The Period Acupuncturist
Fertility and Menstrual Health Acupuncture in Hertfordshire
Andrea Dewhurst, Lic. Ac is a fertility and menstrual health acupuncturist based near Hitchin, providing clinic appointments in Hertfordshire, mobile appointments across Hertfordshire and Central Bedfordshire, and online fertility support throughout the UK.
I am a specialist in period and fertility acupuncture, supporting women who have been told their symptoms are “within range”, "normal", or “unexplained”, and something they simply have to live with.
I support fertility, IVF, PCOS, menstrual health and hormonal wellbeing from my clinic near Hitchin and across Central Bedfordshire.

How can working with a fertility acupuncturist help me?
Too often, women find me after being told:
-
Their fertility problems are unexplained
-
Period pain that stops them from leaving the house is normal
-
Perimenopausal symptoms are just a life transition
-
Premenstrual rage is just PMS
-
Heavy periods that soak through clothes are not a problem
I am about to become part of your period support team. I am your expert menstrual health advocate and cheerleader, giving you guidance and accountability. From fertility to perimenopause to endometriosis to PCOS and beyond.
-
Actionable, clear guidance: I work using a Fertility Action Plan approach, combining acupuncture, cycle analysis and evidence-based lifestyle support.
-
Listening: There is no medical gaslighting with me. I want to know your whole menstrual health story from puberty onwards. No one knows your body and your signs and symptoms as well as you do. I believe you.
-
Advocacy: I will help you navigate the medical system. Giving you tools to advocate for yourself and your diagnosis and treatment. If I need to write to your GP, I will do that. If I need you to see a nutritionist, I will make sure they know about your case and needs.
-
Expert Guidance: I make it my business to know everything about your menstrual health condition.
-
Accountability: I am here to give you tools and techniques to help support your period transformation. But I will be asking that you take responsibility, too.
-
Commitment: You have my wholehearted commitment to reaching your menstrual health goal.
-
Testing: If I believe you need more information, I will be working with you to understand the best testing, e.g. blood tests, vaginal microbiome, gut microbiome, oral microbiome. This is all done with the one commitment to getting to the root cause of your menstrual health concern.

How Menstrual Awareness Changes Lives
Expression of your health
Your period offers a monthly report card of what is happening with your general health
Cyclical living
Cyclical living allows you to be at your best for where you are in your cycle
Optimal, not normal
You might have been told that pain, mood swings and flooding is normal. Understanding what is optimal will give you the tools to advocate for your general health
Be a detective
By interpreting your periods you can start to understand what is the right treatment for you
"Believe me, there's no such thing as a perfect period or a perfect menstrual cycle. Every woman's cycle is unique and reflects her health, fertility, and life situation."
