Fertility Acupuncture
& IVF Support. Melbourne
Melbourne's most experienced fertility acupuncturist and IVF support specialist, with twenty years of clinical practice dedicated entirely to reproductive medicine. What I see, again and again, is women and couples arriving who haven't had the right blood tests. Whose results haven't been read correctly. Who have been told everything looks normal when it isn't. Who have been handed a diagnosis without a pathway, or no diagnosis at all.
This is where I begin. Not from the standard workup, but from a complete, integrative picture of your fertility health, cycle, hormones, your history, and your body's deeper intelligence. The missing piece is almost always there. We find it together.
Fertility is a monthly conversation your body is having. As a holistic fertility acupuncturist, my role is to listen to that conversation and to work with your body's own intelligence to create the conditions in which new life can thrive.
Whether you are seeking fertility acupuncture in Melbourne for natural conception, or IVF acupuncture support alongside your clinic, the integrative LAMMB Method brings both together

The IVF & Acupuncture Protocol MelbOURNE
IVF Acupuncture Melbourne. The Cycle-Specific Protocol
IVF acupuncture in Melbourne is one of the most evidence-supported integrative interventions available to women undergoing IVF. The role of Dr Amanda's integrative approach is to stand alongside your fertility specialist. Optimising your body's physiology at every stage of the process, from stimulation through to the two-week wait.
Preconception health directly influences fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and the long-term health of the child. Research confirms that maternal nutritional status, stress levels, and environmental exposures in the preconception period have measurable epigenetic effects on offspring health.
Whether trying for a week or two years, navigating fertility solo or with a partner, pursuing natural conception or preparing for IVF. Wherever the starting point, the missing piece is waiting to be found.

Conception begins before you start creating
