PCOS Clinic

“I had a much better response to IVF, in terms of egg quanitity, when I had acupuncture. I also felt very calm after each session”

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is one of the areas of women's health that Rachael Forrest works with regularly within her natural fertility focused practice. Symptoms such as irregular periods, hormonal fluctuation and difficulty conceiving can be deeply frustrating, and many people find that conventional options do not address everything they would like. A dedicated PCOS clinic offers acupuncture support aimed at hormonal balance and the symptoms that accompany it, with a calm, unhurried setting designed to help you feel at ease from the moment you arrive.

Every acupuncture treatment begins with a full case history at your first appointment, taken together with pulse reading and tongue examination. This traditional approach allows the treatment to be tailored specifically to you rather than following a fixed protocol, which matters greatly in PCOS where symptoms and patterns can vary considerably from person to person. From there, the aim is to support the body's own regulatory systems, addressing both the immediate discomfort of the condition and the wider picture of fertility, sleep, energy and stress.

Acupuncture for PCOS commonly forms part of a broader fertility journey, including support for those preparing for conception or moving through IVF, IUI and ICSI treatment cycles. By improving circulation, easing tension and encouraging relaxation, treatment can help create the most favourable conditions for conception while complementing the medical care you already receive. Rachael works alongside fertility specialists and midwives, so her approach is always complementary to your existing plan of care rather than a replacement for it.

The clinic welcomes anyone with PCOS concerns, whether you are newly diagnosed, managing long-term symptoms, or seeking support with fertility. Appointments are given generous time, so there is space to talk through the process, ask questions and be reassured about the needles before any treatment begins. As with all acupuncture care, the focus is on practical, considered treatment in a professional clinical environment, with a quiet and relaxing atmosphere that helps you leave feeling settled rather than overwhelmed.
