Alexandra Hampel, Adv. Lic. Ac. is a fully qualified and licensed Five Element Acupuncturist and a member of the Association of Five Element Acupuncturists (AFEA).

Alexandra supports individuals and couples at every stage of their fertility journey, whether they are trying to conceive naturally, preparing for assisted conception, or looking to optimise their overall reproductive health. Her approach combines traditional techniques such as acupuncture and moxibustion with a deep understanding of the emotional, psychological and physical impact that fertility challenges can have.

Felicity Rudge, Lic. Ac. is a Five Element Acupuncturist, practising at clinics in Harley Street and Shoreditch. She is currently completing a postgraduate in Five Element Acupuncture under Gerad Kite.

Her path to this medicine began with Long Covid. By treating the root cause rather than the physical symptoms alone, acupuncture also settled emotional and energetic patterns she had lived with all her life.

That experience shapes her approach to fertility care: treatments that speak to the whole person, not just the cycle or the diagnosis. Her aim is to support your body's own capacity to nourish and restore itself, so you can meet this season of your life with steadiness, trust and a deeper sense of ease in your body.
