Integrated Fertility Programmes
The Brighton & Hove Natural Fertility Centre has been set up by a group of women who feel passionately about fertility. We are committed to providing non-invasive naturopathic treatments to raise your general health and enable your body to find balance and well-being for conception and beyond.
We see fertility in its widest context and work as a team to provide a comprehensive view of your health and fertility. We offer fertility planning, pre-conception care, infertility treatment, pregnancy and post natal support.
We have found that people come with different needs, and therefore require different approaches to their fertility treatment. There is no standard protocol as individual needs are assessed following questionnaire an initial consultation and.
We recognise that an integrated approach offers the opportunity to achieve optimum health with the back up of a full spectrum of treatment options. Integrating complementary therapies and lifestyle support with western medical treatments has been shown to increase the chances of a healthy conception and sustainable pregnancy. As such our programmes have also been developed to work alongside existing western medical treatment such as IVF.
Overview
Prior to the initial consultation you will be sent a questionnaire. This will cover aspects of your medical history, in particular your fertility, as well as questions about your diet and lifestyle.
At the initial consultation you will discuss treatment options with one of our practitioners. The treatment cycle is individualised to your needs and can last from a few weeks to a few months. It will include a variety of complementary therapies. If appropriate you will be referred to other practitioners or clinics for further conventional investigations and/or treatments.
Our treatment programmes can support you through all stages of fertility and may include any one or all of the following therapies:
Acupuncture
Aromatherapy
Homeopathy
Hypnotherapy
Massage
Naturopathy/Herbal Medicine
Reflexology
Yoga
