Fertility & IVF Support

Compassionate, experienced support for every stage of your fertility journey.

Trying for a baby can be one of life's most emotional experiences. Whether you've only recently started trying, have been struggling for several years, are preparing for IVF, or have experienced miscarriage, the uncertainty can feel exhausting.

At The Haven Health Clinic, we understand that fertility is about far more than hormones and test results. It affects every aspect of your life—your emotions, your relationships, your confidence and your wellbeing.

Our aim is to support you with evidence-informed complementary therapies that help optimise your health while providing a calm, supportive environment throughout your journey.

Specialist Fertility Acupuncture with Nicola Renovich

Clinical Director Nicola Renovitch has over 20 years' experience as a Chinese Medicine practitioner and spent more than a decade specialising in fertility and reproductive health. She has helped hundreds of couples who have been trying to conceive naturally, as well as many undergoing IVF and assisted conception.

Every treatment begins with a thorough consultation to understand your health as a whole. Rather than treating fertility as an isolated problem, Chinese medicine looks for the underlying patterns that may be affecting your ability to conceive.

Treatment may include acupuncture and, where appropriate, individually prescribed Chinese herbal medicine.

Nicola regularly supports people experiencing:

Many people also choose to continue treatment during early pregnancy for ongoing support.

Acupuncture During IVF

IVF can be physically and emotionally demanding.

Many people choose acupuncture alongside their fertility treatment because it offers dedicated time to relax while supporting their wellbeing throughout the process. Treatments are carefully timed around your IVF cycle and tailored to your individual stage of treatment.

Alongside supporting your physical health, many patients tell us that acupuncture gives them a greater sense of calm, helping them feel more in control during what can often be an emotionally challenging experience.

Reflexology

Fertility journeys can place enormous strain on both body and mind. Reflexology offers a deeply relaxing treatment that encourages the body to unwind, helping reduce stress and promote a sense of balance and wellbeing.

Many clients choose reflexology alongside acupuncture as part of a holistic approach to supporting their fertility journey.

Massage Therapy

Stress and muscle tension often build up during fertility treatment, particularly during IVF cycles.

Gentle therapeutic massage can help relieve physical tension, improve relaxation and provide valuable time to reconnect with yourself. Many clients find regular massage an important part of maintaining their emotional wellbeing throughout treatment.

A Whole-Person Approach

We know that no two fertility journeys are the same.

Some people come to us after only a few months of trying. Others have experienced years of disappointment, failed IVF cycles or pregnancy loss.

Whatever stage you're at, you'll be treated with compassion, sensitivity and respect. Our role is to support your physical and emotional wellbeing, helping you feel cared for throughout your journey.

Begin Your Journey

If you're trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF or looking for additional support during fertility treatment, we'd be delighted to help.

Testimonials

I came to [Nicola] for fertility support, after 2 years for trying for a baby. We sought medical help via the G.P.  And acupuncture alongside, at the time for both my husband and I.

For me, I felt our initial conversation was really significant to me, for the first time in my life I opened up about my 'lifestyle'... I conceived within six weeks to a healthy little girl and had an amazing pregnancy...

I came to you (Nicola) for fertility support, after 2 years for trying for a baby. We sought medical help via the G.P.  And acupuncture alongside, at the time for both my husband and I.

For me, I felt our initial conversation was really significant to me, for the first time in my life I opened up about my ‘lifestyle’. I believed I was mad because I had to constantly live on Imodium tablets, sometimes taking 3 a day. When you suggested I remove wheat from my diet, initially I was reluctant, however it was my answer. I wasn’t mad after all, I conceived within six weeks to a healthy little girl and had an amazing pregnancy.

2 years 9 months later, we welcomed our second baby into the family and four months ago, we had our third baby. Whilst we had sought help via the medical route, all three conceptions were entirely natural and intervention free and we returned to standard midwifery care during the pregnancies.
I don’t know what happened during that time, all I know, I got more than the outcome I desired and still to this day, cannot entertain wheat.

Having acupuncture was a really calming experience and felt like a positive thing to do while undergoing fertility treatment.

Project Manager

Although originally feeling rather sceptical about the use of acupuncture, having undergone multiple failed cycles of IVF, I decided to ask Nicola for help. She performed weekly sessions of acupuncture and provided me with lots of advice, as well as a friendly ear. Shortly after, we had a successful round of IVF and now have a beautiful daughter. I really believe her treatment helped us conceive and would truly recommend Nicola to anyone. We thank her so much for all her help during a very difficult journey.
