Do you use moxa or moxibustion during pregnancy if my baby is breech?
Yes, I can safely provide moxa or moxibustion during pregnancy to help turn your breech baby. Please contact me if you would like this treatment, and I will send you a health screening form to complete before making a booking so that I can assess if it safe to treat you and your baby.
​
If it is safe to treat you both, you can book in for your first appointment. I will provide moxa treatment, and may suggest acupuncture treatment, which is all included. If appropriate, I will provide you with instructions and a demonstration of how to use a moxa stick safely at home. I can provide smokeless charcoaled moxa sticks for home use, so that the treatment is more pleasant and less smoky for you.
​
You can read more about the use of moxa for breech babies here.

I am in St Ives for a holiday but need to continue to receive fertility acupuncture, can you help?
If you are on holiday and need to continue on your planned fertility acupuncture treatment plan, I am happy to help! I know the various different protocols and treatment plans that acupuncturists across the UK use to support fertility and I can continue your treatment protocol and plans whilst you are on holiday.
I am happy to receive an email from your regular acupuncturist setting out what treatment needs to be covered whilst you are on holiday. Or, alternatively, I can provide you with a general supportive, nourishing treatment from my own protocols. I will ask you to fill in a health questionnaire before treating you, so that I have my own record and assurance that it is safe to treat you.
​
Please be sure to book in advance of your holiday, to avoid disappointment.
​
New Initial Patient Appointments are £75.
