Today in Australia, an increasing number of women who are trying to get pregnant are for good reason turning to Chinese medicine.
Fertility rates are declining and trying to get pregnant has for many couples become a struggle. This can place an enormous strain on relationships and it is preferable for both partners to be actively involved in the fertility journey.
Bernice has for over two decades helped many couples at all stages of their fertility journey. Working with couples who are trying to conceive naturally, and those who are undergoing IVF treatment.
Couples who are in the pre-conception stage will seek help to optimise their health as they prepare themselves physically and emotionally for parenthood. A treatment plan will typically include good nutrition, mineral and vitamin supplements, Chinese herbs, relaxation techniques and exercise recommendations.
You may already be well down the road on your fertility journey, and undergoing IVF treatment. Bernice can guide you through the process, helping you to understand the many aspects of your treatment and the ways in which Chinese medicine can assist. Your appointments will be aimed at helping you to feel educated and empowered on your fertility journey. Your acupuncture sessions will help to relieve stress and give you the space to refocus.
Many couples feel overwhelmed with the IVF process, and physically challenged by drug protocols, appointments and scans. Bernice understand the huge stresses that you are faced with during this time, and you are encouraged to keep up regular acupuncture appointments.
Any diagnosis of infertility from your specialist is taken into account, and then your hormonal balance and fertility is assessed from within a Chinese medicine diagnostic framework. At each appointment, it is taken into account which stage of your IVF cycle you are at, Bernice also assesses your specific needs on the day, to determine the best way to rebalance your body, and helping you to reconnect with a sense of calmness and balance.
