Where are you on
your journey?
Thinking about IVF?
In the past few years, leading doctors around the world have recommended acupuncture as an adjuvant therapy for IVF to increase the chances for a successful outcome and to help patients cope with side effects. An extensive clinical trial I conducted while working in London yielded significant results supporting this conclusion, as has my experience with a vast number of patients. Now I am offering you, here in Israel, acupuncture to support your fertility treatment, according to the medical protocol prescribed for you by your doctor, while working closely with him.
I’m here for you
It’s been scientifically proven that acupuncture contributes to successful IVF rates

For three years, I led a clinical trial at the Homerton Fertility Centre in London, which studied the effects of acupuncture on the success of IVF procedures and live births. The results of the study, published in the journal Fertility Science and Research, demonstrated that the group of women treated with acupuncture while undergoing IVF experienced significantly more pregnancies and live births. The study conclusions recommended treatment with acupuncture as an adjuvant therapy for IVF to improve success rates.

I’ll accompany you throughout all stages of the IVF procedure, from the moment you decide:
I’ll explain the protocol that has been chosen for you by your doctor, and all phases of the procedure you will be undergoing.
I’ll prepare you for the procedure using acupuncture, so that you start out with your hormones balanced and in optimal physical and mental condition.
I’ll treat you with acupuncture throughout the various phases, taking the type of protocol (long or short) into account and tailoring the treatment to your blood test results and other indices, such as assessment of the follicles in your ovaries and monitoring endometrial thickness. In the ovarian stimulation stage I will use acupuncture to pump blood into your ovaries to stimulate creation of a large number of follicles of good size and quality, and also before the eggs are harvested, adding acupuncture points that affect the nervous system so that you are calm and relaxed during the egg retrieval process.
On the day of the embryo transfer, acupuncture has been scientifically proven to be highly effective and important! I’ll treat you before and after the transfer, stimulating blood flow to the uterus to increase endometrial thickness, which is vital for the embryo to implant.
I’ll be right by your side
Women consider IVF for different reasons, be it age or a medical condition.
What is most important to you is to feel you are ready, understand the process and control the various stages, and are able to arm yourself with the right coping tools and maximize your chances of success!
I’m here to explain and prepare you for the process, to support and advise you throughout, to boost its success with acupuncture, to sustain you physically and emotionally, and mainly, to enable you not to be stressed by the process, but to be excited by it!
I have many years of experience in supporting patients along their IVF journey, but the feedback I get about how acupuncture helped them cope with fertility treatments never fails to move me. To me, there is nothing more heartwarming than hearing words like, “On my second IVF I had acupuncture – and what a difference! This time, I had absolutely no side effects”!
