Welcome! My name is Laura. I am an acupuncturist and Chinese medicine herbalist based in Sutton Coldfield.
I am an MSc ‘Fertility Support Trained’ Acupuncturist and Herbalist with advanced expertise in reproductive health, providing compassionate, evidence-based support for complex fertility cases. I have over a decade of experience and work with people from all walks of life, particularly those with fertility issues, anxiety and hormonal imbalances. I have a BSc Honours (Acu) and an MSc (Herbs) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I have undertaken advanced courses in fertility, have conducted and written a research paper specifically looking into male-factor fertility and am currently working toward an advanced diploma in fertility support. I work with couples or individuals to optimise their chances of conceiving naturally or through IVF and follow evidence-based protocols and guidance. During your comprehensive initial consultation, together we work through your diet, lifestyle and environment and I can advise if further medical testing may be required. I am a medical phlebotomist and can arrange blood work and other testing privately or suggest what may be necessary if you can access it through the NHS (although this would need to be arranged through your general practitioner). Over the years, I have worked with many couples and individuals. Natural medicine can be a slower route, but it will focus on the cause of your issues and symptoms and address them from the root. I have confidence that with patience and perseverance, we can work together to optimise your chances of achieving your goals.

Over the next few days, I'm giving the clinic some TLC, a fresh coat of paint, some nice little extra bits to freshen up the look and change a layout slightly to make it easier for couples to visit. (Currently one of the couples is sitting on my chair and I kneel, not my most professional look...). This post is mainly a reminder to those coming into clinic over the next few days - they'll be lots of ventilation and you'll still be kept warm during your treatment after the painting. Keep an eye out for the after photos coming next week (if all goes to plan).

To my clients going through IVF…
I understand how rapidly plans can change as you approach egg collection and transfer — last-minute adjustments, shifting timelines, and feeling like things are beyond your control.
As one of my valued clients, I want you to know: I’ll always strive to be as flexible as possible during this crucial time. Whether it’s early morning sessions, late evening appointments, weekends, or fitting you in between, I’ll ensure you get your treatments when you need them most.
Typically, I advise 2 treatments in the week leading up to egg collection and one on the day of your transfer. During your 2-week wait, weekly treatments are recommended.
Your care, comfort, and maximising your chances are my top priorities. If I’m away, trusted colleagues will support you seamlessly.
✨ My standard 48-hour cancellation policy applies to other appointments, but for IVF clients, rest assured — I’ll work around your needs.
You deserve support every step of the way. 💛

Feeling tired, foggy, or more emotional than usual while trying to conceive? You’re not alone — and it’s not just in your head.
Hormonal shifts, stress, and the emotional weight of TTC can leave you feeling out of balance.
Fertility acupuncture works to calm the nervous system, support hormone regulation, and help you feel more grounded throughout your cycle 💆♀️✨
You deserve to feel supported — mind and body.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncturist specialising Musculo-Skeletal, Mental-Emotional and Gynaecological issues. #thehappyacupuncturist
Acupuncture has been developed over thousands of years to be able to help you today. Whether you're suffering from headaches, migraines, arthritis, IBS, acid reflux, digestive concerns, stress, anxiety, depression, allergies, plantar fasciitis, neck pain, shoulder tension, substance abuse, eczema, acne, insomnia, worrying about the amount of medication you’re on... any health concern you may have, come and get treated the natural way.
Acupuncture works in numerous ways. It sets your body into Parasympathetic Nervous State to stop the secretions of Adrenaline and Cortisol, this reduces stress levels, blood pressure, aids digestion, improves sleep and so much more. It also starts off a reaction in the body which increased histamines, white blood count, prostaglandins, gamma globulins and antibody levels, this is what controls your body’s inflammatory response and leads to a reduction in pain levels, as well as the white blood cells promoting the healing of certain things. It has also been shown to increase your serotonin levels, which is why it is so successful in treating depression and anxiety, as well as PTSD.
I am Laura the Acupuncturist. Here is a little bit of information about myself. I gradutated from the Northern College of Acupuncture, after 4 years of studying full-time. Since then, I have completed numerous additional courses to enable me to specialise and therefore, be able to help people by using a higher standard of treatments. I am now a freelance acupuncturist and work world-wide, treating over 100 patients per week and I give time to each and every one of them, by offering a holistic approach to the acupuncturist/patient relationship.
