"I was recommended to Ruth by a friend and I will forever be grateful for that recommendation. Ruth gives you the one to one time and focus
that you simply can not get from Dr's/GP's and listens without brushing aside your theories of why or descriptions what is happening to you
Ruth has helped me not only through acupuncture but also through dietary advice which
has really made a difference to my day to day life

I am so glad to have found her". C.R.

I have been seeing Ruth on a weekly basis since March 2008 since various medical options became more limited. Although I am obviously pleased that I have thwarted the initial time-scales given and whilst I can have periods of difficulty, I strongly believe that her acupuncture treatment has substantially contributed to my current feeling of well being and relatively good health-in that I am active and up and around. In my medical context, this is a very significant recommendation! Keep up the good work.

I have just completed a session of treatment with Ruth For male in-fertility.I was diagnosed throgh the QMC nottingham with a sperm count with only 3 million(normal average about 25 million)this being even too low to measure mortility and morphology.I researched the benefits of acupuncture and particularly up to going through with IVF treatments.We decided to be treated through CARE in Nottingham.After my first consultation Ruth recommended various lifestyle changes including diet,stress management etc.I thought i lived a really healthy lifestyle,including regular visits to the gym,watching what i was eating etc.A treatment plan was put in place,following a lot of Zita West books,relaxtion techniques etc.After 6 weeks I went for my first consultation with CARE,I conducted a sperm count where tests came back at a count of an amazing 36 million!!!
I believe without Ruth and the support given this would not have been possible,I will miss our weekly chats..and as Care have stated Me and my Wife now have a 60% chance of conception through our first treatment...in other words our chances have doubled...

I would recommend Ruth and her treatments and will be definitely be back in the future for any more problems...

I was never someone who ever thought they would have a problem with fertility. I guess this is the way it is for everyone. When I found out both my sperm count and motility were very low it was quite a sad experience. I wasn’t a man that felt his pride had been knocked! But one that recognised the problem, sad as it was, and looked at the experience as one that I would try and improve rather than ponder on.

I have just finished a session of treatment with Ruth that started immediately after my first sperm test where the results were a count of 6 million (‘average’ range is >25 million) and a forward motility of around 7% (‘average’ range is 25%). I was baffled to why I had this problem because I had never had any problems or operations in the area but I went on to learn so much from Ruth. It might sound strange but acupuncture is much more than needles being pushed into the skin at different special points!

Sperm is affected in many ways. Diet, as I went on to learn, plays a big part to the overall quality of the sperm as does stress – and Ruth describes, coaches and guides you in these areas. Although not advertised, she has excellent interpersonal skills coming from a Social Work background which helps to relax and rationalise the mind along with the needles to relax and help the body in times of stress (i.e. IVF!).

I saw Ruth on a weekly basis and enjoyed my visits very much. Together we changed my diet radically from snacking on sweets with rare meals to ‘real’ healthy meals using organic vegetables. It was quite a culture shock to start with! But I kept in mind why I was doing this, it’s important to remember the reasons if not only for your own health. I have to say now I enjoy the healthy meals I try to have each day and do feel better for it.

My wife is now pregnant on our 2nd cycle of IVF at Nurture and my final sperm results for the day of egg transfer were a count of 46 million! I still have an unexplained problem with motility but 46 million poor swimmers, I think, give a better chance of natural pregnancy that 6 million. I have never had a problem with sperm morphology, this has always been normal and the greater choice (i.e. greater count) of sperm you can give the IVF clinic the easier the process regarding sperm selection should be.

I would recommend Ruth and her treatments and intend to continue seeing her for monthly treatments (I also suffer from anxiety which acupuncture helps).

Ruth was recommended to me by a colleague. I had had 3 rounds of IUI and 2 early miscarriages and we were due to start IVF in the next month. I wanted to give IVF every chance of working.

Right from the start I enjoyed my weekly session with Ruth. Not only did she focus on the acupuncture, she also gave me advice on diet, relaxation and sleeping, and also advice for my partner.

I am now 14 weeks pregnant with twins after successful first attempt of IVF.

Thank you Ruth, and maybe I'll see you in preparation for the birth!

I have been seeing Ruth on and off for a while now. I find the sessions so relaxing and Ruth is full of wonderful knowledge. My partner and myself were both treated by Ruth for fertility issues and we continued to see her whilst having ivf and followed her advice on diet, lifestyle etc. We are over the moon that we got pregnant on our first cycle. I am continuing to see Ruth throughout my pregnancy. Id highly recommend acupuncture with Ruth. She is so caring and a fantastic person. Thanks for helping make our dream come true. Sharon
