Book Your Appointment

Is this the right package for you?

You’re preparing to conceive naturally or for IVF / ICSI and want to use the months ahead to support your fertility
You want to support egg quality, cycle health and your overall reproductive health
You want consistent, personalised support rather than trying to work everything out on your own
You want someone looking at the wider fertility picture - including your cycle, symptoms, test results and your partner’s fertility where relevant
You’re ready to commit to a structured 12-week fertility programme

What's included:

60-minute initial fertility consultation and acupuncture treatment, including a detailed review of your fertility history, cycle, symptoms, previous investigations and test results
Written summary and personalised recommendations following your initial consultation
11 weekly follow-up acupuncture sessions (45 minutes each)
Ongoing review of your cycle, symptoms and progress throughout the 12 weeks
Consideration of your partner's fertility where relevant, including existing semen analysis or fertility results and anything that may be worth discussing further with your GP or fertility clinic
Personalised acupressure protocol to use at home to complement your treatment between sessions
Practical lifestyle guidance tailored to your fertility journey, including relevant support around nutrition, stress, sleep and everyday habits
Complimentary treatment add-ons where appropriate, such as moxibustion, cupping, ear seeds, LED/red-light therapy, electro-acupuncture and far-infrared therapy
Option to pay in 3 monthly instalments

Before your first visit, you’ll receive a short online health questionnaire. It’s a chance for you to share details about your health, lifestyle, menstrual cycle and any specific concerns. This helps me understand your full picture before we meet, so your session is completely tailored to you from the very start.

During your first appointment, we’ll spend time discussing your health goals, reviewing your questionnaire and exploring how acupuncture can best support you. You’ll then receive your first treatment, followed by a written summary with recommendations to guide your next steps.

Spotting. Heavy periods. Clots. 🩸

Here’s an acupressure point I want you to know about.

This is Spleen 10, which translates rather brilliantly if I may say as “Sea of Blood.”

I mean… they weren’t exactly subtle with that one, were they? 😂

In traditional Chinese medicine, SP10 is commonly used when we’re working with patterns involving the Blood and it’s an easy point to use yourself at home.

Sit with your knee bent, find the inside edge of the top of your kneecap and come roughly two thumb-widths up into the fleshy part of your inner thigh.

Apply comfortable, firm pressure for 60–90 seconds on each leg. Your finger is absolutely fine, or you can use my acupressure pen for more targeted pressure.

BUT… this doesn’t mean “I spot, therefore I should press SP10 every day.” 😂

Your symptoms, your wider pattern and where you are in your cycle all matter when choosing which points to use and when.

That’s why I don’t want you Googling “fertility acupressure points”, finding 14 of them and pressing the lot this month.

If you’re TTC and want me to teach you 3 fertility acupressure points you can use at home, comment POINT and I’ll send you my free training. 🤍

There are some messages I don’t think I’ll ever get used to receiving, and this is definitely one of them 🤍

When you’ve been alongside someone through the months of trying, you know just how much is sitting behind a message like this.

The appointments, the waiting, the hoping, the months where things haven’t gone the way she desperately wanted them to, the questions she’s brought into clinic and all those little conversations we’ve had along the way... and then one day THIS lands on my phone.

I may have had a little lump in my throat.

One of the things I love most about the way I work with my fertility clients is that it’s never just about coming in once a week, having some needles and heading home again.

I get to know what’s happening with her cycle, her symptoms, her test results and her fertility journey, we make changes as things unfold, I give her personalised acupressure to use herself between appointments and, probably just as importantly, I’m there for all the questions and wobbles that inevitably come with trying to conceive.

I would never tell anyone that acupuncture can promise them a pregnancy, because it can’t and every fertility story is different, but getting to walk alongside someone through this process and then being one of the people she wants to tell FIRST when those two lines finally appear is incredibly special.

And this week we got to celebrate this lovely news 👶🏼🤍

If you’re trying to conceive and reading this thinking “Blimey, I could really do with someone alongside me through all of this”, DM me METHOD and tell me a little bit about where you are with things.

