Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine Psychotherapy
Treatments with Christine Chung
The basic goal of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine is to bring the body back into balance so that we can create the best possible environment for fertilisation, implantation, and progression of a healthy and secure pregnancy. With fertility enhancement for women, the most common goal is to regulate the menstrual cycle, regulate hormones, and decrease emotional stress. For men, it is possible to improve the quality and quantity of sperm and to improve the overall quality of the semen.
Christine specialises in Fertility Enhancement, and has a high success rate with those seeking to get pregnant through natural methods or assisted reproductive therapies (IUI/IVF). She uses very fine needles and a gentle technique, especially suited for those who might be afraid of needles. She also likes to explain what she is doing and why she has selected certain points, thus educating the client and involving her/him in the treatment.
Testimonial: "Whatever concerns I had about needles, they literally melted away under Christine's proficiency and skill in my very first session. I attended for fertility and expected acupuncture to be about as pleasant as a visit to the dentist. I didn't expect such a wonderfully nurturing environment, or to feel so incredibly relaxed during sessions that I didn't want them to end. After one session with Christine, you have a relationship of complete trust and know you're in expert care. It was also only 10 weeks after I started that I found out I was pregnant. For the role she played in that success, and for making 'treatment' something I loved, I thank Christine wholeheartedly."

Chiropractic Care
Treatments with Elizabeth Lim
Chiropractic care prior to conception promotes a more regular menstrual cycle and optimal uterine function. It prepares the body to be strong, supple and as balanced as possible to carry the pregnancy. Many couples who thought they were infertile have been helped by restoring proper nerve supply to reproductive organs.
Your spine is a central highway of nerves. Just as an electrical cord has to be fully plugged in for an appliance to run, your reproductive system will not function properly if the nerves that lead to them are not functioning or are blocked in some way. Chiropractors will identify irritated, pinched or pressed nerves and fix those distortions (called subluxations).
A series of research papers published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research found that chiropractic had positive results treating infertility regardless of the woman's age, number of years infertile, previous medical intervention or health history including miscarriages, blocked fallopian tubes, amenorrhea, colitis, or trauma.
Kingyo Fertility Support Groups
The intention of the group is to create an environment where the participants can receive sufficient emotional support and also provide a safe space to share and explore experiences and feelings.
This process helps people to cope in a healthy way with the consequences of the infertility experience.
A more holistic approach to patient care is believed to improve health outcomes, increase participant and team satisfaction, reduce negative psychosocial reactions and help participants in coming to terms with their experiences.
The next group starts in January 2009. Call 020 7706 1997 by 15th December 2008 to register your place.
