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.

Herbal medicine is getting easier to take 🌿
Let’s be honest – the taste is often the hardest part of herbal medicine. The good news? You now have options.
✨ My standard prescriptions are dried herbal granules – around 3x stronger than raw herbs, gram for gram.
✨ Prefer no taste at all? You can request encapsulated herbs (gelatin or vegan) for £10 extra.
✨ Want something quicker than making a tea? Your granules can be made into tablets for £3 extra – same herbs, just faster and easier.
Herbal support, your way 💚
Recently, I’ve been getting enquiries regarding last minute IVF support. This is my standard answer to the question. I’m always happy to support you at any stage of your journey, however the expectations from the treatments will vary greatly depending on how many treatments you’re able to attend and receive.
✨ Clinic Update ✨
I’m currently switching my booking system over to Jane. During the transition over the next couple of weeks, you may receive duplicate confirmations or reminders — thank you for your patience, and my apologies for any inconvenience.
Jane will allow you to book, reschedule or cancel appointments through your own secure profile, as well as access invoices and appointment information from day one once your account is live.
Thank you for your understanding while I make this improvement 💛
Christmas 2025 Clinic Hours 🎄
I’ll be staying open as much as possible over the Christmas period to continue supporting those I’m currently working with. Aside from Christmas Day, I’ll be offering reduced clinic hours, so availability will be more limited than usual.
If you’re hoping to book an appointment over the coming weeks, I’d encourage you to book ahead to secure a time that suits you and avoid disappointment.
Wishing you a wonderfully festive season. ☃
Today, we’ve harvested our sunchokes (Jerusalem artichokes) and got SO many from the 3 we planted in the spring. We filled a whole bucket!
Have you tried them? Any recommendations of recipes? We’re roasting this one tonight - starting small…
Some info on sunchokes:
• Supports a healthy gut due to its high inulin content
• Helps with blood sugar balance
• Naturally rich in potassium
• Can aid fullness and appetite control
• Low glycaemic index despite a sweet taste
However, it can cause gas and bloating when you first add them to your diet, if your gut isn’t used to a high prebiotic load.
105 mm needles being removed after a spine treatment today. This session was for chronic back pain, and alongside other key acupuncture points we worked along all of the Back-Shu points using a technique called threading. This involves using a single longer needle to glide under the skin along the length of the spine, rather than lots of separate insertions.
My patient reported no discomfort, a deep sense of relaxation, better flexibility, and a noticeable reduction in pain afterwards.
Treatments like this can be incredibly supportive for ongoing back issues, especially when muscles and channels are tight or reactive.
If you’d like to learn more or book in, you can find all the details on my website. Laura x #chineseherbalmedicine #suttoncoldfield #acupuncture