I’ll reply personally and we can have a chat about what might be useful for you, whether that’s working with me in my Bournemouth clinic or having personalised fertility support online.

Don’t panic… I don’t make my clients live on bone broth, go to bed at 8pm and give up everything they enjoy 😂

I’m much more interested in understanding what your body is telling us than giving you another huge fertility checklist.

Because most women who come to me are already doing TOO much...

🌟 MIND THE APP! Stop letting an app decide when you’ve ovulated. It can predict a date, but I want to know what your body is actually doing.

🌟 MUCUS! Yes, we’re going there 😂 Are you seeing fertile cervical mucus? When does it appear? Nobody particularly wants to discuss it over dinner, but I’m absolutely going to ask you about it.

🌟 PRE-PERIOD. I want to know what happens BEFORE your period too. Spotting? Sore boobs? Headaches? Cravings? Pain? Mood or sleep changes? Those little details are gold for me.

🌟 ACUPRESSURE IS KEY. I give my clients personalised points to use at home based on what we’re actually working on. And you’ve seen my free acupressure training, haven’t you? 😉

🌟 YOUR PARTNER. If there’s a male partner involved, we’re not pretending fertility is all yours to sort out. Has he had a semen analysis? What did it show? His side of the fertility picture matters equally.

Now I’m curious about YOUR fertility week.

DM me what you’re currently doing to try to conceive — supplements, ovulation tests, tracking, food changes, acupuncture, Googling things at 11pm 😅 — and I’ll tell you what I’d question and what I’d keep.

Because the needles are actually only one part of what I’m doing with you.

When a woman comes to see me for fertility acupuncture, I’m not thinking about her as a 45-minute appointment once a week and then forgetting about everything until I see her again.

I want to know...

🩸 What her cycle is doing and what her periods are like
🩸 Whether she’s ovulating and what signs she’s seeing around that
🩸 What blood tests she’s had and what the results mean
😴 How she’s sleeping
🤯 What her stress looks like
🥦 What she’s eating

And where it’s relevant....what we know about her partner’s fertility too.

Because ALL of those things help me decide what we actually need to focus on.

And that might change as the weeks go on.

Her acupuncture is personalised each week, but I’ll also teach her acupressure points to use herself at home between appointments, make practical changes around food, sleep, stress or everyday habits where I think they’ll genuinely help and also bring in the following things where relevant:

✅ Moxibustion
✅ Cupping
✅ Ear seeds
✅ Red-light therapy
✅ Electro-acupuncture or far-infrared therapy

So that’s what I mean when I talk about fertility support rather than simply having acupuncture - I’m looking at the whole picture with you.

If you’re trying to conceive and reading this thinking ‘I need someone to look at everything I’m doing and tell me what’s not working’, DM me METHOD and let’s talk about where are now with things, what you’re doing and how I help women like you.

“Good for who?”

That’s what I’ve been thinking about a lot in clinic lately.

Because when you’re trying to conceive, it’s easy to end up with a list of ten things you feel you should be doing, because a friend, a neighbour or Google told you to.

I’d rather you had one or two things that feel right for you than a list so long it leaves you feeling overwhelmed.

Acupressure is one of the ways many women choose to build a few quiet minutes into their day - not because it’s another box to tick, but because it gives them a chance to pause and reconnect with their body.

If you’d like to learn three simple acupressure points I regularly recommend in clinic, comment POINT below and I’ll send you the guide.

Have you ever opened Instagram looking for answers and come away feeling even more confused?

One person tells you to take a supplement, another says to avoid it. Someone swears by cold plunges, while someone else tells you to keep your body warm. Every expert seems convinced they’re right, and before long it’s hard to know what actually applies to you.

One of the things I love most about traditional Chinese medicine is that it rarely asks whether something is simply good or bad. Instead, it asks a much more useful question...

Good for who?

Because what supports one woman’s body may not be the right approach for another, even if they seem to have similar symptoms.

