Gold Coast’s Trusted Fertility Acupuncture Support
Book AppointmentAre you navigating fertility challenges or preparing for IVF? At Vyne Health, our acupuncture treatments are designed to support your reproductive health journey naturally. Whether you're trying to conceive, undergoing IVF, or seeking to improve hormonal balance, we’re here to walk beside you with personalised, compassionate care.
Our AHPRA-registered acupuncturists, Rachel Volp and Emily Warren, draw on years of clinical experience and postgraduate training in reproductive health from a Chinese Medicine perspective to help support you alongside your fertility goals and desired outcomes. They use evidence-informed Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) techniques to support hormone regulation from a TCM perspective. Their goal is to provide their patients with TCM education and understanding in relation to menstrual cycle health, and key fertility factors such as egg quality, sperm parameters, and emotional wellbeing from the perspective of Chinese Medicine theory.
Clinically we have patients present with ailments regarding hormone balance, it is our passion to understand the balance of their follicular phase and luteal phase, and thyroid health from a Chinese Medicine Perspective. We then strive to educate our patients on menstrual cycle health, blood flow and endometrial lining health from a TCM dietetic perspective. It is at this stage, we might collaborate with integrative GP’s, naturopaths or Dieticians to ensure we are looking at your health history, egg and sperm health or testing from a holistic perspective, for both male fertility and female fertility.
Other educational resources we like to share with those wishing to conceive naturally, or learn more about their menstrual cycle health prior to conceiving, include basal body temperature (BBT) tracking and pattern recognition. Other key factors we highlight are observations and understanding cervical mucus changes or patterns throughout the follicular and luteal phases to help learn more about ovulation from a TCM perspective.
Another question we get asked is around embryo transfer, and if we offer acupuncture treatments in relation to transfers. Yes, at Vyne Health, we do offer pre and post embryo transfer acupuncture treatments, however our focus is on support for the whole-person, throughout the journey, knowing that the days leading up to transfer, or on the day of transfer, are more about supporting the persons mental, emotional and physical health so they feel supported. We do constitution acupuncture treatments, based on tongue and pulse analysis, ensuring we deliver a session, in real time, that supports the patient and their needs in the moment. We deem understanding the stress that might be involved and the emotional support throughout natural fertility, or assisted fertility journeys, the most important.
If you have an upcoming IVF transfer, and would like support, we can be flexible with our scheduling to suit your cycle or IVF protocol i.e. days prior or same-day IVF transfer acupuncture appointments. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions regarding;
- Pre-transfer acupuncture
- Post-transfer acupuncture
- General acupuncture enquiries
If you’re working with a fertility specialist, we can align your treatment with your IVF protocol and provide continuity of care in between clinical appointments. Again, it is important to note, all of our acupuncture treatments are based on understanding your constitutional TCM diagnosis and pattern via tongue and pulse analysis and provide support to the ‘whole’ self.
Some health practitioners may recommend acupuncture as an adjunct treatment that may assist with IVF treatment. There is continuing research about how acupuncture can assist with the effectiveness of IVF treatment. You should consult your treatment practitioner(s) about how acupuncture may be able to help you. Upon enquiry, our team will guide you based on your cycle, current treatment plan, and health history.
