Fertility Berkshire is a specialist natural fertility clinic led by Dr (TCM) Attilio D'Alberto — one of the UK's most experienced fertility acupuncturists, with 25 years of clinical practice and the published author of My Fertility Guide.
Whether you are trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or navigating a diagnosis such as PCOS or endometriosis, Fertility Berkshire offers an evidence-informed, deeply personalised approach to improving your reproductive health using traditional Chinese medicine.
Dr D'Alberto combines TCM acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to address the hormonal, physical and constitutional factors that affect fertility — treating the whole person, not just a test result. He has helped hundreds of couples across Berkshire on their journeys to parenthood.
Traditional Chinese medicine approaches fertility differently from conventional medicine. Rather than asking what is wrong with your test results, TCM asks what your whole health picture reveals — and what that tells us about the conditions your body needs to conceive.
This approach is particularly valuable for conditions that conventional medicine manages rather than resolves — PCOS, unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage, poor ovarian reserve. TCM looks deeper, finds the pattern and addresses the root.
Research by Stener-Victorin and others has demonstrated that acupuncture improves fertility outcomes through multiple mechanisms: hormone regulation, improved uterine blood flow, stress reduction and cycle normalisation.
Dr D'Alberto holds a BSc (Hons) in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Beijing University, China — a full five-year undergraduate degree. He has been practising fertility acupuncture in Berkshire for over 25 years and is a registered member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC).
He is the author of My Fertility Guide and My Pregnancy Guide — comprehensive guides to improving fertility and pregnancy outcomes using TCM.
Your first appointment begins with a thorough consultation covering your complete fertility history, menstrual cycle, lifestyle, diet and any Western medical test results. Dr D'Alberto will perform a full TCM assessment using tongue and pulse diagnosis and build a personalised treatment plan aligned to your cycle and goals.
For best results, a minimum of three months of treatment is recommended — the length of one complete egg maturation cycle. IVF preparation programmes ideally begin three months before the cycle starts.
