Hi! My name is Laura.
Welcome to Laura The Acupuncturist, where your reproductive health is supported with expert care, compassion, and holistic treatments. I specialise in fertility and reproductive health, using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to help support you in reaching your goal. Whether you’re looking to conceive, preparing for IVF, or managing reproductive health issues, the TCM approach aims to create balance and support you on your unique journey.
I work with individuals and couples to improve fertility outcomes, using evidence-based protocols for natural conception or assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. During your comprehensive initial consultation, we will assess your diet, lifestyle, and environment to provide personalised recommendations, including any necessary medical testing. As a medical phlebotomist, I can arrange blood work privately or guide you on accessing relevant tests through the NHS.
With over a decade of experience, I am committed to supporting those facing fertility and reproductive challenges. I hold a BSc Honours in Acupuncture and an MSc in Chinese Herbal Medicine, am a member of their respective regulatory bodies and I am working on my advanced diploma in fertility support. I have also conducted research on Chinese herbal medicine’s impact on male-factor fertility, ensuring my practice is grounded in both tradition and modern fertility science.

Q: Is Chinese Herbal Medicine safe?
A: It’s such an important question, and one I take very seriously.
The research (including recent safety reviews and PubMed studies) shows that:
✨ When prescribed correctly, Chinese Herbal Medicine is generally safe
⚠️ But like any form of medicine, it can cause issues if used in the wrong way, in the wrong person, or at the wrong time...
This is why working with a qualified practitioner really matters!
In my clinic, I always:
• Take a full, detailed health history, including prescription, over-the-counter and recreational drug usage before prescribing herbal medicine
• Screen for any liver conditions or ongoing medical treatments
• Avoid herbs that may not be appropriate for you
• Use only high-quality, tested herbal suppliers
• Adjust prescriptions based on you - it is not a one-size-fits-all approach
If you are currently dealing with liver concerns, abnormal liver function tests, or undergoing medical treatment, I will either adapt your treatment carefully or advise against herbs where appropriate.
Your safety always comes first 🤍
Chinese Herbal Medicine is powerful, and when used responsibly, it can be incredibly supportive. But it should never be taken casually or without proper guidance.
If you’re unsure whether herbs are right for you, I’m always happy to talk it through during your consultation.

A quick update on clinic payments 💛
To keep things running smoothly for both you and me, all appointments are now required to be paid before or at the time of your session.
In the past, I’ve tried to be flexible with payments — however, this has unfortunately led to delays and time spent chasing outstanding balances, which isn’t something I’m able to continue alongside clinic hours.
This small change helps me:
• Stay fully present in your appointments
• Keep the clinic running efficiently
• Avoid administrative follow-up after sessions and having to become a debt collector
✨ Payments can be made easily via bank transfer or through your confirmation email or appointment reminder emails.
If you currently have an outstanding balance, I’d be very grateful if you could arrange payment at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping support a small, independent clinic 💛
