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.

Let me reintroduce myself. There has been a huge influx of new clients so far this year, so I'd like to take the time to show my appreciation for their trust in my clinic and practice of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. We've been getting a getting a lot of positive results and feedback - ranging from fertility struggles, pregnancy support, labour induction, digestive issues, MSK pain and stress.
Hi, I'm Laura The Acupuncturist.
I trained at NCA in York TWICE. My first degree is in Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and after a few years of travelling and practicing acupuncture, I went back to get my Masters in Chinese Herbal Medicine. Since adding herbs to my practice, I have seen such a huge jump in the range of conditions I can successfully treat. My clinic ethos is to ensure you are comfortable and feel heard, and that we work together to provide you with the best treatment plan we can, to return you to health or help you achieve your goals as soon as we can. Acupuncture and herbs may seem to work like magic, but they certainly aren't magic. All of my treatments are evidence-based medicine driven - I love my mantra 'Backed by research. Driven by care.'
In my clinic, conversation is often about poo and discharge, so your hairy legs are definitely not something you need to worry about. I like to get to know you as a person too, so I can ensure you walk in feeling like a friend, I'll definitely learn your dogs name, and maybe even your partners!
Outside of clinic, I'm pretty much constantly surrounded by animals. I have a beautiful Jack Russell named Bridget, a cheeky cuddly cat named Bernard and 6 chickens from the British Hen Welfare Trust. I love true crime documentaries and reading murder mystery books. I have a wonderfully supportive fiancé and a baby on the way, so I'll be out of clinic for a few months from July-time.
As I work predominantly with people on their fertility journeys, I have spent many years researching and studying, gaining advanced diplomas specifically in my passion - Fertility Support Acupuncture and Herbs.
Here’s to more healing, laughter, and maybe a little magic (the research-backed kind 😉).
💛 Laura
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.
