I attended Mary's practice after months of being nauseous during first trimester, having weekly migraines and difficulties to sleep.  Traditional medicine failed to diagnose the root cause, Mary did it on the first visit! Going there is not just having needles in,  you benefit from a clean and relaxing environment thanks to the addition of meditation music.  You are also listened to, and the treatment is adapted week to week. Mary really helped me physically and psychologically to be again the actor of my life.

I’d highly recommend Element Acupuncture!! Acupuncturist Mary is the sweetest, kindest lady, she is so experienced and professional. She really helped to prepared me for the delivery of my bundle of joy. Mary made the last few weeks of my pregnancy more comfortable and I felt very relaxed and focused for the big day! Thank so much Mary!!

I had dabbled in acupuncture in the past but never felt fulfilled after the experience...that was until I met Mary.  A warm, safe & welcoming environment set the tone for what became a journey for me both physically & emotionally. I originally attended Mary with the intention of having Cosmetic Acupuncture. However I soon realised that 5 element acupuncture was to play a huge part in my overall well being. Mary's caring, calm yet professional way made me feel at ease from the start. We started a therapeutic journey together which ultimately led to me discussing my desire to become pregnant but how it hadn't "happened". Being the wrong side of 30 I knew my time was running out but didn't want to embark on the IVF journey. So instead Mary took me on a holistic journey over 3 months involving lots of chats, meditation & applying the principles of 5 Element Acupuncture.

Fast forward 9 months later & we welcomed the greatest joy to our life...our happy, healthy little baby boy. Mary was with me throughout my entire pregnancy...low energy, sinus congestion, digestion, back ache, hormonal days...all the things that came with each trimester Mary adapted the treatment as necessary. At the final "hurdle" I was due to be induced. Mary again saw me every day in the run up to this & as a result I avoided induction & laboured naturally. So I couldn't but recommend Mary & 5 Element Acupuncture as an alternative for anyone considering fertility treatment. My little boy has great a connection with Mary already & I have a feeling he's going to be a regular customer going forward too.

Fertility Acupuncture is recommend 3 - 6 months prior to IVF, ART, ICSI. Acupuncture may also support IVF stimulation phase, before and after embryo transfer and 7 days after your embryo transfer. Many women benefit from receiving Acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer or within a 24 hour period before and after transfer.

It is important that you let your Doctor and your Fertility Team know you are receiving Acupuncture. Many Clinics and Consultants offer or recommend Acupuncture as an integrated part of the Fertility journey.