I think that’s something we could all do with remembering, especially when we’re surrounded by so much advice online. Your body deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach.

I created my Fertility Insight Review to talk through YOUR situation and the test results you have received so far.

Before we meet, I’ll spend time reviewing your health questionnaire, blood tests and fertility history so that our appointment is focused on understanding your body rather than giving generic advice. Together we’ll create a personalised plan that include lifestyle recommendations, the most appropriate acupressure points for you and clear next steps.

DM me the word FIR1 and I’ll tell you more and answer any questions you have.

#acupressure #acupuncture #ttc #tcm #ivf

These are the things women are actually telling me in my clinic when we talk about what trying to conceive has started to feel like...

“I feel guilty doing anything that doesn’t involve trying to get pregnant.”

“I feel like I’m constantly doing fertility.”

“I don’t remember the last time I made a decision without wondering if it could affect my chances.”

And I think this is one of the parts of trying to conceive that people don’t really talk about.

Because somewhere along the way, enjoying yourself can start to feel almost irresponsible.

You book the holiday, then wonder whether you should be spending the money on treatment instead.

You order the wine, then question whether you should be drinking it.

You miss a supplement, skip the fertility podcast, have a week where you don’t track every symptom or simply spend an afternoon doing something that has absolutely nothing to do with getting pregnant... and there’s that little voice asking whether you’re trying hard enough.

But you are allowed to have a life whilst you’re trying to create one.

You’re allowed to go on holiday, laugh until your stomach hurts, eat the food, make plans for six months from now and have days where fertility isn’t the first thing you think about when you wake up.

None of that means you want a baby any less, and you don’t have to make every decision through the lens of your fertility.

Sometimes I think women need to hear that more than they need another list of things they should be doing.

If you know someone whose whole life has started to feel like it revolves around trying to conceive, send this to her. She might need the reminder too. 🤍

📌 Save this for the days when your brain feels a little foggy.

Do you ever walk into a room and completely forget why you’re there, lose your train of thought halfway through a conversation or find yourself reading the same sentence over and over again?

When life has been busy, you’ve been spinning lots of plates or your brain simply feels full, this is one of the acupressure points I like to come back to.

It’s called DU26 and you’ll find it in the groove between your nose and your upper lip, about a third of the way down from the bottom of your nose.

Apply firm but comfortable pressure for around 60 seconds. It should feel quite tender.

I find this is a brilliant point for helping you feel more present, more alert and like your brain has caught up with the rest of you.

If you’d rather use a tool than your fingers, I use a specific acupressure pen in clinic and on myself because I find it makes applying consistent pressure much easier. Comment PEN and I will send you the link.

Share this with your most forgetful friend 😂

Of all the things I could have forgotten to bring to Ibiza, it had to be my acupressure pen 🙄😂

I take the thing everywhere, use it on myself all the time and regularly tell other people how useful it is to keep one in your handbag, so this is frankly quite embarrassing.

But it has accidentally proved something that’s really important about acupressure, because you don’t actually need a pen to do it.

The pen is the tool I prefer because I find it MUCH easier to apply really focused pressure to a point, particularly when I’m using certain points on myself, but your fingers work perfectly well too.

Which is just as well, because tomorrow I’m going to show you one of the points I particularly wanted my pen for on this trip... and I’m going to have to practise what I preach and use my finger instead 😂

If you’ve seen me using the pen and wondered what on earth it actually is, comment PEN and I’ll send you the details of the one I use.

There are so many things we only seem to discover once they’ve already been trying for a baby for months and this is one I really wish more women knew about sooner.

Because when you’re trying to conceive, so much of what happens can feel completely out of your hands.

You wait for ovulation.

You wait to see if your period comes.

You wait for appointments, blood tests and results.

BUT Acupressure gives you something you can actually do yourself NOW.

And I think that’s why so many of the women I teach it to end up using it long after I’ve first shown them the points.

