    Who are the best natural therapists in melbourne to see?

    HI there,

    I am looking for the best natural therapists in melbourne to see? I have been trying to fall pregnant for 1 1/2 years, had endometriosis so had a laparoscopy early this year to remove. Been trying naturally ever since with no luck and now on my first month of clomid. Can someone guide me to who i could see to help me with fertility while i'm on clomid. I've been told that doing both clomid and natural therapy at the same tim can help. Many thanks Stacey

    I see Nerida Moorhouse who's based at the Northcote Osteopath clinic, she used to work at Fertile Ground. She has a great manner. I also see Peter Slipper at Fertile Ground for acupuncture.

    Hi Stacey, I'm in a similar situation to you (endo removed via a lap), though now doing IVF for tubal reasons. I can't recommend Nicole Tracy (who others have already mentioned in this thread) highly enough. She has a clinic in Park Orchards, and also works in East Melbourne. I've been seeing her for a year now.

    You've probably found someone by now, but I have a TCM practitioner whose focus is fertility, pregnancy & birth & she is also trained as a doula. She was just fantastic, very calming, approachable & knowledgeable. I also had unexplained fertility and had been trying for about a year. Two months after seeing her I felt great and conceived. I have been seeing her again for about 6 weeks, and have just found out I am pregnant (very early days! but joined this community to rejoin the world of birth and pregnancy in anticipation). She also helped me to navigate decisions of pregnancy and birth planning once I was pregnant with some great resources and info.

    She's in Footscray - Elissa Pelling. Would recommend her to anyone.

    Good luck!

    Fertile Ground Thumbs Up

    May I please join the "WE LOVE FERTILE GROUND" club also please I couldn't recommend making an appointment with them highly enough. I have been seeing them now for 10 months. The level of care and support is incredible. I am extremely fortunate to see Milly for Accupunture and Nicole for Natropathy. They so provide you with a perfect marriage to AC. Although my FS at MIVF is extremely professional and one of the best in the business, I do sometimes feel like just a number and I am often rushed out, left with unanswered questions. The staff at Fertile Ground spend so much time listening to you, answering your questions and inject a sense of humanness to the whole process, treating the whole person, body soul and mind On a side note about accupunture, walking into Fertile Ground I was a huge skeptic, now I just cannot do without my weekly dose I wish you the best in your AC journey

    Natural Fertility Centre

    We have been seeing Simone Morley for 2 months. She seems great. Has anyone else had experience with her? She has trained with Franesca Naish and has a scientific background so combining the best of both worlds I hope.

    I know one of the practitioners from "The Pagoda Tree" in Melb and from what I hear she has had great success with fertility. She does TCM.
