IVF Acupuncture Middlesbrough

Acupuncture For IVF - Middlesbrough

Navigating IVF can be overwhelming, both physically and emotionally. I’m Rachael English, a fertility-focused acupuncturist with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through every stage of their fertility journey. I run two calming, private clinics in Northallerton and Yarm — both just a short drive from Middlesbrough — where I offer personalised acupuncture treatments designed to complement and support IVF cycles.

I’ve had the privilege of training under Naava Carman, one of the leading voices in complex fertility support. I’m one of only a handful of practitioners globally who have completed her advanced training, which focuses on treating challenging reproductive conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, recurrent miscarriage, and reproductive immunology issues. This specialist training has deepened my understanding of how to support even the most complex fertility journeys with skill, sensitivity, and a highly personalised approach.

Acupuncture is increasingly recognised for its benefits in IVF support. It may help by:

• Improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries

• Supporting optimal endometrial thickness for implantation

• Regulating hormones and supporting follicle development

• Reducing stress, anxiety, and cortisol levels throughout the IVF process

• Enhancing embryo transfer outcomes when timed appropriately

Each treatment is tailored to your cycle stage — whether you’re preparing for stimulation, egg collection, transfer, or the two-week wait. I take the time to understand your medical history, emotional wellbeing, and fertility goals, so your plan is grounded in both clinical experience and compassionate care.

If you’re based in or near Middlesbrough and looking for experienced, supportive IVF acupuncture, I’d love to help.
