Using a combination of classic Traditional Chinese Acupuncture as well as techniques based on current scientific research, Suzanna has successfully helped many couples with a variety of fertility issues. Suzanna frequently works with couples using assisted conception techniques such as IVF, providing support, information and improving general health of both partners in the run-up to IVF treatment.
Treatment is specifically tailored for women to each stage in the menstrual cycle, or each stage of their drug protocol for IVF patients. For men, treatment is concentrated on the back and along the legs.
Suzanna also works closely with practitioners at Natural Practices who specialise in diet and nutrition as well as naturopathy. For example, stress and poor nutrition have been linked with infertility and ensuring that the body is optimally nourished is vital for good fertility for both partners.
Nutrition therapy works by giving your body the best possible intake of all the nutrients to allow it to be as healthy as possible and to work as well as it can. When nutrients are deficient in the diet, imbalances occur which may result in imbalances such as poor egg or sperm quality and erratic periods and PMS.
Pregnancy
Suzanna is fully trained in treating women during all three trimesters of pregnancy and has successfully treated threatened miscarriage, morning sickness and uses classic TCM Acupuncture techniques to help induce labour naturally, as well as ‘turning’ breech presentation.
