Treatment Type: Trying for a baby

5.0 out of 5
I have so much to thank Ali for, not only did she help me recover from a second trimester miscarriage but after 6 years of doctors telling me I couldn’t carry a baby to term Ali helped me prepare my body and get pregnant the first cycle trying again. Ali helped me manage my gestational diabetes and her induction acupuncture meant the hospital could break my waters and I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy within 3.5 hours. Thank you Ali!

I first saw Ali in Sept 12 and she used Acupuncture to clear my headaches, reduce spotting, period pain, sore breasts, improve cervical secretions and balance emotions. On session 5 I felt amazing, not stressed one single bit, like a switch had been turned off. By session 10 I had no clots, no pain, my PMS was under control and I had a 28 day cycle (was 34 days in the past). Ali used Acupuncture alongside my IVF and on 24th Sept 13 I was 5 weeks pregnant !! I am now 15 weeks and feel great! I would definitely recommend Ali she has helped me thorough a difficult journey to become pregnant and has always kept me positive and calm.

I have visited Ali approx 5 times during the past 7 months and would highly recommend her excellent Acupuncture approach.
I had previously received treatment for recurrent miscarriages and had one daughter.
I saw Ali before becoming pregnant with my second child. I had suffered two further miscarriages and was completely drained as well as losing all hope.
After the first visit I felt so so much lighter, optimistic and healthier!
Ali took the time to listen, understand and then offer some very valuable advice as well as wisdom.
Its been an eventful journey over the past 7 months and I am now 22 weeks pregnant with a very healthy baby :).
Thank you so much Ali, I shall return for post-natal calming!

I first starting visiting Aliya for acupuncture a year ago after having surgery on my back in May 2013. After the surgery I tried steroid and painkiller injections into my vertebrae via an NHS pain clinic and also regular massage but it didn’t work. I was having to take high doses of co-codamol, tramadol and gabapentin to control my pain. This meant I was unable to try for a baby and I actually felt hopeless in the fact I thought i’d never be well enough to carry a pregnancy. It took a few sessions before it started to work, probably due to the log standing back problems I’ve had for the past 16 years, but the perseverance paid off. I am now free of all painkillers and visit Aliya approx. Every 8 weeks and this time gap is extending after every treatment. I also felt ready to start trying for a baby and am happy to report that we ‘got caught’ first time. I happy in the knowledge that Aliya will be able to continue treating me during my pregnancy and help keep my back pain at bay.
Aliya makes you feel relaxed and comfortable and talks you through every aspect of your care, I would highly recommend her.

I found Aliya when my husband and I were almost at the point of believing we would never conceive and carry to term a baby. We had suffered the turmoil of consecutive miscarriages and then failing to conceive for over a year. I remembered seeing a piece about the benefits of acupuncture and much to our relief after some searching I came across Aliya’s name.

At my first treatment Aliya immediately put me at ease and gave me the confidence that we would get there. Aliya identified a number of areas we needed to work on and overtime we addressed them all. Acupuncture is a wonderful treatment method and Aliya is a gifted practitioner. Believe it or not Aliya knew I was pregnant before I did!

This wasn’t a quick process, it took time, but I believed in Aliya and trusted that she could help us. I think that for me was one of the most important things. Aliya is just lovely and I can’t think of a nicer person to help you through one of the hardest times of your life.

Aliya goes the extra mile and fitted me in for treatments to ensure that the pregnancy stayed strong and rooted. After some early bleeding I had a treatment and on the way home it felt as though our little embryo was burrowing deep into my womb. I continued to see Aliya throughout my pregnancy and I’m pleased to say the treatments all worked as I delivered a very healthy baby boy after suffering with gestational diabetes.

After our baby was born Aliya did a wonderful light treatment for him, which he loved.

I often hear people say they didn’t get on with acupuncture, to which I always say, well you should go and see Aliya.

We’re just so thankful that I found Aliya as everyday we now get to see our miracle baby enjoying life and growing happily.

Ally performed the fertility/IVF protocol for me and I would highly recommended. She gives wonderful personalised treatment that also targeted my other ailments like allergic rhinitis.

The highlight for me was that Ally worked around my IVF schedule and even made space for me when she was fully booked which meant I could have the full acupuncture protocol.

I would highly recommend !!

I started my treatments with Ali in January 2016 to help me with becoming pregnant. As well as feeling relaxed after each treatment, I learnt many interesting and useful additional tips for becoming and staying pregnant. I am now expecting my second child in April 2017, thank you so much.

I started seeing Ali in October 2015 after 5 years of trying to conceive and one failed round of IVF. She gave me hope and supported me through a stressful time. Within 2-3 sessions my almost daily migraines had completely gone and then slowly my periods started to get less painful and stretching to 28 days. I had my IVF cycle the following February and had some bleeding at 4 weeks but I continued with regular Acupuncture sessions and though we did have some bumps along the way (no pun intended) I now have a healthy baby boy. I will definitely be booking in to see Ali again and will continue to do so regularly. Thank you Aliya! F x.

I went to Ali in Sept 2014 after being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovaries and trying to conceive. After just 3 sessions I found out I was pregnant! Amazing. I felt totally at ease with Ali and was amazed at how much acupuncture actually does work alongside taking Clomid which helped to make my body ovulate. I would definately recommend acupuncture and Ali because it really does work! I now have a beautiful daughter called ‘Lily Faith’!

I was recommended to Ali by a work colleague and started my sessions last December after suffering since my teens with acne and irregular periods, which was potentially due to PCOS. I suffered a miscarriage last year and was looking to acupuncture to help regulate my periods so me and my husband could try again for a baby. After only a few sessions I noticed my skin became clearer and within a couple of weeks I found out I was pregnant! I carried on seeing Ali until my 12 week scan to help keep me calm and provide any support with the symptoms of early pregnancy i.e. Nausea and heart burn. I cannot recommend Ali enough to anyone who is new to acupuncture. Not only did she help with the physical symptoms of early pregnancy and helping me stay pregnant but she was also a huge support mentally in making sure I didn’t panic and worry too much. I will defiantly be returning to Ali for further treatment towards the end of my pregnancy. Thank you Ali.
