the time in clinic’ reel, this is what that can look like in real life.

Ovulation can be regular and bloods can look “fine”, but if the second half of your cycle feels unsettled – spotting, anxiety, lighter sleep – progesterone often needs steadier, calmer support rather than more doing.

This is a pattern I see again and again.

Save this so you can come back to it when you need it most.

I see this pattern a lot at this time of year.

You’re not necessarily “stressed”…
but things feel Shorter. Tighter. More reactive.

Sleep feels lighter.
Patience feels thinner.
Your body feels like it’s holding pressure somewhere.

In Chinese medicine, spring is a season of movement.

And when that movement gets stuck, it often shows up as irritability, tension and that “coiled” feeling in the body.

This is one of the points I use when things feel emotionally or physically congested.

You’ll find it three finger widths up from your wrist crease, in the slight dip between the bones on the outer side of your forearm.

Apply steady pressure for around 90 seconds on each side.

It should feel slightly achy or tender.

Used consistently, this can help the body feel less braced and more able to regulate stress smoothly.

And if you’d prefer using a tool rather than your fingers, I use a specific acupressure pen in my clinic.

PCOS is being renamed PMOS – polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome ... and it’s a change that actually matters.

For years, I’ve sat with women who felt confused by their diagnosis.
Or worse - told they couldn’t have PCOS because nothing showed on a scan.

The problem is, the name never reflected the full picture.

This isn’t just about ovaries.
Or cysts.

It’s a complex, whole-body condition involving hormones, metabolism, and how the body regulates itself.

That hasn’t changed.

But the language finally has.

And sometimes, hopefully, that’s where understanding starts to shift.

Spotting, PMS, short cycles, painful periods? Your cycle is talking.

And for so many women, that constant irregularity is exhausting. Not just physically but emotionally. When you can’t predict your cycle, can’t trust your body and can’t get a straight answer from anyone about what’s actually going on, it chips away at you month after month.

The frustrating thing is that irregular cycles are one of the things that respond really well to consistent, targeted support. I see it in my clinic all the time.

Acupressure works by supporting the systems that regulate your cycle - blood flow, nervous system, hormonal communication. When you stimulate the right points at the right time in your cycle, your body starts to get the message.

So I built a plan around it.

The Regulated Cycle Plan is the exact acupressure system I use in my clinic - structured phase by phase so you can use it at home, consistently, and start to see real shifts in how your cycle feels.

DM me RCP and I will send you over more information.

That headache starting at the base of your skull?

I see this pattern a lot in clinic.

Tight neck.
Tense shoulders.
That pressure feeling sitting at the base of the skull.

It’s often a sign the body has been “holding” stress for longer than it realises.

This is one of the points I use most when tension starts building in the upper body, especially when stress is starting to show up physically.

You’ll find it in the hollow spaces just underneath the base of your skull, about two thumbs’ width out from the spine.

Apply firm, comfortable pressure or slow circles for around 90 seconds.

It should feel relieving rather than painful.

Used consistently, this can help reduce tension and encourage the body to soften rather than brace.

And if you’d prefer using a tool rather than your fingers, I use a specific acupressure pen in clinic. DM me for details.

Low AMH has become one of the most emotionally loaded fertility results women receive.

I see it all the time in my clinic - women arriving already convinced their fertility has been decided because of one number on a blood test.

And whilst AMH can absolutely give useful information, it was never designed to predict whether you can or cannot get pregnant.

Originally, it was introduced to help estimate how the ovaries might respond to stimulation medication during IVF. In other words, it gives an indication of possible follicle response - not the quality of the eggs developing inside those follicles.

That distinction matters far more than most women realise.

Because egg quality is influenced over roughly three months, and during that time things like blood sugar balance, nutrient availability, inflammation, stress physiology and overall health all shape the environment those eggs are developing in.

This is why I never look at AMH in isolation.

I look at the full picture:
your cycle, ovulation patterns, symptoms, stress levels, sleep, lifestyle and overall hormonal health too.

Low AMH may tell us something important.
But it is not the full story.

If you’ve recently had a low AMH result and feel overwhelmed by what it might mean, DM me AMH5 and I’ll send you my free acupuncture-based AMH guide explaining what this result actually tells us - and the areas we can still support together.

There isn’t one “right” way to work with me because women need different levels of support depending on where they are in their health or fertility journey.

Some women want the structure and consistency of weekly treatment. Others need a focused insight session to help them understand their hormones, symptoms or fertility options more clearly. And some simply want flexible support they can fit around life.

What matters most to me is that support feels personalised, calm and realistic - not overwhelming or one-size-fits-all.

Whether you’re trying to conceive, navigating peri-menopause, struggling with fatigue, irregular cycles or simply feeling unlike yourself hormonally, there are ways we can work together that meet you where you are now.

DM me “4” and I’ll talk you through which option might suit you best.

Low progesterone is something I’m often asked about when someone is trying to conceive.

But what’s interesting is that it doesn’t always show up in obvious ways.

Sometimes the signs are quite subtle, and easy to overlook.

You might notice...
🩸 your period arrives a little sooner than expected after ovulation, so the second half of your cycle feels shorter than it should.
🩸 there’s spotting in the days leading up to your period, even when everything else seems fairly regular
🩸 some women describe feeling quite different after ovulation too - lower mood, more anxious or not sleeping as well - without always linking it back to hormones.

In some cases, it can also show up as difficulty maintaining an early pregnancy, as progesterone plays an important role in supporting the uterine lining at that stage.

And often, when we look a little closer, we see that ovulation itself isn’t as strong or consistent as it could be, which means progesterone doesn’t rise as well afterwards.

This is something I talk about a lot in my clinic.

Progesterone is important, but it usually reflects what’s happened earlier in the cycle.

So instead of just trying to increase progesterone, we look at...

✅ supporting ovulation
✅ supporting blood flow to the uterus
✅ supporting the nervous system so the body can produce progesterone more effectively.

Have you experienced any of the signs of low progesterone I’ve listed above?

Comment PG1 and I’ll send you my top tips for supporting progesterone

One of the most common things I see is women trying to support their fertility by focusing on one thing at a time.

One hormone.
One supplement.
One piece of advice.

But the body doesn’t really work like that.

When I’m working with someone in clinic, I’m usually thinking about how different systems are interacting with each other.

Is there enough energy available to support the cycle properly?
Is blood flow reaching the reproductive organs as it should?
Is the nervous system in a state where the body feels safe to ovulate and regulate hormones?

These are often the quieter pieces that don’t get spoken about as much, but they make a real difference.

Acupuncture points are one of the ways we can gently support those systems together, rather than trying to push one hormone in isolation.

If you like having something practical to do at home, I’ve created a free training showing three of the points I use most often in clinic and how to use them properly.

Feeling tired after eating isn’t just about what you’ve eaten.

In clinic, I’m often looking at how well your body is actually turning food into energy.

Because when digestion is working properly, food should support your energy - not leave you feeling flat, heavy or ready for a nap.

When things are a bit sluggish, you can get that post-meal dip, even if you’re eating well.

This is one of the points I use when energy isn’t holding after food.

You’ll find it about a hand’s width above your belly button, on the midline.

Apply gentle, steady pressure for around 90 seconds.

It should feel slightly tender, not painful.

Used consistently, this can help support digestion and improve how your body responds to food.

And if you’d prefer using a tool rather than your fingers, I use a specific acupressure pen in my clinic.
