World-leading experts in complementary therapies
Our Holistic Expertise
At Zita West Clinic, we consider ourselves fortunate to collaborate with world-leading experts in various complementary therapies.
Some of these experts have been working with us for up to 20 years, bringing their invaluable experience to our approach to IVF. By combining their expertise with our holistic approach, we strive to make a genuine difference in the lives of patients embarking on an IVF journey.
Acupuncture for IVF
Acupuncture is a technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points of the body. It can significantly benefit individuals undergoing IVF by improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, enhancing the delivery of essential nutrients and oxygen for optimal egg and sperm development.
Additionally, acupuncture helps regulate hormone levels, reducing stress and anxiety often associated with fertility treatments. By promoting relaxation and reducing stress, acupuncture can create an environment conducive to successful embryo implantation and pregnancy.
Nutrition and nutritional therapy for IVF
Nutrition plays a crucial role in fertility and can significantly impact IVF success rates. Nutritional therapy aims to optimise dietary intake by ensuring individuals receive essential nutrients vital for reproductive health.
By addressing nutritional deficiencies and supporting hormonal balance, nutritional therapy can improve egg and sperm quality, enhance embryo development, and increase the likelihood of successful IVF outcomes.
Moreover, adopting a healthy diet can boost overall health and well-being, providing individuals with the energy and vitality needed to navigate the challenges of the IVF process.
Counselling and emotional support for IVF
Trying to conceive can be stressful. Anyone facing the fear and uncertainty associated with invasive investigations and treatment can experience a wide range of emotions including: anger, fear, frustration, envy, guilt, negativity, lack of confidence, loss of control and low self-esteem. Some people feel isolated from friends and family, and couples may find it difficult to relate to each other.
We firmly believe in the role of fertility counselling as an integral part of treatment.
Hypnotherapy for IVF
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that utilizes relaxation and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of suggestibility. It offers valuable support to individuals undergoing IVF by helping them manage stress, anxiety, and negative emotions that may arise during the fertility treatment journey.
Through guided relaxation techniques and positive suggestion, hypnotherapy can reduce stress hormone levels, promote emotional well-being, and enhance the body's receptivity to IVF treatments.
Additionally, hypnotherapy can address subconscious beliefs or fears related to fertility, empowering individuals to cultivate a positive mindset and increase their confidence in the IVF process. By harnessing the power of the mind-body connection, hypnotherapy can optimise IVF outcomes and improve the overall treatment experience.
By incorporating these complementary therapies into the IVF process, individuals can optimise their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being, thereby increasing their chances of achieving successful IVF outcomes.
Each therapy offers unique support that work synergistically to support fertility, enhance treatment efficacy, and improve overall quality of life during the IVF journey. These therapies are included as bundles that you don’t have to pay extra for during your treatment, they are a core part of how the Zita West Clinic works.
