Fertility acupuncture in Barcelona
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine support when trying to conceive, naturally or alongside assisted reproduction (IVF, IUI).
FertilityHow it helps
How does acupuncture help fertility?
Chinese Medicine has treated fertility problems for centuries. Its approach is to prepare the ground: regulating the menstrual cycle, improving circulation in the pelvis and balancing the hormonal system.
Trying to get pregnant is very stressful, and stress also plays a part. Acupuncture helps reduce anxiety and go through the process more calmly.
If you are having assisted reproduction treatment, acupuncture supports it: we time the sessions to the stages of your treatment (stimulation, egg retrieval and transfer) in line with your schedule.
Cases
Cases we support
We work with women and couples in situations such as:
- Irregular cycles
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Endometriosis
- Low ovarian reserve
- Unexplained infertility
- Preparing for IVF or IUI
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Stress from trying to conceive
Chinese herbal medicine and energetic nutrition are great allies in these cases. I always ask about your medical treatment so that everything is compatible.
Your treatment
How we work on fertility
First visit
We talk about your history, symptoms and habits. I look at your tongue and take your pulse to make a Chinese Medicine diagnosis.
Tailored plan
I suggest an approximate number of sessions and combine the techniques that suit you best.
Treatment
Acupuncture adapted to the phase of your cycle or treatment, moxibustion if indicated, herbal medicine and dietary guidance.
Follow-up
We review your progress at each session and adjust the plan.
With your clinic
Support, not an alternative
Acupuncture doesn’t replace your gynaecologist or fertility clinic: it adds to them. Tell me where you are in the process and we’ll fit the sessions to your schedule.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about fertility acupuncture
Any other questions? Message me on WhatsApp.
When should I start?
Ideally about three months before trying to conceive or starting an IVF cycle, but we can also support you if you’re already in treatment.
Is it compatible with IVF or IUI?
Yes. We time the sessions to the stages of your treatment. Just bring me your schedule.
Can my partner come too?
Of course. Fertility takes two, and we treat men too.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel only slight discomfort, and many feel nothing at all. The needles are very fine, sterile and single-use.
Do you work with health insurers?
No, this is a private practice and we don’t work with health insurance companies.
Shall we talk about your case?
Book online in a minute or message me if you’d like to talk about your case first.
