Still not feeling like you, even though your bloodwork say you’re fine?

In Chinese medicine, we often call this Blood Deficiency 🩸

It’s one of those sneaky imbalances that rarely shows up in standard bloodwork…

But your body feels it.

✨ Think:
• Low energy
• Lighter or missing periods
• Anxiety or racing thoughts
• Dry skin
• That wired but tired feeling, like your tank is empty

🌿 A lovely first step?

Warm, nourishing meals like soups, stews, and congee ,especially with iron rich foods like beef, beetroot or molasses, paired with vitamin C to boost absorption.

But that’s just the beginning.

Inside my community, I’ll teach you how to spot the subtle signs of Blood Deficiency and how to nourish yourself through the seasons, your cycle, and your life ,with Chinese medicine wisdom and food energetics leading the way.

💛 Ready to feel seen and supported?

Comment “COMMUNITY” and I’ll show you what your body’s been trying to say all along.

You were never meant to guess your way through this.

That’s what I’m here for 💫

Most people don’t understand this…

…but having high AMH or a PCOS diagnosis isn’t the full story.

What I see time and time again in my patients is that “normal” blood tests and high egg count don’t always mean smooth cycles or easy conception.

In fact, many arrive feeling lost after being told everything is “fine” while their cycles are irregular, ovulation is unclear, and their gut says otherwise.

✨Here’s what consistently helps my clients shift the needle:

⭐ Balancing blood sugar (even small changes make a big impact)
⭐ Understanding their specific PCOS type
⭐ Testing to uncover hidden inflammation or hormone imbalances
⭐ Supporting the body gently with food, herbs, and acupuncture

But here’s the truth: guessing gets frustrating. Clarity changes everything.

🌀 If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in a loop, or unsure what’s really going on with your hormones…

Comment “PCOS TOOLKIT” and I’ll send you my free guide to help you understand your type of PCOS,and what to do next.

It’s packed with practical tips, supportive insights, and the kind of clarity that makes everything feel more doable.

You don’t have to figure this out alone 💛

Why does no one talk about this while TTC? 💤

The exhaustion that hits mid morning.
The fog that makes you forget what you walked into the room for.
The mood dips that seem to appear out of nowhere.

You’re tracking, eating “clean,” maybe even taking supplements , so why do you still feel off?

Let’s talk about something often overlooked: nutritional deficiencies.

✨ Low B12 can leave you feeling extra tired, foggy, and even low in mood , and it’s incredibly common when TTC.

Add in folate, iron, magnesium, and you’ve got a list of nutrients that, if depleted, can make this journey feel so much harder than it needs to be.

Here’s what might help:

1️⃣Test, don’t guess , a simple blood panel can tell you so much.
2️⃣Track your energy and moods , they’re often the first clues.
3️⃣Nourish, don’t restrict , your body needs fuel now, not just “if” you get pregnant.

💛 You don’t have to figure this all out by yourself.
Comment COMMUNITY for supportive space, grounded guidance, and real conversations about what’s really going on.

Because you deserve care, not just hope.

Low AMH = no options? Not quite. Here’s what actually moves the needle ⤵️

I know the panic when my patients see those three letters: AMH. 😩

Cue the Googling. The worry. The spiraling.

But what I’ve learned since, what I wish someone had told them, is that AMH is one part of the picture. Not the whole story. Not even close.

Yes, AMH gives us info about ovarian reserve.
But no, it doesn’t determine your worth, your womanhood, or your chance of becoming a parent.

There are women with low AMH who go on to have healthy pregnancies. Naturally. Through IVF. Every path is different, and every path is valid.

Here’s what actually moves the needle:

💡 Looking at the full hormone picture
💡 Supporting egg quality, not just quantity
💡intentional practices, better sleep, targeted supplements
💡 Working with someone who sees you,not just your numbers

It’s easy to feel isolated in all this. That’s why I built a space where you don’t have to figure it out alone.

✨ If you’re tired of doing this solo, comment “community” and I’ll invite you to join ours.

We talk AMH, IVF, nervous system support, and real stories, judgment free.

You’re not out of options. You’re just getting started.

It wasn’t always this easy to find people who got it ⤵️

“I remember sitting in my car after yet another appointment, holding back tears, wishing I had someone I could message who actually understood what I was going through”

Those were Laura’s words. Not mine.

She wanted someone to vent to, but someone who knew how to read a BBT chart, who had seen confusing blood test results before, who didn’t blink when I asked about luteal phases or progesterone support.

What she needed was actually already a reality. And she just had to find

That’s why I created the fertility community!

