Worried acupuncture might hurt?

Most people feel little to nothing! And if something feels off, we adjust or remove the needle—simple as that.

Your comfort always comes first. ✨🧘‍♀️

“How many acupuncture sessions will I need?” — it’s one of the most common questions I get.

And the honest answer is: it depends.
Your body didn’t get out of balance overnight — and healing takes time, especially when we’re supporting fertility, hormones or long-term health conditions.

👉 As a general guide:
• For fertility support: I often recommend weekly sessions for at least 3 months (the length of an egg and s***m development cycle).
• For menstrual/hormonal issues: weekly or fortnightly sessions over 8–12 weeks can bring significant changes.
• For stress, sleep, digestion, or pain: many people feel a shift after just 2–3 sessions, with deeper changes happening over 5–10.

✨ Acupuncture works best as a process — not a quick fix. We’re working with your body, not against it. Ready to start? DM me or use the link in bio to book your first session.

She was told her AMH was too low. That IVF was her only hope. But… she conceived naturally. 💫

After months of exhaustion, pain, and confusion, Sarah’s body responded beautifully to the right kind of care: testing, treatment and regular acupuncture. I supported her hormones, microbiome, thyroid and immune system — and today she had a positive pregnancy test. 🕊️

✨ If you’re struggling to conceive, don’t give up hope.
There’s often more to uncover - and more we can do.

Balance Your Hormones Naturally with Acupuncture!

Did you know that acupuncture can help support hormonal balance and overall well-being? Whether you’re dealing with PMS, irregular cycles, menopause symptoms, or stress-related imbalances, acupuncture works with your body to restore harmony.

🔹 Reduces Stress & Cortisol Levels – Chronic stress can disrupt hormones. Acupuncture calms the nervous system, lowering stress and balancing cortisol.

🔹 Supports Menstrual Health – Regulates cycles, eases cramps, and reduces PMS symptoms by improving blood flow and hormone function.

🔹 Enhances Fertility – Helps optimize reproductive hormones and support a healthy menstrual cycle for those trying to conceive.

🔹Eases Menopause Symptoms – Reduces hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances naturally.

🔹 Improves Thyroid Function – Supports conditions like hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s by promoting energy balance and reducing inflammation.

If your hormones feel out of sync, acupuncture might be the natural solution you’ve been looking for! 🌿✨

Hi! I’m Ilana — an acupuncturist with over 15 years of experience and I’m passionate about helping people on their healing journey. I practice from my peaceful, purpose-built clinic in the beautiful village of Bricket Wood — nestled at the bottom of my garden. It’s a calm, serene space where you can even hear birds singing in the summer.

My journey to acupuncture started with a degree in Molecular Biology (what was I thinking?!), but everything changed when I turned to acupuncture to help me recover from glandular fever. Not only did it speed up my recovery, but it also resolved several long-term health issues when nothing else seemed to work. That experience opened up a whole new world for me — and I’ve never looked back.

When I was trying to conceive as a so-called "geriatric mum" (thanks for that, NHS!), I worked with the incredible Naava Carman, a fertility specialist whose knowledge blew me away. This led me to train with her and become a Fertility Support Practitioner — widely considered the gold standard in fertility training for acupuncturists. While I absolutely love supporting women on their fertility journeys and bringing babies into the world, I treat a wide range of people — from children and teens to adults — for all sorts of health conditions.

Outside the clinic, I’m a wife, a mum to a teenage boy, and a dog mum to Fluffy (yes, the name was picked by my then-6-year-old!) — our adorable white bichon frise.

I truly feel so lucky to do the work I love and to build such wonderful relationships with my patients. I can’t wait to support you on your journey to better health.
