Real stories from our clients

"After a couple of years trying to naturally conceive and two unsuccessful IVF cycles, I went to see Jo. Jo helped me to realign my focus and nurture my body and mind. Jo is unique in that she can provide reflexology to help rebalance the different hormones, followed by acupuncture to boost circulation and relaxation. By letting Jo use her experience to guide the sessions helped reduce my anxieties and let me focus on relaxing.

When we both felt I had made the progress needed I then went for a third round of IVF. My sessions temporarily increased just before the transfer to ensure an optimum internal environment and with this my womb lining was the thickest I'd had that led to a successful implantation.

I then continued to see Jo to ensure my body remained a relaxed, healthy environment to sustain the pregnancy and 9 months later gave birth to my healthy, beautiful daughter. I found Jo easy to talk to and she provided helpful tips based on her years of experience in the field but also her own experiences. She's continually undergoing studies and courses to expand her knowledge so she can really help her clients. I'm really thankful that I found her and glad she remains a good friend."

“I cannot thank Jo enough and sing her praises all the time! I was struggling to conceive and my mental health was being impacted. Within 3 months of seeing Jo, my cycle had hugely improved and I was pregnant the following month. Every session with Jo was time for just me, with Jo’s reassurance and calming presence guiding me through my journey. Towards the end of my pregnancy, I visited Jo for birth prep and had electro-acupuncture at 39 weeks. I went into labour that same day and had a natural delivery. I’m now blessed with the most perfect baby girl and I will never forget what Jo did for me."

"Jo has been a fabulous support through our fertility, pregnancy, and birth journey. She is incredibly knowledgable and passionate about women’s health and fertility and is holistic in her approach. She shared her knowledge unconditionally, taking the time to explain the theory behind what she is doing/suggesting and being responsive to my needs each session and between sessions.

I have found Jo to be very friendly and approachable, she is easy to talk to, kind and caring. She goes above and beyond to support you. I have no doubt that Jo has been an integral part of our journey to becoming a family, we were on the waitlist for fertility treatment in the nhs when I started to see Jo but have not needed to pursue this route.

Jo helped to prepare my body and mind for pregnancy (supporting with symptoms of PCOS that were impacting on fertility) and then through pregnancy (including managing symptoms of pregnancy including indigestion and water retention etc) - all contributing to a happy and relaxed pregnancy and the safe arrival of our little girl. I cannot thank or recommend Jo enough"

"Jo is a life changer.

​

My family will never have the words to thank her for everything she did for us.

After one very successful first pregnancy, I was devastated when I lost 2 babies 2 years later.

I was recommended to Jo via a friend and felt instantly supported by her just after a phone conversation.

​

Her knowledge is second to none and she made sure that every single treatment was enjoyable and comfortable for me.

​

After 3 months of following her guidance, she said my body was ready and we fell pregnant again straight away.

​

I continued to see Jo throughout my pregnancy as she was able to tackle pains, acid reflux etc and then worked in indication at the end.

​

Our family is now complete and we owe it all to Jo."

"I went to Jo Kirk after a couple of months of trying to conceive, for a combination of reflexology and acupuncture treatments. From the very first session, Jo was incredibly knowledgeable about women’s health and fertility. She took the time to ask lots of thoughtful questions so she could really understand me and tailor the treatment specifically to my needs.

My sessions with Jo became a safe, calming space during what can otherwise be a very lonely journey. She was not only a wonderful sounding board, but the treatments themselves were relaxing and a lovely way to spend an hour focusing on myself and my wellbeing.

​

After about a month of treatments, I found out I was pregnant, and I’ve since had a gorgeous little girl. I have recommended Jo to friends who have also gone on to successfully conceive, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any woman looking for a little extra support during their conception journey."

"I started seeing Jo for Reflexology and acupuncture before my 3rd round of IVF. Jo was really knowledgeable and helpful, not only in her clinical treatments, but also in additional things I could do to increase my chances along side the IVF treatment in the lead up to it. Suggesting what foods to eat and avoid, what supplements to take etc. I always left her treatment room feeling so much lighter… I floating out. I also slept really well the night after having reflexology and acupuncture. Jo is super friendly and makes you feel very comfortable.

​

Unfortunately the 3rd round of IVF didn’t work for me. Before starting my 4th (frozen) round of IVF I started seeing Jo again twice a week. I felt positive and happy and Jo totally encouraged and boasted that with her acupuncture and reflexology. I got a positive test result in December and am almost now at the 20 weeks mark. I can’t recommend Jo highly enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable at what she does but also just a genuinely lovely person. Thank you for being on this journey with me Jo. I very much appreciate all you did xx"

"I had treatment with Jo for just over a year, when we first met Jo, she really got to know us and what we was going through, she then sent us information on what she thought would work for us and a week later I started having acupuncture 5 month after starting treatment I was finally pregnant, sadly we lost that baby, I carried on with the acupuncture and in October got another big fat positive. Today we sit with our precious little boy!

Jo was so supportive at every appointment I had, making the space so calm and relaxing, always ready to answer any questions and just an enjoyable time. Having acupuncture became a weekly treat rather than just a way to help us get pregnant after a long fertility journey. I couldn’t recommend Jo enough she’s amazing at what she does."

"I couldn’t recommend Jo enough. After spending 18 months struggling to conceive and going through every gruelling and intrusive test possible through my doctors, I was at rock bottom after being told it was looking like possible secondary infertility. 

​

An advert came up for Jo on social media and how she specialised in fertility and woman’s health. From a simple Facebook enquiry came the best few months to follow. Our initial phone call was the most uplifting and informative conversation I’d had about my body in years. I could tell just over the phone that Jo had a passion for her work and she immediately put me at ease and assured me that my body wasn’t failing me and there was something to work on. By the end of the call, I felt like I’d been chatting to someone I’d known for years. 

