Fertility Acupuncture in Naas
Kate is a TCMCI-registered acupuncturist with over 25 years of experience, and a member of Zita West's national fertility and pregnancy network.
I customise fertility treatment plans for every stage of a woman's journey toward motherhood. Whether you are trying to conceive naturally, or via IUI or IVF, I consider the unique constitution of each patient to develop treatment plans that foster success.
Embarking on IVF - or any fertility treatment - can be a very demanding and stressful experience. I provide the right physical, nutritional, and emotional support to minimise the stress and enhance your overall wellbeing.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has enhanced fertility for thousands of years. Because acupuncture and herbal medicine can strongly influence the reproductive and endocrine systems, it can help address a wide variety of women's health concerns that hinder fertility.
Very few women are truly infertile. Most women who have been given a diagnosis of 'infertility' are merely out of balance. I help women identify and address these imbalances to promote and maintain a healthy pregnancy.
If you're interested in fertility acupuncture, contact me to discuss how I can help.

How Acupuncture Can Improve Fertility
Acupuncture is able to increase the chances of pregnancy through natural conception, IVF & IUI. It has been shown to:
- Regulate and stabilise hormone levels
- Help produce more follicles
- Increase blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
- Improve the quality of eggs produced
- Reduce uterine contractions after IVF embryo transfer
- Reduce the side effects of hormonal stimulation drugs
- Lessen the chance of miscarriage
- Improve sperm count, motility and quality
- Reduce stress and anxiety associated with infertility
- Help women with PCOS, endometriosis and irregular cycles
Supporting IVF Treatment
Acupuncture has become a popular complementary therapy to support IVF treatment. Research has shown that acupuncture before and after embryo transfer can improve implantation rates and the chances of a successful pregnancy.
I work alongside your medical team to provide supportive treatments that complement your IVF protocol. Flexible appointment times are available for IVF cycles, helping you fit treatment around your schedule.
Already undergoing IVF? See the dedicated IVF Acupuncture Support page for cycle-specific information and frequently asked questions.
