Your journey to better health starts here.

 

While Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine have been around for thousands of years, at Kim Gatenby Acupuncture (trading as Sydney Natural Fertility) you will experience a modern and gentle approach to this healthcare system. We’re passionate about making sure your experience is both relaxing and as beneficial as possible.

 

When you come in to the Dural or St Leonards acupuncture clinics, we will sit down and have a chat about your health concerns and what your wellness goals are. During this time your practitioner will be coming up with acupuncture points that will give you the best results. Once you are on the comfortable acupuncture table, the super fine acupuncture needles will be inserted. Our style of acupuncture is very gentle, so the whole experience should be relaxing and enjoyable. After 20 minutes of rest time with the needles, they will be removed and you can carry on your day, hopefully feeling lovely and rejuvenated.

 

While our main area of work is fertility and pregnancy care (predominantly at St Leonards due to the IVF clinics in the area), Kim has been the local acupuncturist in Dural for 17 years and has experience treating a wide range of conditions. Lisa also supports patients through their fertility journey, and is also excellent at treating musculoskeletal issues thanks to her vast experience as an occupational therapist. If you would like to discuss your condition before treatment please get in touch through the contact page.

 

We look forward to helping you and your extended family feel fantastic and in amazing health.