​

My sessions with Jo were incredibly relaxing, she lets you chat away or lay quietly there’s no right or wrong way to undergo your treatment and there is zero judgement when you there. 

In the space of a few months I had gone from almost giving up on becoming pregnant and really resenting my body, to falling pregnant with two beautiful babies. Jo supported me throughout my pregnancy and I saw her with a multitude of pregnancy related issues from migraines to hip pain and in the weeks before labour, Jo worked with me to prepare me for what was to come. 

​

I honestly, cannot put into words how grateful I am that I stumbled upon Jo’s advert on social media and so thankful that I plucked up the courage to send that initial message. That message was the start of something that would completely change my life. I owe two beautiful little tinkers to Jo."

"Jo Kirk is magic! I am forever grateful for Jo and her care. After my fertility journey felt overwhelming, working with Jo brought me both hope and balance. Jo is knowledgeable and compassionate and supported me throughout all the stages of my fertility journey which led to the birth of my son. I cannot recommend Jo enough to anyone on their fertility journey."

"I saw Jo throughout two pregnancies and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her knowledge and expertise in fertility and prenatal acupuncture have been invaluable in helping me navigate the physical and emotional challenges that come with trying to conceive and pregnancy. After helping me to conceive, not only did she provide relief for common pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, back pain, and fatigue, but she also helped me maintain a sense of balance and well-being throughout both pregnancies. Her gentle and calming demeanor always put me at ease, and I left each session feeling rejuvenated and supported. I truly believe that her care played a crucial role in ensuring the health and well-being of both myself and my babies. Thank you for everything, I am forever grateful."

I honestly cannot recommend Jo and the services she provides enough! ​Our journey to conceive our second baby was a challenging one. Following surgery and radiotherapy for spinal cancer, I was told by medical professionals that I would not be able to have any more children.

​

We eventually resigned ourselves to that fact that we would only have one child, even though I yearned for a sibling for her. Then in 2021, my husband and I went through a pretty traumatic Miscarriage. This left me both physically and mentally scarred, afraid to try again. This is when I first spoke to Jo about the services she provided. From the start Jo provided the support and the holistic treatment I needed to heal my body and mind to prepare to conceive again.

​

Her treatments prepared me physically in a way I could never have done alone.

​

Her advice and treatment helped me to prep my body for the journey I was about to embark upon, this was invaluable, and I have no doubt it was instrumental in the conception of our second child in December 2021.

​

Throughout the pregnancy Jo provided treatment to help with any ailments I was suffering and allowed things to move smoothly throughout each trimester.

​

Fast forward to August 2022 and the arrival of our beautiful daughter! I could not be more grateful to Jo for her help in making our family complete.'

"I was at an all time low with trying to conceive when a friend told me about Jo and her services. Teary eyed and broken hearted I contacted Jo, she listened to my concerns and showed me kindness and compassion right from our first phone call. We started our sessions early March 2024 and by April 2024 I had already started to see positive changes to my cycle and mental health and on the 15th May 2024 I got my positive pregnancy test. As I sit writing this now I have a beautiful, healthy baby boy and couldn’t be more grateful or in love xx"

"Just want to say a huge Thankyou to Jo for all the support and reflexology! I was diagnosed with pcos around 2 years ago and struggled with my menstrual cycle badly... since seeing Jo not only did my cycle sort itself within 2 months I also got the best thing out of life 💙 our little baby Elijah was born on the 8/10/20 and he is perfect, so Thankyou jo for everything you did because I wouldn’t be able to be sat here right now as happy as I am without you! 💙"

"Having tried for a second child for two years and suffered four miscarriages I was at the end of my tether and considering giving up on the idea of having another baby. Jo suggested reflexology as my periods were very light and she wondered if that could be part of the reason I kept miscarrying as my womb was not the cosy habitable environment it needed to be for the egg to implant successfully.

After just one month I fell pregnant (previously it would often take me months to conceive) and I have continued treatment with Jo throughout my pregnancy. I am now 17 weeks pregnant, the furthest I've ever made it to since starting to try for our second baby, and I put that down in large part to Jo.

She has been incredibly supportive, kind and caring throughout and has been a real rock for me during some very difficult times of stress and anxiety brought on by my fears of losing another baby. I honestly don't think I would have gotten to this point without her and would have resigned myself to not having any more children. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"I saw Jo for support with my fertility after suffering from two losses and struggling to get pregnant. I honestly cannot recommend Jo more. She really cares for her fertility ladies, is very knowledgable (but is always expanding her knowledge through courses and books), I feel that her prices are reasonable, Jo herself is genuinely kind and thoughtful. For me part of what I found really helpful was having Jo to talk to, she never pried but for me she was someone I could talk to. Having issues with your fertility can feel lonely but Jo helped me feel less lonely, she was someone I could talk to, vent to and occasionally have a cry on. Jo always made me feel empowered, something I’d lost and gave practical help and advice with diet and life style, as well as reflexology and acupuncture. I am very happy to say that I’m sat writing this with my 12 week old baby asleep on my chest❤️

​

I also saw Jo towards the end of my pregnancy to help get me ready for labour and help me not needing to be induced. My waters were broken for me but that was all the medical support I needed as I was already 2-3cm dilated and needed more other forms of induction. My labour felt very positive.

Thank you Jo, I will never forget you and the support you gave me xxx"

"Jo is the go to for acupuncture/reflexology for anything fertility and pregnancy related. I went to see Jo several times in the final week of my pregnancy - she went over and above to take care of me, and her knowledge and compassion are second to none. I left feeling much more at ease physically, mentally and emotionally, and in my last treatment went into labour that same day! I would highly recommend Jo."
