Fertility acupuncturist Wimbledon, and women's natural health expert
I’m Sally Kean-Hammerson, a specialist fertility acupuncturist in Wimbledon, and women's natural health expert. I work from my beautiful garden clinic in Raynes Park, West Wimbledon.
I'm passionate about all things baby making! As one of South West London's leading fertility acupuncturists, I love helping men and women to experience the joys of parenthood. And I see that as part of the whole - enabling women to feel great and live life to the full at every age.
That's why I not only work with fertility and pregnancy, I also support women who are struggling with perimenopause and menopause, as well as those with gynaecological and menstrual problems or hormone imbalances.
Aged 6, I remember poring over a magazine article, fascinated by photographs of a baby developing the womb, and asking my mum non-stop questions. From that day on, I’ve been hoovering up any information about pregnancy and fertility (training and mentorship junkie here, and always up to speed with the latest medical developments).
I know the fulfilment of being a parent – I’m a mum of 3 grown up children and now an empty nester. I know the pain, the stress, and the frustration experienced when it’s not happening. And I know that part of my purpose is to help people to become mums and dads, in a holistic and harmonious way. Oh and to go on and live life to the full as those children grow and become adults themselves.
I’m a 100% person, and I’m motivated by quality, service, and dedication. I live my life aligned with my holistic beliefs - they’re fundamental to my health and wellbeing. And I just want everyone to be able to experience this too.
I'm dedicated to helping people cut through the confusion and regain their health so that they can get on with living the life they dream of.
I'm one of London's leading fertility acupuncturists and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. As a specialist fertility acupuncturist in Wimbledon, I'm based in Raynes Park, West Wimbledon (South West London). I’m passionate about helping people to have the family they long for.

Fertility acupuncturist Wimbledon & South West London
I’m the practitioner for you if you’re…
Keen to work with a holistic healthcare specialist to help you get pregnant, whether you’ve been trying for ages, have IVF looming or are just thinking about getting going
Ready to reclaim the real you from conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), fibroids, hormone imbalances, autoimmune conditions, peri-menopause or menopause
Wondering why you’re not blooming in your pregnancy or feeling wobbly about the birth
Lost in a world of stress, sadness, and frustration, with the bombardment of well-meaning advice and impersonal medical service
Longing for someone to help, to listen, to understand, to be there unwaveringly, and to enable you navigate the pain and confusion
Fully committed to this process – like me! I won’t do overwhelm, but you do play a role here and I’ll be asking to take steps to help us, help you
I’m not the practitioner for you if you’re…
Looking for quick fixes or short-lived shifts. We’ll commit to working together to get you to where you need to be
Just wanting to lie on the couch and be fixed. I’ll be leading the way with diagnosis, cycle monitoring, acupuncture treatments, Chinese herbal medicine prescriptions and holistic protocols, but this a partnership and your commitment is key
Not willing to share – I’ll be asking about periods, sex, sperm, your emotions, the nitty gritty. This relationship works best when it’s open and honest
Expecting a standard solution and guaranteed timescales. My work is bespoke and tailored to you as an individual
A committed partnership
I pride myself on the level of service and support I provide. I don’t do half measures in any aspect of my work.
But I don’t do this single-handedly. This is a committed partnership where we’ll both be working hard to get you to where you long to be.
Of course, I’ll make sure it’s manageable for you and will talk you through what I think it’s going to take in terms of treatment frequency, supplementary testing, herbal medicine protocols and more. And I’ll give you an idea of what lifestyle and dietary tweaks might be needed along with the fertility check-ins we’ll be doing throughout each month.
But this is a lot more than just coming to lie on a couch every few weeks. And, with a busy clinic, I ask my clients to dedicate time and effort to what we’re trying to achieve so we can give this the very best shot.
That’s why I ask patients to commit to at least 3 months of treatment to really put the foundation in place. In most cases, we'll then continue out work together, often with weekly acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbal medicine. This is the way to make true, lasting change and to help you to the health and fertility gains you long for.
Ready to find out more?
Then let's talk. I offer a free 15 minute telephone chat where we can check we’ll work well together and you can ask any questions you may have. And if all feels great, we’ll get you booked in for your initial consultation (no obligation; no hard sell).
