Fertility Acupuncture in Auckland

Our acupuncturists see people who are trying to conceive naturally and people going through IVF or IUI. Care is led by Dr. Robin Won, registered with the Chinese Medicine Council of New Zealand under the statutory Specialist Scope, with Ada Zhong and Dr. Boram Kim, who both focus on women's health. Consultations are available in English, Korean and Mandarin, at Rosedale and Milford, 7 days a week.

Who we see

Women and couples trying to conceive, people preparing for or going through IVF, IUI or egg freezing, and people who want support with cycle regularity. Many come alongside care from their fertility clinic or GP, and we work around that plan.

How we support you

Trying naturally

Regular sessions timed to your cycle, with attention to sleep, stress and lifestyle habits that you can work on between visits.

Alongside IVF

We time sessions around your clinic's schedule, including before and after embryo transfer, and keep to what your specialist advises.

Whole-person care

Acupuncture can be combined with cupping, moxibustion and, where appropriate, Chinese herbal medicine from a registered practitioner.

What a session involves

Every plan is individual. A typical course looks like this:

  • First consultation: health and cycle history, current fertility treatment, and your goals.
  • Treatment plan: most people come weekly, with timing adjusted to your cycle or IVF dates.
  • Treatment: fine sterile single-use needles, usually 30 to 45 minutes in a quiet room.
  • Review: we check in regularly and adjust the plan as your treatment changes.
Acupuncture works alongside medical fertility care, not instead of it. Keep your fertility specialist and GP informed, and tell us about any medicines you are taking.
