The first trimester can feel surprisingly lonely.

After everything it can take to get here…
you’re finally pregnant — but instead of feeling held, many women feel:
• Anxious
• Uncertain
• Disconnected from support
• Unsure what’s “normal”
• Cautious about getting too excited

And often… appointments are spaced weeks apart.
This is something I hear all the time in clinic.

✨ Weekly acupuncture treatments during the first trimester can offer:
• Support for common symptoms (nausea, fatigue, headaches)
• Regulation of the nervous system
• A reduction in stress and anxiety
• Gentle support for early pregnancy
• A space to feel heard, reassured and supported

But just as importantly…
It gives you somewhere to land each week.
A moment to pause.
To check in.
To feel looked after during a time that can feel very in-between.
Because early pregnancy isn’t just physical demanding, it’s emotional too.

If you’re in your first trimester and would like ongoing support, you can book online:

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 💛

Notice of Maternity Leave
I'm no longer able to take on new fertility clients, due to my upcoming leave towards the end of July. I'll be reopening my diary for fertility clients from November 2026.

I've arranged with another Fertility Support Trained colleague, Natalia at Creation Acupuncture, for a special offer for my current clients to receive treatments with her during the 3 months I'll be taking off.
Natalia has offered either a monthly plan or a package to cover my entire 12 week break.
£600 for 12 weekly treatments, including a cupping treatment, fertility astrology reading, fertility meditations and a crystal healing session. (£50 per treatment, saving £15 per treatment)
£220 per month for 4 treatments. (£55 per treatment, saving £10 per treatment)

I really appreciate your understanding and hope to see you all again upon my return to clinic!!

A quick note on clinic communication 💛

To ensure I can provide the best possible care to my patients, I keep all clinic communication structured and consistent.

✨ Email is the only monitored and reliable way to contact me.
This allows me to respond thoughtfully and within appropriate timeframes.

During clinic hours, I am with patients and give them my full, uninterrupted attention — which means calls, texts, and WhatsApp messages are not monitored.

You can expect:
• A response within 1 working day via email
• Clear pricing, availability and booking system via website
• Dedicated time during your appointment to discuss your health in detail

Please note:
I’m unable to provide individualised health advice, test interpretation, or recommendations outside of a booked consultation.

This ensures that all advice is safe, appropriate, and tailored to you — which can only be done properly within a clinical setting.

If you’d like support, you’re very welcome to book an appointment online:
✨ www.theacu.co.uk

Thank you for respecting these boundaries — they allow me to show up fully for every patient I work with 💛