You don’t need an appointment, you don’t need any equipment and you don’t need to know hundreds of acupuncture points; you just need to know which points to use, where to find them and how to stimulate them properly.

So I’ve taken three of the fertility acupressure points I teach most often and put them into a completely free training where I show you exactly how to find and use each one at home.

Not another fertility checklist to save for later.

Something you can actually learn and start using.

If you’re trying to conceive and nobody has ever shown you how to use acupressure to support yourself at home, comment POINT and it’ll be my pleasure to send you over my FREE training.

My spotting has completely stopped.

That’s a message I just got from a client who’d been following my Regulated Cycle Plan and I can’t tell you how much I love getting messages like this.

She hadn’t started doing ten new things, she’d simply been following the acupressure plan consistently and using the points I’d recommended for each phase of her cycle.

And then she noticed something had changed.

The spotting she’d been seeing before her period had stopped.

This is exactly why I created the Regulated Cycle Plan, because I didn’t want women saving random acupressure points from Instagram and wondering which ones they should be using, when they should be using them or whether they were doing any of it correctly.

I wanted you to have a plan you could actually follow through your whole cycle, with different acupressure points for each phase and a clear understanding of what you’re doing and WHY

Of course, one woman’s experience isn’t a promise of what will happen for everyone and spotting can have different causes, but this is such a lovely example of what can happen when you stop doing things randomly and start working consistently with your cycle.

If you’ve been watching my acupressure Reels and thinking “I’d love to know how to actually put all of this together”, this is exactly what the Regulated Cycle Plan does.

Comment RCP1 and I’ll send you all the details.

Obviously this made it into my hand luggage ✈️

Some people don’t fly without a neck pillow… I don’t fly without my acupressure pen 😂

I take this little thing pretty much everywhere with me anyway, so there was absolutely no chance I was getting on a plane without it.

I do get a bit anxious before flying too. Nothing dramatic, but I definitely get that slightly nervous, unsettled feeling beforehand when my body seems to have decided there’s something to worry about even though my head knows perfectly well there isn’t 😅 and if you get travel sickness this pen and point are a lifesaver.

I use point PC6 (which you’ll find on the inside of your forearm, around three finger widths up from your wrist crease, between the tendons - press for 60-90 seconds on each side 🤗). In Chinese medicine it’s traditionally used for nausea and that slightly unsettled feeling, so it’s a very handy point to have up your sleeve if planes, trains and automobiles don’t always agree with you.

I love the pen because it makes applying focused pressure to the point really easy when I’m out and about.

And this is one of the things I really love about acupressure. It’s practical. Once you know a few useful points, you’ve got something you can actually use yourself wherever you happen to be, including somewhere over the English Channel or at 30,000 feet ✈️

Believe me - you won’t leave home without it ever again !

If you want the details (It’s on my website) but just comment PEN and I’ll send you everything you need to get started.

“Everyone else seems to get pregnant except me.”

Sometimes it’s said through tears.

Sometimes it’s said with a nervous laugh.

Sometimes it’s followed by, “I know I shouldn’t think like that...”

But after months, or even years, of trying to conceive, it’s hardly surprising that so many women feel this way.

It’s one of the reasons I’m so passionate about what I do.

When you come to see me, we don’t just talk about ovulation tests and supplements. We talk about your cycle, your symptoms, your blood tests, your lifestyle, your worries and everything that’s happened to bring you to this point.

One client told me, “This is the first appointment where I felt heard rather than hurried,” and that has stayed with me ever since.

Pregnancy is always the hope, but one of the biggest transformations I see is women beginning to trust their bodies again and feeling calmer, more informed and more in control of their fertility journey.

If you’ve been trying to conceive and you’d like to explore how I could support you, comment or message me DISCOVER and I’ll tell you more about my online Fertility Insight Review.

If you’re trying to conceive, one of the most powerful things you can do is help your body feel safe enough to switch out of stress mode.

This is Spleen 6, one of the acupressure points I use most often in clinic because it’s commonly used to support hormone balance, encourage healthy blood flow and help settle an overactive nervous system.

