“Cassie,
I don’t know where to begin. To summarise, you saved me! IVF was one of the most difficult things I have had to do (emotionally & mentally) and I would not have survived without you. Not only were you incredibly professional, but the level of knowledge you have, amazed me. You automatically won my trust & answered every question of mine (even though I am aware I asked far too many) in such an empathic way, backed up with science & examples. Not only did you deliver a holistic service (to me, nutritionist, acupuncturist, and therapist) but you went over and above to check in on me & share my highs/lows. You comforted me when I cried but also re-assured me constantly. I will never really be able to express my gratitude for your expertise, kind nature & exceptional needle work. You worked your magic & I will forever be grateful for you for helping me through IVF to get pregnant. I would recommend anyone going through anything fertility related to get acupuncture with Cassie. I wish I had gone to her much sooner, maybe IVF could have been avoided?! My weekly sessions gave me such peace of mind & made me feel like I was in such safe hands. Cassie has so much experience & genuine passion for what she does. I am excited to go back for cervical ripening & that is saying a lot from somebody who doesn’t like needles! If anyone wants to talk more about my experience with Cassie then please feel free to reach out to her & she can put us in touch as I would really urge anyone who is in a heavy headspace to go for it!”
Fertility & Women’s Health
If you are thinking about trying to conceive or just want help regulating your cycles/hormones, both acupuncture and nutrition can be hugely beneficial. All our sessions are completely confidential and tailored to your individual needs.
We also offer 1-1 video or in person Fertility Strategy Sessions where act as a second pair of eyes to asses your personal situation. We’ll take a detailed look at your fertility history look at any lab results, make suggestions for any further testing and give tailored guidance on how to balance & support your reproductive health. If you are already undergoing any assisted fertility treatments including IVF, we talk you through each stage of your treatment, what to expect and how you might feel. We answer any questions you might have no matter how silly or irrelevant they may seem.
Trying to conceive can be an extremely stressful and lonely time. Acupuncture and Nutrition are holistic practices that account for the entire person. We believe in the connection between the physical body and the mind, so we will work with you to not only alleviate any physical symptoms but also ensure your mental health is in the best place possible.
We see women at all stages of their fertility journey and can help with things such as:
Male Factor (low sperm count/motility etc.)
Egg freezing, ICSI, IUI and IVF
Endometriosis
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Recent/Recurrent miscarriage
Absent, painful, irregular or heavy periods
Post Pill Amenorrhea (lack of a period after stopping the oral contraceptive pill)
Fibroids
ART, egg freezing & IVF
Going through any procedure of Assisted Reproductive Technology, ART including egg freezing and/or IVF, can be a hugely challenging and emotional time. It is extremely demanding on both the body and mind. Acupuncture can significantly contribute to the chances of success with egg freezing / IVF and can support your mental and physical health throughout the process.
Furthermore, the most recent evidence shows that acupuncture improves IVF conception and live birth rates by an astonishing 32%!

“I recently had the pleasure of having acupuncture treatment with Cassie to help with general health, anxiety, and fertility. From the initial consultation, I knew I was in good hands. Cassie took the take the time to delve deep into my medical background, and also understand my concerns and treatment goals.
She made me feel comfortable and positive, and no doubt helped me on my journey to conceiving through challenging times.
I would 100% recommended Cassie to anyone trying acupuncture for the first time or to wanting to just change things up!
Thank you Cassie, for your exceptional care and for helping me!”

“I started seeing Cassie a few months before I started IVF treatment. I was exhausted, anxious and constantly feeling stressed. As soon as I started doing acupuncture with Cassie I started sleeping better and felt more calm and relaxed. Cassie supported me through the whole Ivf treatment and through each of my transfers. She was patient, kind and always made time to fit it me in even around awkward timed transfers and appointments. I am so grateful to have met Cassie and I would highly recommend Cassie to anyone going through a long fertility journey.”
