I never imagined how much of an impact this work would have on me.

I can’t thank Sarah enough for the last 14 months. The treatment she has provided has been professional and purposeful in a relaxing, calm space with the opportunity for reflection and lots of support. I came to Sarah feeling lost and unsure what do next on my fertility journey. She listened and alongside acupuncture, she was able to offer advice with small manageable steps for me follow that helped me understand my mind and body and ultimately, resulted in a successful pregnancy and birth.

As well as offering acupuncture, Sarah was a guide for me on my journey. Someone who listened, understood and helped me along my path, no matter how rocky it was! Ultimately, I believe she has become a friend and I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you.

IVF is a lonely road to walk down for many couples and especially for the female. Not only are you having to deal with the fact that your body is not doing what you expected it to do the minute you try for a baby but you have the emotional burden of carrying the weight and expectations of your partner and family. You have so many questions, number one being Why Me? Then you ask yourself what can you do to ensure we get pregnant. You look into every avenue from what you eat, drink, exercise and acupuncture. That is where Sarah came in and she has been the saviour of my sanity at times.

Trying for a baby takes over your life even if you tell yourself it will not. I found myself thinking about it every spare minute of every day if I was not distracted by work, chores, the usual day to day routine and you become emotionally drained by the stress of what could be, what hasn’t been and what you want more than anything in the world which is to be a mum.

Sarah was my ears, my sounding block, my go to person when I needed advice, which was to be frank a lot. Never once did she turn me away or make me feel silly for asking questions and more importantly she was there with her extensive knowledge and deep understanding of the journey you go through with IVF. The complex procedures and individual stages of the process are confusing and overwhelming at times but Sarah always handled us in a compassionate and a gentle manner.  We always felt we were in safe hands. I cannot stress enough how grateful I am that I had Sarah’s hand to hold through my journey.

I would whole heartedly recommend Sarah to anyone who finds themselves in the need of acupuncture support. Thank you Sarah for everything, you made this hard journey that little bit easier just by being you.

I started acupuncture with Sarah before my 2nd round of ICSI IVF. At the time I was feeling pretty run down, and even after just one session I felt empowered and a shift in perspective. Sarah understands fertility and the IVF process so well, this provided me with a much needed comfort and support throughout a difficult time. Sarah’s sessions provided me with a lot more than acupuncture, she has a breadth of knowledge relating to lifestyle and diet and gives excellent counsel. Starting acupuncture with Sarah was one of the best decisions I made and I’m not sure I would be lucky enough to have my 15 month old son now if I hadn’t

Your support, friendship, guidance and knowledge have been invaluable. Without it this would have been a very difficult journey. Thank you for helping us prepare and have our successful fertility treatment

I personally have one regret with our work and that is that I did not seek you out before having my IVF as this sometimes sneaks into my head as a "what if I found Sarah sooner?" However, due to the work we did, I am happy within myself as I know we did everything we could to make conception a possibility. I will never forget that day I turned up at your door in tears saying "I do not want to try to conceive anymore, I accept it is not meant to be, now is my time to move on and live". I know that this was as emotional for you as it was for me and the support, love and commitment you gave me has given you a special place in my heart. I can also remember one day when I hobbled into your office as my sciatica was horrendous and you massaged me and I walked out of that room like nothing had been wrong.

I think what I got the most out of our weekly hours was reassurance, I struggled a lot to come to terms with the fact we were going down the route of IVF. I really didn’t understand the process and how it all worked, but you explained everything in simple terms that I could understand and try and get my head around. 

From finding out we were waiting for our consultation to get the IVF ball rolling my brain turned in to chaos and denial, you brought calmness in. That hour a week to spill out all my feelings with no judgement and then shut off with the needles doing what they need to do and the soothing music in the background kept me sane. My partner would say he could tell the difference in the way I was after our sessions and if I ever felt down about it all he would say ‘just tell Sarah it all’. 

From a physical point of view I needed the help to get my body ready for what we were going to do, I didn’t know my vitamin D was too low as not even a doctor had told me until you looked at my results. You explained mine and my partners test results. It’s such a technical world to come in to and I think this can be forgotten by doctors, they don’t have the time to have that personal relationship and explain everything so it’s easy to understand. Within 3 months I could see a difference to my periods, they became lighter and I wouldn’t have any pain with them. 

I never thought I’d be where I am right now, 16 weeks pregnant with 4 high grade blastocysts in the freezer on our first round of IVF. Without our sessions it wouldn’t have happened, I would never have been mentally ready to go through with it and even if I had pushed myself in to it I don’t believe my body would have been so receptive giving me the amazing results I got. 

This was harder than I thought it would be to do! My life from the start of our sessions doesn’t even feel like my life anymore!

Ollie and I want to say a big thank you for your help and support in making our little lady happen! A year ago we were getting to the point that it didn't look like it could be possible without some kind of medical intervention, but you proved us wrong. You took my theories on board, which the medical professions hadn't, and worked with that to enable us to conceive naturally. We've now got a beautiful bundle of joy and we won't forget the part you played in this. Thank you so much.

I went to see Sarah following a successful round of IVF which had sadly resulted in a missed miscarriage after a few weeks.  I had read and been advised that acupuncture can help and was given Sarah’s details as she specialises in this area. From our first meeting, which was virtual, I felt “heard” and that Sarah really understood the IVF process as well as the emotional sides that come with it too. 

Sarah is an expert in her field and from the chat you have at the start of your treatment, to the acupuncture itself, you feel “held” and safe.  I feel I can speak freely and openly and this is really good as it helps Sarah to decide what treatment to give you. The treatments are very specific to how you are feeling and what stage you are at in your IVF treatment/journey.

Sarah has been a prominent part of my fertility journey over the last 5 years. In that time she has helped me alongside my IVF journey to successfully carry 2 singletons and then lastly twins. In between those times where I suffered a miscarriage Sarah was my rock emotionally, she helped me understand and work through my emotions while also preparing me for further IVF cycles. I can’t thank Sarah enough for coming on this journey with me.

She has a vast amount of knowledge surrounding fertility and I would highly recommend her services. She goes above and beyond in all aspects. The paid session with Sarah is more than just having needles put in different channel points, it’s an opportunity for you at your most vulnerable to heal feelings you didn’t even knew you had.
