Why Fertility Acupuncture Needs a New Global Standard
A message from Dr Simin Wei — Founder of the TCM Fertility Training
The world of fertility medicine is changing — and so is the role of the acupuncturist.
Across every continent, women and couples are turning to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) not as an alternative, but as an essential part of their fertility journey.
But with this growing trust comes a challenge: patients, clinics, and doctors now expect more from us.
They want practitioners who can interpret hormone results, understand IVF timelines, recognise red flags, and communicate clearly with biomedical teams — all while staying rooted in the classical wisdom of Chinese medicine.
That’s exactly why I created the TCM Fertility Training.
From Classical Foundations to Clinical Confidence
When I began treating fertility patients over two decades ago, the landscape was very different.
Few acupuncturists specialised in reproductive medicine, and even fewer were trained to integrate with IVF clinics or endocrinologists.
Since then, I’ve seen the incredible impact of bridging two worlds — using the language of science and the lens of Chinese medicine to help women and men restore their fertility potential.
Every patient taught me the same truth:
“When TCM and Western medicine work together, success rates rise, anxiety falls, and hope returns.”
That’s the foundation of our academy — training practitioners to think and practise integratively.
Training Practitioners Worldwide
This academy was designed for acupuncturists everywhere — whether you’re in London, Lisbon, Los Angeles, or Lagos.
Our live, interactive online classes bring together practitioners from all corners of the world to learn, share, and elevate the profession together.
Each course includes replays, practical templates, and mentorship opportunities — so you can integrate the material immediately into your clinic.
We believe learning should fit real clinical life — flexible, supportive, and internationally connected.
The Vision: Raising the Standard of Fertility Acupuncture
The future of our profession lies in integration and excellence.
We need acupuncturists who can sit confidently at the fertility clinic table — practitioners who speak both the language of Qi and the language of endocrinology.
Our goal is to help you become that practitioner.
When acupuncturists are well-trained, collaborative, and clear in their communication, the entire field gains credibility — and patients receive safer, more holistic care.
Join the Global Movement
If you’re passionate about women’s health and fertility, you’re already part of this movement.

A Final Thought
The fertility field is expanding faster than ever, and patients need acupuncturists who combine skill with sensitivity, tradition with science, and wisdom with warmth.
Together, let’s build the new standard of fertility acupuncture — global, integrative, and truly transformative.
With respect and enthusiasm,
Dr Simin Wei
