What We Help With
Raintree Chinese Medicine offers acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine with a focus on women's health, fertility, pregnancy and long-term care, among other areas of concern.
Key areas of focus
Raintree is built around Renee's deep focus on the following key areas of care:
- Fertility & preconception care →
- Pregnancy & postpartum support →
- Menstrual & hormonal health →
- Stress, sleep & digestive balance →
- Ongoing women's health & long-term care →
- Other Concerns →
Many people fit into more than one of these areas, and as such, sessions are always tailored to your individual needs.
Preconception Care & Fertility Support
Fertility work at Raintree is about more than a single cycle. Renee supports people who are trying to conceive naturally or with IVF/ICSI, paying attention to:
- Cycles and bleeding patterns over time
- Energy, sleep and digestion
- Stress and emotional load during fertility treatment
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine in this context aim to support your body as you move through investigations, stimulation cycles, transfers and the waiting periods in between. The focus is on helping you feel steadier, more supported and more informed within your overall fertility plan.

Pregnancy & Postpartum Support
Pregnancy is a big physical and emotional transition. This pillar covers care in all trimesters and into the postpartum months.
People often come for support with:
- Common pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, sleep difficulty, discomfort or anxiety
- Late-pregnancy comfort and birth preparation
- Recovery after birth, including energy, mood and bleeding patterns
- The early weeks and months of parenting, when sleep is disrupted and everything feels new
Treatment is always adjusted to your stage of pregnancy or postpartum, and can be coordinated with advice from your midwife, GP or obstetric team.
Menstrual & Hormonal Health
Cycles are one of the main ways the body speaks. Renee supports teens and adults with menstrual and hormonal concerns such as:
- Painful, heavy or irregular periods
- PMS/PMDD and mood changes around the cycle
- Perimenopausal symptoms – sleep disturbance, hot flushes, night sweats or cycle changes
- Cycle-related headaches, low mood or energy shifts
Appointments are a space to map out what is happening, link hormones with stress, sleep and digestion, and work towards cycles that feel more predictable and manageable.
Stress, Sleep & Digestive Balance
Underneath many symptoms there is a nervous system and a digestive system that need attention.
This pillar includes care for people who feel:
- Constantly "on", wired but tired or close to burnout
- Overwhelmed by caring responsibilities or work
- Stuck in poor sleep patterns – trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
- Upset in their digestion, with IBS-type symptoms, bloating or bowel changes linked to stress
Sessions are a chance to pause, regulate and reset while gently working on restoring more stable energy, sleep and digestion over time.
Ongoing Women's Health & Long-Term Care
Some people come for a specific concern and stay because they value having a steady practitioner over time.
This pillar is about continuity – being supported through several phases, for example:
- Menstrual and hormonal repair
- Preconception care and fertility
- Pregnancy and postpartum recovery
- Perimenopause and later life
Long-term care can involve blocks of more intensive treatment, followed by periods of lighter, maintenance-style support when things are more stable. Together you and Renee can review what you need at each stage and adjust the plan accordingly.
Other Concerns
While Raintree's main focus is women's health, fertility and hormones, some people also come for support with:
- Musculoskeletal Pain - Joint, Muscle, Nerve
- Headaches or migraines
- General stress-related symptoms that don't fit neatly into one category
- Supportive care during and after Cancer treatment
If your situation doesn't seem to fit any of the areas above, you're still welcome to get in touch. A short conversation or a can help clarify whether this style of care is likely to be helpful for you, or whether another type of support might be a better first step.
