Fertility acupuncture
Gavin is one of Chelsea Natural Health’s most sought-after practitioners for fertility support. He has helped many patients conceive – including those who had experienced multiple miscarriages and found little support through the NHS. His approach combines constitutional acupuncture with Chinese herbal medicine, addressing the root causes of fertility difficulties rather than treating symptoms in isolation. Acupuncture is frequently used alongside IVF cycles to support egg quality, implantation and reduce stress. Read more about acupuncture at Chelsea Natural Health.
Chinese herbal medicine
Gavin regularly combines acupuncture with individually prescribed Chinese herbal medicine where this will enhance clinical outcomes. Herbal remedies are prescribed at an additional cost to the consultation and session fee – see the price guide for details.
