If you are looking for fertility or menstrual-cycle acupuncture in Hitchin, I offer clinic-based treatments from Lidder Therapies in Little Wymondley, just outside Hitchin, with easy access and free parking.
What's included:
- A 45-minute consultation that will discuss both parties' health

-
- Lifestyle (includes sleep, movement, diet, supplements, mental health, and household)

- Vaginal/seminal microbiome
- One supportive check-in message after a week
Before your appointment
- Complete the health form and terms and conditions of booking.
- We will discuss sperm in your initial consultation (here are some of the points I am interested in, if you want to get any answers beforehand).
- Please share any test results, e.g. blood tests, sperm analysis, ultrasound scans, already received before your appointment, so that I can review them
These must be completed at least 48 hours before your appointment.
My prices are £115 for 90 minutes. Alternatively, my packages start at:
- £243 for 3 treatments (1x 90 minutes and 2x 60 minutes) which saves £26 vs individual prices.
- If you block book 6 treatments (1x 90 minutes and 5x 60 minutes), this saves you £100 (vs individual prices), and this costs £400.
To ensure efficient scheduling, I reserve the right to adjust your booking time by 30-60 minutes. By confirming your slot, you acknowledge this potential adjustment. For enquiries, please contact [email protected].
About Andrea
I’m Andrea, an acupuncturist specialising in fertility and menstrual health, in Hitchin and across Hertfordshire and Central Bedfordshire.
I support couples with IVF, unexplained infertility and cycle regulation, as well as menstrual health concerns, including PCOS, endometriosis, PMDD and perimenopause.
My work combines acupuncture with detailed cycle analysis and evidence-based lifestyle support. I’m passionate about helping people feel less overwhelmed by fertility information online and more confident in what actually matters for their body. I often describe my approach as structured and “detective-style” looking at patterns, symptoms and cycle signs to create a personalised plan that feels practical and doable.
I first came across acupuncture in 2016 when my GP recommended it during a period of depression, which was later diagnosed as Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). That experience had a huge impact on me and shaped the way I now practise: with care, advocacy, and a deep respect for how complex reproductive health can be.
I offer a calm and supportive space where patients feel listened to, informed and guided, whether they are trying to conceive, preparing for IVF, or simply wanting to feel more at home in their cycle again.

I cannot recommend Andrea highly enough. From the moment I started working with her, she made me feel completely cared for and supported. At the time I was struggling with a couple different hormone imbalances and my husband and I were trying to have a baby so I wanted to try and sort them out. Andrea not only helped us massively on the hormone support front, she also eased my nerves massively and she was a supportive, listening ear throughout our journey. She not only provided amazing accupuncture treatments but she also went above and beyond and make little packs (completely personalised) for myself (with recommendations for my husband too) to help support us in our journey. These packs came with possible diagnoses, recommendations and diagrams / information as well. Andrea was very dedicated in helping me balance my hormones. She changed what she did every week depending on where I was in my cycle (luteal, follicular etc..) in order to support the different phases. Her knowledge, ki

Would highly recommend using Andrea if trying to get pregnant, with her assistance during my IVF cycle, combined with PCOS struggles she helped me finally get a positive pregnancy test in Oct 2025 after a 4 year struggle. She's incredibly warm, friendly and professional. A great experience!

I cannot recommend Andrea enough! I started seeing Andrea to help regulate my cycles and support me in my fertility journey. From the first phone call, it was very clear how knowledgable, professional and approachable Andrea was which immediately put me at ease. After the initial appointment, she also compiled lots of personalised guidance which was extremely useful for myself and my partner. Within every session, it really stood out to me how warm and caring Andrea was- every conversation was handled with great sensitivity. I am very happy to say me and my partner are now in the early stages of pregnancy which I know has a lot to do with Andrea’s support and brilliant acupuncture. If you are wondering whether to go ahead with acupuncture, it has been really marvellous for me, and Andrea has been wonderful! Thank you so much!

Andrea was amazing! I started having acupuncture for fertility reasons and wasn’t sure what to expect but she put my mind at ease and explained things so well. I feel like I made a friend along the way too as she’s really easy to talk to. I’m now 8 weeks pregnant so will be forever grateful for Andrea and the wonders of acupuncture :)

Andrea was very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. Andrea made me feel comfortable from our first meeting and throughout all of our sessions. I had acupuncture to supplement my fertility journey and am so pleased to say we were successful in conceiving. I am so very thankful to Andrea and her expertise. She was able to share her intellect and support me through getting the tests and information required to be able to build my profile and work on the areas of health that I required. The acupuncture itself was always a relaxing experience and Andrea adapted each session to how my body presented and what was needed during that particular session. Each session was scheduled around the stages of my cycle and what Andrea wanted to work on for me during that phase. My partner and I are eternally grateful for what Andrea helped us achieve.

I can’t recommend Andrea highly enough! I started seeing her to help regulate my periods and support ovulation, and the improvements I’ve experienced have been amazing. After dealing with irregular cycles for a long time, I finally feel like my body is back in balance. Andrea is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, but what really stands out is how warm and friendly she is. From the first session, she made me feel completely comfortable and genuinely cared for specially as someone who is not a huge fan of needles. She took the time to listen, asked thoughtful questions, and created a treatment plan tailored specifically to my needs. She didn't only ask all about myself as her patient but also my partner and really made me realise how important it is that we look into him. Without Andrea's knowledge we would of not known all the info we know now and super grateful! Each session is not only effective but also deeply relaxing—I always leave feeling more grounded and in tune with my b
