About Me

• My name is Georgie Smith and I am an
  acupuncturist based at Conceive Natural Health
  and Fertility clinic in Red Hill. As the name
  suggests I specialize in treating people trying
  to conceive and those already pregnant. However,
  please don't be put off by the clinic name if you
  are not wishing to have a baby as I treat all
  manner of disease, disharmony, aches and pains.
• As well as being an acupuncturist I am a
  practising midwife and am currently studying a
  Masters in Reproductive Medicine. I have a very
  keen interest in fertility and pregnancy from
  both a Western and Eastern medicine perspective
  and feel I can provide a holistic approach when
  treating and supporting women and men
  experiencing difficulties conceiving or during
  pregnancy.

Acupuncture Fertility Brisbane

• Infertility affects many people due to known,
  unexplained or social reasons. At Conceive we
  work with couples or singles preparing to
  conceive or who are experiencing difficulties and
  already undergoing IVF procedures. My treatments
  are designed to optimise ovarian function and egg
  quality, improve blood flow to the uterus and
  reduce stress and anxiety. Chinese medicine
  assists with regulating and supporting the body
  during this process.

Acupuncturist Brisbane

• Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of
  years and is a safe and effective way to promote
  healing and cure illness for a wide variety of
  disorders. Chinese medicine believes that good
  health is dependent upon a balanced and smooth
  flow of energy or Qi through our body, and
  disease results when this flow is impaired.
  Impaired Qi flow can stem from many sources, such
  as stress blocking the smooth flow of Qi, or
  inadequate diet leading to insufficient Qi. In
  short, the demands of modern life are notorious
  for interfering with Qi flow and production, and
  thus disharmony follows. As such, an acupuncture
  consultation aims to discover why and how this
  flow has been disrupted, and treatments aim to
  restore this flow andconsequently, good health.
• I use comprehensive interviewing and physical
  assessment to develop an understanding of the
  nature of the complaint and then prescribe a
  tailored acupuncture treatment.
• Acupuncture is classed as a complementary
  medicine and this is appropriate as it
  complements our medical health care system and
  provides a more holistic approach to people. I
  continue to work as a midwife in Brisbane, and I
  whilst I can draw on my years of nursing and
  midwifery experience, I do not offer a midwifery
  service at Conceive Natural Health and Fertility.

Acupuncture Pregnancy Brisbane 

• Acupuncture is becoming increasingly valued in
  Australia as a safe, effective and drug-free
  option for enhancing health and well-being during
  pregnancy and treating disorders associated with
  pregnancy. Treatments are based on the
  individuals requirements and aim to prepare
  women both emotionally and physically for
  birth. Our clinic has a pregnancy massage
  table so all women regardless of gestation are
  able to lay face down if the treatment requires.

Natural Fertility Support Brisbane

• Chinese medicine believes disease or disharmony
  results from a blockage or imbalance within the
  body. This can be the result of a myriad of
  causes including lifestyle factors, previous
  trauma or injuries, or genetic predisposition.
  Whilst we cant change the past everyone can
  improve their health and well-being for the
  future. The aim of all Chinese medicine treatment
  is to firstly improve overall health and
  well-being in all aspects of the individual.

Morning Sickness Brisbane

• Whilst morning sickness is regarded as a normal
  part of pregnancy it can be a debilitating
  condition for many women and is often accompanied
  by severe fatigue. Acupuncture can be effective
  in treating the fatigue and nausea although it
  will often require weekly or sometime twice
  weekly treatments depending on the severity.

IVF support Brisbane

• I work with women undergoing IVF and other forms
  of fertility treatments. My IVF Support
  treatments aim to improve blood flow (and drug
  delivery) to the uterus and ovaries, assist
  implantation, and reduce the side effects many
  women experience when taking fertility drugs.
• Once you have conceived treatment is continued
  through the first trimester to reduce the risk of
  miscarriage and assist with the anxiety many
  women feel during this period.
• At Conceive we work with couples or singles
  preparing to conceive or who are experiencing
  difficulties and already undergoing IVF
  procedures. My treatments are designed to
  optimise ovarian function and egg quality,
  improve blood flow to the uterus and reduce
  stress and anxiety. Chinese medicine assists with
  regulating and supporting the body during this
  process.

 Acupuncture Breech Brisbane

• Ideally treatments for turning a breech baby will
  begin at 33-34 weeks gestation as the baby will
  have bit of extra room to move at this time,
  although treatment may still be beneficial after
  this gestation. The acupuncture treatment points
  are used to relax the ligaments and muscles,
  promote the baby to turn and reduce stress and
  anxiety. I will teach you to use a moxa stick to
  stimulate a acupuncture point at home for
  approximately 10 days. Acupuncture and
  moxibustion treatments may also make a ECV
  (manually turning the baby) more effective if
  its needed through relaxing the body and
  reducing anxiety. There are certain maternal
  positions that may help your baby turn to head
  down and these are well explained on the
  www.spinningbabies.com website.

Labour induction Acupuncture Brisbane

• Women in Brisbane are increasingly using
  acupuncture as a means of avoiding medical
  induction of labour. The treatments aim to build
  energy, reduce stress and anxiety, soften the
  cervix, and encourage the baby to turn into the
  best position.
