As a Brisbane and online Fertility naturopath Michelle sees individuals and couples who:

• are doing ART including IVF and IUI

• are trying to conceive through natural means

• have been diagnosed as having unexplained infertility

• are planning to conceive but wish to embark on a pre-conception health plan

• are in a same-sex partnership or are single and are using a sperm donor

• Male fertility issues

As a fertility naturopath some of the ways in which Michelle investigates your fertility concerns are as follows:

• Interpretation of standard/routine blood tests that you get through a GP to assess your general health and identify any nutritional anomalies or biochemical pathways that warrant treatment.

• Analysis of hormone testing at specific days of the menstrual cycle as observed through blood tests and correcting any imbalances

• Targeting and treating any diagnosed reproductive, hormonal or endocrine health issues such as thyroid disorders, PCOS, Endometriosis, Fibroids, Irregular or absent periods for example.

• Identifying any other causative factors

• Teaching and encouraging basal body temperature charting and mucus observations to help paint a picture of your hormonal status

• Assessing and remedying dietary and lifestyle factors

• Providing nourishing and nutritionally replete recipes and meal plans for a healthy conception and pregnancy.

• Addressing and treating stress and any mood fluctuations

Seeing a naturopathic fertility specialist while you are going through IVF or ART may benefit you if you have:

• Poor egg quality in older women

• Poor ovarian response due to premature ovarian insufficiency

• Thin uterine lining

• Issues with embryo implantation

• Low Progesterone

• Oestrogen dominance

• And any other underlying reproductive health conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, Adenomyosis, Fibroids, recurrent miscarriage, blood-clotting and immunological disorders

Frequently Asked Questions: Fertility Naturopathy in Brisbane

How can a fertility naturopath help me get pregnant?
A fertility naturopath looks beyond standard "normal" test results to find the root cause of why you might be struggling to conceive. With over 24 years of experience in women's health, Michelle creates personalised preconception plans that focus on balancing hormones, improving egg and sperm quality, regulating your menstrual cycle, and creating the optimal environment for a healthy pregnancy.

Can I use naturopathy and acupuncture while undergoing IVF or IUI?
Absolutely. Integrative fertility support is one of Michelle’s core specialties. Naturopathy and Acupuncture can be safely used alongside your assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles. Michelle works to complement the protocols set by your fertility specialist, using safe, evidence-based natural medicine to help reduce stress, manage side effects, and support implantation—without interfering with your medical treatments.

Do you treat conditions like PCOS, Endometriosis, and Fibroids?
Yes. Conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, and uterine fibroids are common hurdles for fertility. Michelle’s approach focuses on long-term regulation and addressing the underlying inflammation, immune responses, or hormonal imbalances driving these conditions, rather than just managing the symptoms.

How long does pre-conception care take before trying to conceive?
It takes approximately 90 to 100 days for an egg to mature and for new sperm to develop. Because of this biological timeline, Michelle highly recommends that both partners begin a tailored natural fertility protocol at least 3 to 4 months before trying to conceive naturally or beginning an IVF cycle.

Do you treat male fertility issues as well?
Yes! Healthy babies require healthy parents. Male factor infertility—including issues with sperm count, motility, morphology, and DNA fragmentation—plays a massive role in conception. I provide natural, nutritional, and lifestyle support to help improve male reproductive health and sperm quality.

Can I combine Acupuncture and Naturopathy for my fertility treatment?
Yes, and it is highly recommended! As a dually qualified Naturopath and Acupuncturist, Michelle is uniquely positioned to offer you the best of both worlds. She can combine nutritional medicine and herbal support with targeted acupuncture sessions to encourage blood flow to the reproductive organs and calm the nervous system.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see you?
No referral is necessary to book a Naturopathy or Acupuncture appointment. You can book directly with Michelle either at her Moorooka clinic on Brisbane's Southside, or via an online telehealth consultation if that is more convenient for you