To use it at home, find the point four finger widths above your inner ankle bone, just behind the shin bone, and press firmly for around 60-90 seconds on each side.

It’s a small habit, but these simple daily practices often become part of the bigger picture that helps women feel more connected to their bodies.

Acupuncture can help your body get the most from IVF by supporting the parts of fertility that medication alone can’t always reach.

• It can improve blood flow to the ovaries and uterus.
• It helps calm the nervous system and reduce stress hormones.
• It supports a healthy uterine environment for implantation.
• It may help reduce common side effects such as bloating, anxiety and fatigue.

Together, these effects help create an environment where your body feels calmer, more balanced and better prepared for treatment.

If you’re about to start IVF - or you’re preparing for another cycle - it’s worth thinking about more than just the medication protocol. The way your body responds to treatment matters too.

That’s exactly what we focus on.

If you’re wondering whether fertility acupuncture is the right next step for you, DM me to book a free Discovery Call. We can chat about where you are in your IVF journey and whether my in-person acupuncture treatments or my online Fertility Insight Review would be the best fit.

I think a lot of women spend their lives slightly ahead of themselves.

Thinking about what needs doing tomorrow, what they’ve forgotten, who they need to message, whether they’ve replied to that email and what they’ve got planned for next week.

After a while, it starts to feel normal. So normal that you stop noticing how exhausting it is to constantly be living in the future.

I see this a lot in clinic, particularly in women who tell me they’re tired but can’t seem to properly switch off, even when they finally get the chance to rest.

Kidney 1 is one of my favourite acupressure points when someone feels scattered, disconnected or like they’re constantly rushing ahead of themselves. It helps bring your attention back into your body when everything feels like it’s happening in your head.

You’ll find it on the sole of your foot, in the slight dip that appears when you curl your toes. It’s roughly in line with your second and third toes, about a third of the way down from the base of the toes towards your heel.

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

Sometimes the most helpful thing isn’t doing more or finding another thing to add to your list. Sometimes it’s simply creating a moment where your body can stop racing ahead and come back to where it already is.

If you’d rather use a tool than your fingers, I use a specific acupressure pen in clinic and on myself.

Comment PEN and I’ll send you the link and an offer code.

P.S. You’ll see her scrunching her toes to help locate the point. Once you’ve found it, you can relax your toes while you apply pressure.

Save this post so you can come back to it whenever you need it.🤍

I hear this a lot in clinic:

“My cycle is regular… so I don’t understand what’s wrong.”

And this is where progesterone often gets misunderstood.

Because it’s not just about whether you ovulate.

It’s about how well your body supports the second half of your cycle.

Timing matters.
Symptoms matter.
Your nervous system matters.

This is why I don’t guess in clinic.

We look at progesterone at the right time (7 days after ovulation), alongside symptoms and the bigger picture, so we can actually see what’s going on.

If you’ve been told everything is “normal” but something still feels off, this is often where we start.

During my 45-minute Fertility Insight Review (FIR) I’ll review your health questionnaire, blood tests and fertility history before we meet, then together, online, we’ll create a personalised fertility plan that’s tailored to you, including the most appropriate acupressure points, lifestyle advice and recommendations to support your fertility.
DM me FIR1 And let’s get started.

Which one are you?

❓ The Screenshot Collector.

❓ The “Everything Looks Fine” Tracker.

❓ The Ovulation Test Tracker.

❓ The Google-at-11pm Tracker.

Most women trying to conceive aren’t short on information.

In fact, it’s often the opposite.

They’ve got screenshots saved in their phone, blood test results sitting in emails, cycle tracking apps full of data and enough fertility information in their head to pass an exam.

And yet they’re still asking the same question:

“What am I missing?”

I hear that question all the time - usually because nobody has helped them make sense of all the information they’ve already collected.

That’s exactly why I created the Fertility Insight Review.

