Approach to Fertility Care
Josh takes a holistic, whole-person approach to treatment. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, he works to understand the underlying patterns that may be affecting reproductive health. Treatments are tailored to each individual and may support:
Natural conception
IVF and assisted reproductive treatments
Hormonal balance and menstrual cycle regulation
Conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis
Stress and emotional wellbeing during fertility journeys
Consultations emphasise deep listening and personalised care, creating a supportive space where patients feel heard and guided throughout their journey.
Josh blends several acupuncture traditions, including Classical Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Five Element approaches, allowing treatment plans to be adapted to the complex needs often seen in fertility cases.
