Integrated fertility treatments

Your expert acupuncture practitioner & no-nonsense guide

Hey! I’m Nicole, a fully qualified acupuncturist and founder of Prep & Poke - fertility acupuncture and online fertility strategy without the faff. I graduated from the renowned College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading with a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture and I’m Fertility Support Trained, having successfully completed Naava Carman’s Advanced Level Diploma in Fertility Acupuncture. And if you’re wondering what on earth that all actually means, it means I’ve had specialist training in many areas of reproductive health, including IVF and assisted fertility, male fertility, reproductive immunology, pregnancy and blood test interpretation.

I’m also part of the Don’t Tell Me To Relax Team, which means when you work with me, you’ll also have access to an incredible network of fertility professionals. Together, we pull out all the stops to bring you closer to your end goal.

Today, I combine the best of Eastern and Western medicine and fertility know-how to help you understand what’s going on, investigate what matters and prepare properly. Because I’m not just here to poke you with needles – I’m here to help you make sense of your fertility too.

Throughout your treatment plan, I’ll be ready to talk all things periods, cervical mucus, Netflix and chill because at P&P there’s no such thing as TMI when you’re TTC!

Isn’t it weird how little we know about what’s going on inside our own bodies? Like, properly know. When it comes to fertility, knowledge really is power. From what your cervical mucus is telling you to how high your cervix is today, let’s give two fingers to taboos and demystify women’s health from the inside out.

I’m for every woman who wants to take charge of her fertility health and get to know her body better. Whether you’re thinking ahead and prepping for pregnancy, actively trying to conceive, struggling with period problems, beginning your IVF journey, or wanting to make pregnancy feel a little more manageable - I’ve got your back.

By the end of your treatment plan, you’ll be armed with a much better understanding of your fertility - knowledge that you can use again and again and again …
