Fertility & Pregnancy
Fertility & pregnancy support
Acupuncture and naturopathy for preconception, IVF support, pregnancy care and postnatal recovery, whatever stage you’re at.
Fertility, pregnancy and the months either side ask a lot of your body. At Sprout we work with women through the whole of it, preconception and fertility, then pregnancy, then into postpartum recovery, which is the bit that tends to get forgotten.
Some women see us for acupuncture in our Paradise Point clinic on the Gold Coast, some work with our naturopath online, and plenty do both, it really depends on where you’re at. The pages below break it down by stage, and if you’re not sure which fits, a free 10-minute call is the easiest way to work it out.

Common questions
Do I see an acupuncturist or a naturopath?
Both are options and they do different things. Acupuncture is in person at our Paradise Point clinic, something we offer alongside other support for blood flow, cycle regularity and the nervous system. Naturopathy is online with Hannah Ward, who has a Masters in Reproductive Medicine, and that side looks at nutrition, herbal medicine and functional testing. A lot of women pick one, and plenty do both.
Can I combine acupuncture and naturopathy?
Yes, and a lot of women do. The two work well together, acupuncture on the physical and nervous system side, naturopathy on what’s going on underneath with your hormones and nutrition. You don’t have to do both though, it’s totally up to you, and we’ll help you work out what makes sense for your situation.
Do I need to be on the Gold Coast?
For acupuncture, yes, that’s in person at our Paradise Point clinic. Naturopathy is online with Hannah and works anywhere in Australia, so preconception, pregnancy and postpartum naturopathic care can all happen from wherever you are.
When should I start?
There’s no wrong time. For fertility a lot of women start a few months before they begin trying, or before an assisted cycle, because an egg takes around 90 days to mature. For pregnancy, women come to us at every stage, from the early weeks right through to getting ready for birth.
