Fertility & Pregnancy Acupuncture FAQs
Q: Can acupuncture really help with fertility?
Yes. Acupuncture can help regulate hormones, improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, reduce stress, and support ovulation and implantation. It’s effective on its own or alongside IVF or IUI.
Q: When should I start acupuncture if I’m trying to conceive?
Ideally, 3–6 months before trying to conceive is best — but it’s never too late to start. If you’re mid-cycle, preparing for IVF, or already trying, acupuncture can still be highly beneficial.
Q: Do you work with IVF and IUI cycles?
Absolutely. I regularly support women through IVF and IUI with tailored treatment plans that complement your protocol and enhance outcomes.
Q: Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?
Yes. I use gentle, pregnancy-safe techniques to help with common concerns like nausea, fatigue, pain, and anxiety — and I provide labour prep treatments from 36 weeks onwards.
Q: What is womb massage and how does it help with fertility?
Womb massage is a gentle abdominal therapy that helps improve circulation to the uterus and ovaries, reduce stagnation, and support emotional wellbeing. It’s especially helpful when used alongside acupuncture.
Q: What is the Chelsey Jean Lymphatic Massage and how will it benefit me?
The Chelsey Jean Lymphatic Massage is a gentle yet stimulating treatment designed to support the healthy flow of your lymphatic system. Using Chelsey Jean’s signature gloves and massage sequence, it helps activate circulation, encourage fluid movement, and leave you feeling lighter and refreshed. Many people choose this massage to ease puffiness, reduce that “heavy” feeling in the body, improve skin tone, and enjoy a deep sense of relaxation. It’s also a wonderful way to reconnect with your body and support your overall wellbeing. More information about its benefits can be found here.
Q: How often should I come for treatment?
Weekly sessions are ideal for fertility support and early pregnancy. Depending on your cycle and goals, we may adjust the frequency as things progress.