Before we meet, you’ll send me any blood test results you’ve had, along with information about your cycle, symptoms and fertility journey so far. I’ll review everything in detail before our appointment and together we’ll look at the bigger picture rather than focusing on a single number, hormone or test result in isolation.

Because fertility is rarely about one thing.

It’s about understanding the pattern.

If you’re tired of collecting information and ready for some clarity, comment INSIGHT and I’ll talk you through how it works

Save for those days when everything feels a bit much. 🤍

I think most of us recognise this feeling.

Nothing has gone dramatically wrong, but your patience feels shorter than usual, you’re more easily irritated by things that normally wouldn’t bother you and it feels like you’re carrying around a level of tension that you can’t quite put your finger on.

I see it a lot in clinic, particularly when life has been busy for a while and there hasn’t been much space to properly process everything that’s been going on.

In Chinese medicine, this is often a sign that the body is struggling to keep up with the emotional and mental load it’s been carrying.

Heart 8 is one of the acupressure points I use when someone feels emotionally overloaded, restless or like everything is sitting a little closer to the surface than usual.

You’ll find it between the 4th and 5th fingers on your palm, where the tip of your little finger lands when you make a loose fist.

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

Sometimes the goal isn’t to fix anything or force yourself to feel differently. Sometimes it’s simply about creating a small moment where your body gets the message that it can soften a little.

If you’d rather use a tool than your fingers, I use a specific acupressure pen in clinic and on myself.

One of the most common things I see in clinic is women trying to support progesterone with supplements while barely eating enough of the nutrients their body needs to make hormones in the first place.

We’ve become very good at looking for the next supplement and forgetting the basics.

When I’m working with women who are experiencing spotting before their period, PMS, a short luteal phase or symptoms that suggest progesterone isn’t where we’d like it to be, food is often one of the first places I start.

Not because there’s one magic food that suddenly boosts progesterone, but because your body needs the right building blocks before it can produce hormones effectively.

The five foods in this carousel are ones I recommend regularly because they’re rich in the protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals that support hormone production.

What I’m usually looking for isn’t perfection, it’s consistency.

What are you eating most days?

Are you giving your body enough protein?

Enough healthy fats?

Enough nourishing, whole foods?

Those questions are often far more important than finding the latest fertility superfood.

If you’d like to understand how I use food in clinic to support hormone health, regulate the menstrual cycle and optimise fertility, I’ve put everything together in my TCM Food Therapy guide.

Inside you’ll find:
✨ Foods to focus on during each phase of your cycle
✨ Simple recipes made with supermarket ingredients
✨ Practical Chinese medicine nutrition advice you can start using straight away

✨Save this for when you need it most.✨

If you’re trying to conceive, your body needs moments where it genuinely feels safe.

When we’re stressed, our nervous system stays switched on and our body prioritises survival over repair, hormone balance and reproduction.

One of my favourite acupressure points to use is Pericardium 6 (PC6) because it’s simple, calming and takes less than two minutes. To find it, measure three finger widths down from your wrist crease and locate the space between the two tendons on your inner forearm, then apply firm, gentle pressure or massage in slow circles for 60–90 seconds on each wrist.

It’s a lovely place to start, but it’s just one of several points I teach my patients depending on where they are in their cycle and what’s going on in their body.

If you’d like to learn the other fertility acupressure points you can safely use at home, DM me “POINT” and I’ll send you my FREE Fertility Acupressure Training.

You’ll learn exactly where the points are, when to use them and how they can support your fertility journey alongside everything else you’re already doing.

#acupressure #acupuncture #tcm #ttc #stress

Stress is more than an emotion – it’s a hormonal signal.

When cortisol stays high, blood flow shifts away from the reproductive organs and your body moves into ‘fight or flight’ mode.

If your nervous system never feels safe, it won’t prioritise reproduction. And it’s often the little everyday stresses that add up… scrolling before bed, constantly thinking about the ‘what ifs’, rushing from one thing to the next or never giving yourself time to switch off.

One of the simplest ways to support your nervous system is through acupressure.

