Bio
Welcome! My name is Laura. I am an acupuncturist and Chinese medicine herbalist with clinics in Sutton Coldfield and Lichfield. I have over a decade of experience and work with people from all walks of life, particularly those with fertility issues, anxiety and hormonal imbalances. I have a BSc Honours (Acu) and an MSc (Herbs) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I have undertaken advanced courses in fertility, have conducted and written a research paper specifically looking into male-factor fertility and am currently working toward an advanced diploma in fertility support. I have also spent a month working in a hospital in Nanjing, China practicing acupuncture in the in-patient and out-patients wards, as well as hosting Chinese herbal medicine clinics alongside famous Chinese medicine doctors in the hospital. I work with couples or individuals to optimise their chances of conceiving naturally or through IVF and follow evidence-based protocols and guidance. During your comprehensive initial consultation, together we work through your diet, lifestyle and environment and I can advise if further medical testing may be required. I am a medical phlebotomist and can arrange blood work and other testing privately or suggest what may be necessary if you can access it through the NHS (although this would need to be arranged through your general practitioner). Over the years, I have worked with many couples and individuals. Natural medicine can be a slower route, as it focuses on the cause of your issues and symptoms and addresses them from the root. I have confidence that with patience and perseverance, we can work together to optimise your chances of achieving your goals.
