Acupuncture for Fertility

At Serene Serenity, acupuncture is just one of the many tools we use to support you on your fertility journey. We also emphasise the importance of diet, supplements, herbal remedies, and lifestyle adjustments. By working together in a partnership, we will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, with the goal of optimising  your body to get and stay  pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy and birth.

Our commitment is to provide you with comprehensive care and support every step of the way. Each programme represents a significant commitment to your reproductive health and wellbeing. The structured approach, regular treatments, and comprehensive support provide you with the optimal conditions for success while empowering you with knowledge, tools, and confidence throughout your journey to parenthood.

Hope & Harmony Fertility Programme

This is the  PREP Programme, our comprehensive preconception care pathway, designed to optimise your body's readiness for conception, pregnancy, and birth. This is our most important programme because it addresses the fundamental aspects of reproductive health before conception attempts begin. 

This programme is 3-6 month weekly treatments, depending on your individual needs and history and each session is 75 minutes.