It’s something you can do at home in just a few minutes and many of my patients find it helps them feel calmer, sleep better and reconnect with their bodies.

🩸 Comment BL1 and I’ll send over my FREE blood test guide on what blood tests I’d recommend...

One of the biggest misconceptions about fertility and hormone health is that practitioners like me don’t care about blood tests.

I absolutely do.

In fact, one of the first things I often ask women is:

Have you had any blood tests done recently?

Because blood tests give us valuable information.

They help us understand what’s happening hormonally and can highlight things that need further investigation.

❌ The problem is that many women either haven’t had the right tests done, don’t know what to ask for, or have been told everything is “normal” without really understanding what was tested and what the numbers mean.

That’s exactly why I created my free blood test guide 🥳

It’s simply a list of the blood tests I most commonly want women to have when we’re looking at fertility and hormone health.

Not so you can diagnose yourself.

Just so you know what conversations to have.

#acupuncture #tcm #acupressure #ivf #progesterone

Which one sounded most like you? 👇

Sleep is one of the first things I ask about in clinic because the way you sleep often tells me far more than people realise.

If you’re the “Can’t Switch Off” type, where you feel exhausted but your brain won’t stop thinking, I’m often thinking about stress patterns and whether your cortisol hasn’t dropped properly at the end of the day.

If you’re the 2am Waker, waking around the same time most nights, I’ll often start asking questions about blood sugar because overnight dips can be one of the reasons your body wakes you to bring it back up again.

If you’re the Luteal Phase Waker, where your sleep is absolutely fine until the week before your period and then suddenly becomes lighter or more broken, progesterone is one of the first things I’m thinking about. As progesterone begins to fall, it’s very common for sleep to change.

And if you’re the “Hot & Awake” type, where you wake feeling hot, restless or constantly throwing the duvet off, hormonal fluctuations could be playing a part, particularly during perimenopause.

The important thing is that these are all very different sleep patterns, which means they often point towards very different things.

This is one of the reasons I rarely look at symptoms in isolation. Poor sleep, PMS, painful periods, low energy, digestive changes and cycle irregularities are often all part of the same conversation and when you start joining the dots, your body begins to make a lot more sense.

If you’ve been collecting symptoms for a while but still don’t feel like you have any real answers, that’s exactly what my Women’s Health Insight Review is designed for.

During this 45-minute online session, we’ll look at the bigger picture, connect the dots between your symptoms and create a personalised action plan, so you leave with clarity rather than another list of unanswered questions.

DM me WOMEN10 and I’ll send you the details.

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?

If life feels a bit much right now, try this.

This point is called Liver 3 and it’s one of my favourites when I’m feeling stressed, overwhelmed or like my brain is juggling too many tabs at once.

You’ll find it on the top of your foot. Start in the gap between your big toe and second toe, then slide your finger back towards your ankle until you feel a natural dip, just before the bones meet.

Using gentle pressure or small circles for 1-2 minutes on each foot can help calm the nervous system and encourage a sense of emotional balance.

It’s simple, takes less than five minutes and is one of the points I come back to again and again.

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

I got into a bath full of seaweed at the weekend and I genuinely didn’t want to get out.

Everyone is talking about cold water right now. And for some people it works brilliantly.

But for women trying to regulate their hormones or support their fertility ... repeatedly shocking the nervous system isn’t something I’d routinely recommend.

Warmth, rest and nourishment are what I come back to again and again in clinic.

This was the opposite of a cold plunge. And in TCM terms it makes complete sense.

Seaweed is rich in iodine, magnesium and zinc - all of which support thyroid function and hormone production. The warmth supports circulation to the pelvis and abdomen, which matters enormously for cycle health and fertility. And the whole experience quiet, warm, unhurried (oh, and with a great friend to keep me company, thank you Jane 🤍) is exactly the kind of nervous system reset me and my clients need more of.

Not a protocol. Not a challenge. Just something that actually felt good and happened to be really good for you too.

If you’re local to Dorset, SAE is worth a visit.

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.
