"After my pregnancy finished and I stopped breastfeeding, my endometriosis symptoms returned and I was experiencing heavy, irregular and painful periods. I had used acupuncture previously when going through IVF and came to Lily when we moved from London to the local area. We were hoping to conceive again and I wanted a practitioner who was an expert in fertility and treating pregnant women.

I began seeing Lily every couple of weeks and at various times of my cycle and have been seeing her since 2015. She immediately put me at ease and her qualifications and expertise are second to none. Her care was very helpful. Even a small number of sessions with Lily regulated my cycle. I fell pregnant quickly when we began trying to conceive, but unfortunately experienced three consecutive miscarriages. Lily again helped my cycle return to normal after the miscarriages and then supported me in my current successful pregnancy (currently 31 weeks).

Lily is an outstanding practitioner. I would recommend her (and have done) to anyone whose needs have not been met with treatment using Western medicine."

Infertility and IVF support

"We came to Lily after 4 unsuccessful IVf cycles and unexplained infertility. I was due to start 5th IVF cycle and wanted to give my body the best chance.

Lily was extremely knowledgeable, very calming and helpful. It helped me to relax and feel informed for my IVF treatment. Even though IVF was unsuccessful, my time with Lily was invaluable. It was like therapy , relaxation and she understood the jargon from my notes and was able to really advise and explain things clearly to me. "

Infertility & IVF

"My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 3 years. I decided to try acupuncture following an article released in the BMJ showing an association with increased success rates of IVF alongside acupuncture. I also wanted to use it for relaxation.

My IVF worked first time! I found the sessions very relaxing - it was good to have some time out. Lily was also a fantastic listener!"
