“ At least a quarter of couples experience a period of infertility in their reproductive


lives lasting over a year ”


promote the benefits of pre- conceptual and pregnancy care and help couples to invest in the future health of their children. Many potential parents find that conceiving their longed for baby is not as straightforward as they had hoped - perhaps even after one successful pregnancy - and more couples are turning to assisted reproductive techniques such as IUI and IVF in an effort to fulfil their dreams. Preparation is again equally important and UK fertility expert Zita West says that she supports “a coordinated approach, alongside dietary and lifestyle management and Western medicine to promote the best possible levels of reproductive health generally, and specifically to help couples prepare prior to and during an IVF cycle”.


Stress is not good for you or your baby in pregnancy, and treatments can bring relief from not only stress but other pregnancy - related ailments such as nausea, fatigue, swollen ankles and backache.


In the last


few weeks of pregnancy there may be much that can be done to help prepare for the birth itself as well as looking ahead to the challenges of parenthood. We aim to provide a calm, safe environment to allow focus on the wellbeing of both yourself and your growing baby.


Therapies which are useful during pre-conception and pregnancy are:


• Acupuncture which works to help maintain your body’s equilibrium. It involves the


insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of ‘qi’, your body’s vital energy. Acupuncture originated in China and other far eastern cultures where it still features in mainstream healthcare. Acupuncture is now widely used and accepted in the UK and all over the world. As a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) Polly Ashton practices acupuncture based on Chinese medicine principles that have been developed, researched and refined for over 2,000 years. Polly is a Zita West affiliated practitioner.


• Craniosacral Therapy is a type of bodywork using


respectful and empathic light touch to access deep tissues and systems such as the central nervous system allowing the entire body to relax deeply and self correct. It is so gentle that it may be used effectively and safely in pregnancy and on young babies to help release the effects of stress, naturally.


• Reflexology is a non - intrusive therapy, based on the theory that points on the feet correspond with areas and organs of the body. Reflexology dates back to Ancient Egypt, India and China and is used widely in the UK throughout pregnancy and childbirth.
