Experts in Fertility & IVF Acupuncture

We have special interests in IVF support, female and male fertility, women’s health and pregnancy care. Our practitioners assist patients by improving their overall health to increase their fertility success as well as regaining an internal functional balance that allows them to continue with their daily life, whatever their health concerns may be.

Our IVF Support program is tailored to meet each individual IVF treatment regime and patients are supported through every stage of their fertility journey. Our clinic is conveniently located in the same complex as The Fertility Centre, Springwood and offers convenient opening hours that support treatments both before and after IVF procedures.

Spring Acupuncture, Fertility and Pregnancy Clinic offers natural pre-conception and fertility treatment plans for couples who are starting to try for a baby, as well as those that have been struggling to conceive, and do not want to use IVF. Our pre-conception programs assist couples in the months before conception to enhance their chances of falling pregnant naturally, by ensuring optimal physical and psychological fertility health.

Natural fertility assistance is for those couples who have been trying to conceive and want to ensure they have done everything possible before going down the medical intervention path. Our practitioners will establish an individualised treatment program that supports all couples at every stage of fertility.

Pregnancy Support Programs

For our pregnant patients, we offer a natural and effective treatment program to maintain optimal health as your body transitions through each stage of pregnancy. Whether it is morning sickness, breech presentation, avoidance of a medical induction or your hips are feeling a little tight our practitioners offer a safe treatment option to assist during these exciting, but at times overwhelming physical changes.

Alice Whitehouse BHlthSci (Acu)

(Japanese Acupuncturist)

Alice is a registered acupuncturist, specialising in Japanese acupuncture.

Alice was inspired by her family’s own dedication to health and wellness – she comes from a family of nurses, midwives and pathologists. Initially, pursuing the business side of health care, Alice soon recognised this was not her passion.  After enjoying the benefits of acupuncture firsthand, Alice realised this was the path she wanted to follow.  She subsequently enrolled in a Bachelor of Health Science, majoring in acupuncture at the Endeavour College of Natural Health.

Whilst completing her studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Alice supplemented her practice with further studies in Japanese Acupuncture, completing the Foundational Course in Kiiko Matsumoto Style Acupuncture Manaka Treatments Protocols. These subtle styles of acupuncture resonated with Alice’s gentle and caring nature and it quickly became her preference.

Alice has a keen interest in all aspects of health. Treating the whole person is very important to her. Alice has gravitated towards treating male and female sub-fertility.

Alice’s passion for holistic health drives her to continue learning and providing the best care for her clients.

Alice’s Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture)
• Qualified in Kiiko Matsumoto Style Acupuncture
• Qualified in Manaka Treatments Protocols
