Our approach naturally supports the IVF process, especially when taking medication and during collections and transfers.
Men are embracing the powerful impact they have in starting a family. No longer are they in the dark when it comes to their fertility health.

We gather all the information needed to make a clear diagnosis and start you on an easy-to-follow treatment plan.
We make sure you understand what we are working towards and what it will take to get there.
A fertility journey is never easy or straightforward.
We pride ourselves on our compassion, supporting both your physical and emotional well-being throughout the entire process.
As you achieve little wins on your journey, we help you put one foot in front of the other toward your final goal.
Each step brings you closer, and we are there to help at every turn.
Qi Medicine has been passionate about fertility and women’s health since 2006.
We believe you should be empowered and have a deeper understanding of why you are not pregnant and what you can do about it.
We believe many Melbourne couples feel frustrated with their level of fertility support and guidance.
We want you to avoid spending unnecessary thousands at an IVF clinic, and we want to give your treatment the best chance of success.
That is why we have dedicated our health practice to women’s health and fertility, becoming experts in our field.
Many women and couples come to Qi Medicine searching for fertility acupuncturists in Melbourne, often with hopes of finding a more natural approach to fertility or seeking IVF acupuncture support.
Unlike many other clinics, we take a personalized and holistic approach, tailoring our treatments to meet the unique needs of each client.
Our clients often hear that an acupuncturist can play a pivotal role in fertility. Some have even heard stories of friends who became pregnant after acupuncture and want to explore this option for themselves.
We integrate traditional Chinese medicine with modern fertility practices, offering a unique blend of care that you won’t find at most other clinics.
If you’ve felt disillusioned by other fertility therapies or are looking for a more natural path to a healthy pregnancy, fertility acupuncture could be the solution you’ve been searching for. We don’t just provide treatments—we offer a comprehensive approach that addresses both your physical and emotional well-being.

I have been attending Qi Medicine for the last 12 months and I always feel so relaxed and cared for after a session of acupuncture at Qi Medicine.
As soon as I walk through the door I feel a sense of calm and I know I am about to be looked after… Thank you Qi Medicine!

Acupuncture points are used to stimulate the central nervous system, which in turn triggers the release of chemicals into the muscles, spine, and brain.
These chemical changes can help heal the body while encouraging mental and physical well-being.
This is why acupuncture can be used in a wide variety of situations, from fertility and pregnancy to skin healing and endometriosis.
As modern medical researchers continue to study the effects of acupuncture, they have found that the needles used in traditional Chinese medicine stimulate the release of endorphins, which are naturally occurring painkillers in the body.
Endorphins are released not only during physical exercise but also during sexual intercourse, childbirth, and falling in love. Acupuncture can help relieve stress and anxiety and may have numerous positive health benefits.
You’ll meet with your doctor after you have pre-filled your intake form online (24 hours before your session), describing your health history and health goals.
You will get the most out of your session if you arrive early, enjoy a light refreshment, and begin to unwind from the bustle of the day.
A consultation will then follow, during which your doctor will determine your problem and its underlying reasons, followed by a deeply relaxing acupuncture session, after which you will notice an immediate change.
A treatment plan will be discussed with you, detailing a simple yet effective strategy to help you overcome the struggles you may be facing and move toward your health goals.
An ongoing appointment schedule will be reserved for you with your doctor, with the minimum requirement for appointments to achieve great results.
To ensure our sessions remain affordable for everyone, we offer peak and off-peak discounts for your follow-up sessions.
Your initial consultation starts from $175, including your full health assessment and treatment plan.
Yes, all of our doctors are Australian-trained health professionals registered with the AHPRA governing body.
Our team of professionals has also undertaken extensive additional fertility and pregnancy training to ensure our skills meet your specific needs.
How long does fertiltiy acupuncture take to work?
There are so many elements to falling pregnant that need to be considered.
We aim to help you reach your fertility goal as soon as possible—ideally by the next cycle!
However, sometimes support is needed to help you regulate your cycle, ensure sperm health, and remove obstacles to falling pregnant.
Our goal is to provide you with the support you need to conceive a healthy child as quickly as possible.
Yes, you can. All of our practitioners are registered with all major Australian funds.
Your initial session will be one hour, which will include an acupuncture session.
Any additional sessions will be up to forty minutes, allowing you plenty of time to unwind and relax.
If we could provide a magic needle to help you fall pregnant, we would!
However, good things take time. Our approach is one of thorough elimination. We work hard to uncover the precise reason you are not pregnant yet and provide you with a plan on how to get there. This may take time, but we are here to guide you each week on your journey.