A space for women navigating the fertility journey—where you’ll get:

🔍 Help interpreting your BBT charts (no more second-guessing those temps)
🩸 holistic reviews of your bloods and scans so you can actually understand what they mean
📆 Cycle-specific guidance every single month tailored to where you are
💬 A safe space for everyday questions—nothing is too small or “silly”
🤝 Access to a private WhatsApp group for real talk, real support, and real connection

It’s the group chat she wish I’d had—full of encouragement, practical advice, and the kind of support you can’t Google.

Whether you’re celebrating a peak OPK, navigating a tough scan, or just need to ask “is this normal?”—this is your space.

And the best part? You’re never doing it alone.

Comment ‘membership’ to join today and step into a community that truly gets it. 💛

You don’t have to hold it all by yourself anymore.

We’re right here with you.

A bit of a different one from me this evening talking about the moon! 🌚 But it is quite symbolic in Chinese medicine when it comes women's health and a regular cycle!

An impaired circadian rhythm can hugely impact our menstrual cycle and therefore our homrones and fertility! 👶

I'd love to know how in sync you are with nature and if you ar guilty of being on your phone in the evening exposing yourself to blue light and messing with the natural rythem from day to night ☀️ 🌚

Comment below and let me know if you have your period on the new moon or the full moon 🩸or if you're not sure, let me know too so I can help! ✨

Fertility tips! 👶🏼 to get you ahead in 2023!

Trying for a baby can get very overwhelming! Therefore sometimes going back to the basics is needed to assess what could be going on 🕵️‍♀️

(Don't be fooled, these are very important steps to take!

Tracking Temps 🌡️
Tracking temperatures isn't just about ovulation, it reveals vital hormone balance insights. Timing of ovulation indicates Oestrogen-Progesterone balancr. For instance, a long follicular phase but short luteal phase could point to hormonal processing issues affecting ovulation quality and progesterone levels. Timely ovulation is key for balanced cycles and hormones. BBT can also help detect thyroid issues, endometriosis, and inflammation concerns.

BLOODWORK 🩸
Routine GP tests have broad result ranges. Something impacting fertility might seem normal due to these wide parameters. I aim for a narrower, optimal range within the conventional limits. Note that GP offered tests like FBC (full blood count) Day 3, and Day 21 aren't exhaustive. For recommended blood tests, comment "bloods 🩸" and I'll help you.

SAVE ENERGY 🔋
Daily, draining tasks impact energy levels significantly. Even seemingly small actions hold big consequences.

While choice is limited at times, it's crucial not to waste precious energy on unappreciative people or late nights. Prioritize conserving your energy!

Are you trying to improve your egg quality? 🥚🥚🥚 If so leave me a comment saying 'EGG' below and I will send you my very nifty improving egg quality protocol 🥚👀❤️

I've been away on a spa break with my trusty gorgeous sidekick and it's got me thinking about our eggs and the things we need to do to support it! ✨

I have no fancy canva design for this post so I'm just rolling with a picture of our lovely break away In Wales ☺️

Your eggs were on standby in your ovaries since you were a 14-weeks old in the womb. But the magic? They stay safe and sound in a dormant state so no damage can occur until....

Fast forward to your cycle starting and one egg taking centre stage. Nutrition, sleep, antioxidants – they're all VIPs, impacting the eggs development.

But hold it there, your choices play lead role! Will you fuel your eggs for optimal fertiliry or leave them hanging? The choice is yours.

If you'd like to know, comment below egg and I'll send you all you need to know! ❤️

Have a good rest of your week!

ACUPUNCTURE & BOOSTING IVF SUCCESS! ✨🥰

I've been supporting women on their IVF journey for many years, and there are a few things that can truly make a difference! 👶

I'm often asked about how Acupuncture can have varying effects from 1 month to 6 months of treatment. So, I've put together this post to summarise the information and help you make the best decision for yourself!

Understanding the different stages can be crucial, especially when investing in a fertility acupuncturist isn't feasible for everyone. This knowledge can guide you in deciding when to incorporate this amazing tool into your routine ❤️

Acupuncture can significantly impact IVF success! 👶 However, it's worth noting that the most successful cases I've seen in my clinic, both in men and women, are those who commit to a minimum of 3 months of treatment. This is due to how the reproductive system functions and the time it takes for eggs and s***m to mature.

The benefits of Acupuncture depend on the duration of your treatment. So, I've created this post to help you grasp what might be occurring between just one session and a whole year (12 months) of treatment!

Feel free to let me know if you find this information useful or if you have any questions ✨
