Treatment Type: Fertility Acupuncture

I have been seeing Ali regularly for several months now. Initially I was referred to Ali for fertility issues, but I am glad to say that Ali does not just focus on this. I like the fact that she takes a complete holistic approach and has treated me for many symptoms that have been unrelated to fertility. As a result my body is more balanced and I have a general feeling of wellbeing, both physically and mentally.
Ali has treated me for my eczema which was a big irritant on a regular basis, this is now subsiding and is more manageable, rather than the constant scratching and the soreness. What I have found is that Ali will not only treat the ailment with acupuncture but will then give me general advice, such as what foods to avoid to stop the flare-ups, to go for a swim to cool the skin, to cool down the temperature in the shower, all of this then helps a person to keep the symptoms under control and helps you to understand what’s happening with your body and how to manage it.
Ali also helps me with my hyperhidrosis, a problem I have had since childhood and in the past I have used a machine at home to give myself treatments to help with the condition. Ali did not just ignore this condition, even though I did not come to her to help me with it. Every time she will ask about it and will use the acupuncture again to help me manage it. The symptoms are not completely cured but it is manageable to the point that I have not bothered to use the treatment given to me by the hospital. I wish now that I had known about acupuncture years ago, it would have saved me from so much heartache and embarrassment.
I also suffer a lot from migraines, practically every day, but I can confidently say that these are not coming every day now, I have had respite for several days and I am waiting for the time that these are completely gone, it will be such a relief not to have that sharp pain behind the eyes, I am confident that these will one day disappear. They are getting less and less painful and less and less regular.
As for the fertility, Ali is preparing my body for my first round of ivf, when and not if I have good news, I will be reporting back to her website to announce it. Ali has seen me through the ups and downs every month and has even introduced me to one of her clients who has talked to me, advised me and helped me to finally come to a decision about where I wanted to go for the treatment. I am feeling quite confident and upbeat about starting the process and I know that I have two people in the background that will support me throughout it, Ali and her client are always there, advising, encouraging and giving a positive outlook.
I don’t feel that this is just a treatment of acupuncture, this is a person who will go out of their way to help you, will advise you, will sit with you when you’re upset, will give you positive words of encouragement. I cannot recommend Ali enough and have no hesitation in going back to her for any treatment, I would rather go to Ali first than a doctor anyday. (Healthy baby girl “T” arrived safely).

As an existing client of Ali’s I turned to her when we were struggling to conceive after being diagnosed with polycystic ovaries. After spending two months on hormonal fertility drugs which didn’t agree with me I decided to try a more holistic approach and visited Ali every two weeks. She helped me enormously, and made me feel like I had support with our fertility journey, she took away any fears I had about being unable to conceive and after just two months of consistent acupuncture she regulated my cycle and we fell pregnant naturally. I knew that my body was in the best possible shape for a trouble free pregnancy thanks to Ali and trusted my body for the following nine months. I could not recommend her highly enough.

Aliya was recommended by a friend who had successfully conceived under Ali’s guidance. I decided to go down the acupuncture route after trying to conceive for a year for our second child. I have a busy, stressful job and attending Ali’s sessions allowed me to relax and find a sense of calm I hadn’t felt in a long time. Ali’s advice was sound, she has such a lovely manner and I cannot recommend her enough; especially after falling pregnant within 3 months of seeing her. Thank you, Ali! xx.

After trying to conceive for two years unsuccessfully, and suffering one miscarriage I decided to try accupuncture. Ali was extremely supportive from the outset and provided me with a different, welcome perspective on something that was becoming very frustrating emotionally and physically draining. From the first appointment I felt immediately relaxed and over the course of the next few weeks had noticed a huge improvement to my skin (mild acne due to pcos). Ali gave me homework after each session tailored specifically to what needed to improve and I followed this to the letter (none of it was unpleasant!) incredibly after only 6 weeks I discovered I was pregnant! I started seeing Ali weekly from this time to ensure the pregnancy was rooted and supported. This was so reassuring for me, particularly after my earlier miscarriage. I’m now 12 weeks pregnant and feeling fantastic and confident about my pregnancy, Ali was even able to help with my morning sickness when it struck at 7 weeks! Magic! I don’t know how or why acupuncture worked for me and to be honest I don’t care – it worked! Sometimes it’s just a question of putting your faith in something and someone else. I’ve already recommended Ali to good friends that are experiencing the same difficulties as I have every faith in her success rate.

Ali was recommended by a friend who was studying acupuncture and thought that Ali’s gentle and caring nature was exactly what I needed. We are unable to conceive naturally and after several failed fertility treatments it was time to try something different. When I first met Ali I was having difficulty sleeping, it took me a long time to go to sleep and I would wake between 4 -5 am and not get back to sleep, after just 1 session I was going to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I was also experiencing painful and irregular periods and within a couple of sessions I had no pain and a much healthier period and most importantly for my husband I was no longer like a demon.
From my first two ivf cycles I produced 9 eggs on the first attempt and 7 on the seconds since working with Ali my egg numbers have increased to 17 on the third attempt and 16 on the 4th attempt. On both occasions the hospital encouraged us to leave the embryo’s to develop to day 5 blastocyst stage which wasn’t an option on previous attempts we had 2 good quality blastocyst’s to put back. Sadly we haven’t been successful on either occasion but the improvement in the number and quality of eggs has given us hope for the future.
Ali has been a wonderful support and helped me in so many ways, she has regulated my period, improved my quality of sleep, helped to reduce my stress levels and improved egg quality and number of eggs. She is always very encouraging and at the end of every session she gives you a card with helpful suggestions and positive mantra’s, I have kept all of them and when I need a boost I have a read through and make sure I’m following all her advice.
I would highly recommend Ali as I have seen firsthand the difference acupuncture can make.

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 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.

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 !!
