TCM Fertility Specialist
Hi, my name is Simin Wei, a Fertility Expert, registered Chinese Medicine Acupuncturist and Herbal practitioner , a Ph.D.(C) Chinese Medicine in Gynaecology from China. I’m A member of MAcS, FTCMP, RGN, CMA, MBFs. I’m also a mother of two lovely children. I spend my weekdays at our family run Acupuncture clinic located in Simpson MK, caring for our patients. On the weekend, I like doing gardening and looking after my family.
I help couples to get pregnant and stay pregnant by preparing their body and mind for fertility and pregnancy. I’ve enjoyed empowering many women with the tools and techniques of ancient Traditional Chinese Medicines to overcome fertility issues and grow their families.
In my Fertility Acupuncture Clinic in Milton Keynes, I use Chinese acupuncture and Herbal Medicine and other holistic medicines to improve our clients’ well-being, including those struggling with specific health complaints, and women who are trying to conceive, are pregnant or are in postpartum recovery.
Twenty-five years ago, I was working as an RGN and clinical teacher for Nursing Students and Junior Medical Students at Luzhou Medical College Hospital in China and came to England working in Imperial College Medicine Hospital ( St. Mary’s Hospital in London), ENT, GI and Intensive Care Unit, seeing so many people struggling with their health. When my second child suffered from a chronic Virus cough day and night, Western medicine could no longer help, that is when I decided to start the Chinese Medicine Journey.
I followed my heart. It led me to study Chinese Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine in England and China, getting my another degree level in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, now on my Ph.D. programme in Gynaecology.
The relationship I have with my son, and my personal experience of Chinese Medicine inspired me to specialize in helping women conceive and to have beautiful, healthy babies.
In the last few years of my practice, I worked with many women in our Milton Keynes Fertility Acupuncture clinic, but now I want to help more.
Our acupuncture clinic in Milton Keynes, England, continues to treat people with a variety of health conditions, including, Gynaecological issues, fertility struggles.

I love my work, feel so fortunate to run a business doing the work I love, using our powerful ancient Chinese healing techniques to help my clients with their modern-day problems. (Pictures above : Simin at an International TCM Fertility Conference in China )

Embryo Transfer Support
Improve your chances of a successful embryo transfer with acupuncture treatments both before and after the transfer takes place. Around 1-24 hours before your transfer your acupuncture treatment will help you relax, increase blood flow to your uterus, and support the embryo’s reception. Then after the transfer has taken place, a follow-up acupuncture session will help return you to a more calm, relaxed state, support the growing embryo, and encourage your body’s energy to hold the embryo in place.
Please note this treatment follows a different pricing structure to our regular fertility acupuncture services. Call 01908 690544 for more details.
Male Fertility Treatment
When a couple struggles to get pregnant, male fertility is a contributing factor more than 50% of the time.
Research shows that the average man’s sperm count and sperm quality have decreased by more than 40% in the past half-century due to sperm’s sensitivity to heat, environmental toxins, diet and stress, contributing to increased numbers of couples experience infertility.
Research shows that the average man’s sperm count and sperm quality have decreased by more than 40% in the past half-century due to sperm’s sensitivity to heat, environmental toxins, diet and stress, contributing to increased numbers of couples experience infertility.
Lifestyle factors can have a negative impact on sperm counts. These factors include:
- Eating an unhealthy diet
- Drinking excessive alcohol
- Using marijuana
- Smoking cigarettes
- Using hot tubs (as high temperatures decrease sperm count and quality)
- Being overweight
And it’s not just women who experience a decline in fertility as they get older. New research is showing that men’s sperm quality begins to decline around the age of 45, which impacts the likelihood of a successful pregnancy and the health outcome of their child.
New research shows that acupuncture can significantly improve the quality and health of sperm. In a study published in Fertility and Sterility in 2005, researchers analyzed sperm samples from men with infertility of unknown cause before and after acupuncture treatments. They found that acupuncture was associated with fewer structural defects in sperm and an increase in the number of normal sperm.
Other studies have shown that regular acupuncture treatments significantly improve sperm counts and motility (the strength with which the sperm swim).
Please be reassured we never insert needles into your ‘private areas’ – no matter what health condition you are seeking help for. We will explain where the needles will be placed, and you will remain in full control throughout. Many of the people we treat don’t even feel the needles go in at all.
To get the maximum benefit from acupuncture, we recommend men get a minimum course of treatment for three months. But improvements in sperm quality and quantity can occur rapidly making even a one-off acupuncture treatment beneficial.
Male fertility acupuncture treatments are suitable whether you are trying to conceive naturally or using assisted reproductive technology (ART) including intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures. If you are using ART, your acupuncture treatment can be started at any time during the cycle.
