My husband and I had been trying to conceive for 5 years, unsuccessfully, during which I found out that I had cysts on my ovaries and endometriosis. We were eventually referred for IVF. As we began to think about IVF I felt I needed something else to support me and the process. I was recommended to contact Olivia by a friend, this was my first time trying acupuncture and I was quite nervous – I didn’t need to be!
Throughout the lead up to IVF and during the treatment I saw Olivia – she always was so knowledgeable, professional, calm and positive and at every stage spent time making sure she was fully up to date with my results and treatment plan. Olivia supported me with every aspect and gave me invaluable information to enhance my chances of a successful round. She was always there for me to ask questions and she offered support and guidance in between sessions by text. She also arranged for me to have sessions before and after embryo transfer. We were incredibly happy to have a positive pregnancy test following the first round with just 1 embryo! I continued to see Olivia throughout the pregnancy which I found reassuring and allowed me time to relax and think positively, with her support.
We were so happy when we gave birth to a baby boy in May 2018 – I fully believe that the support and care that Olivia gave made all the difference to the positive outcome for us and I would unreservedly recommend Olivia.
