Katie Kempthorne is one of Auckland's most experienced fertility acupuncturists and naturopaths, with over 20 years of clinical practice helping women conceive naturally, prepare for IVF, and navigate the fertility journey when conventional medicine hasn't provided answers. What sets Katie apart is something genuinely uncommon in New Zealand — dual qualification in both traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and naturopathic medicine. Most practitioners choose one discipline. Katie trained in both, completing her naturopathy degree at the South Pacific College of Natural Medicine and her acupuncture training at AUT, with clinical experience in China. The reason is simple: for complex fertility cases, one framework is rarely enough. When you see Katie for fertility support, you're not receiving acupuncture with some lifestyle advice added on. You're receiving two complete clinical systems working simultaneously. Her naturopathic training brings functional testing, nutritional medicine, herbal support, and dietary assessment. Her TCM training brings pulse diagnosis, tongue reading, and pattern recognition that Western medicine doesn't use. Together they create a diagnostic picture that is considerably more complete than either alone. Katie treats the full range of fertility conditions. Unexplained infertility is one of her most common presentations — and one of the most important to get right. Unexplained doesn't mean there is nothing to find. It means the standard tests didn't find it. Using both naturopathic functional testing and TCM diagnostic methods, Katie consistently identifies hormonal, nutritional, and physiological patterns that standard fertility investigations miss. She also treats PCOS using combined acupuncture and naturopathic support to regulate insulin, lower androgens, and restore ovulatory cycles. Many of her PCOS patients conceive naturally without IVF. Low AMH and poor egg quality are treated through the critical 90-day egg development window, where targeted acupuncture and nutritional support consistently improve follicular quality. Recurrent miscarriage is approached by investigating the hormonal, immunological, and nutritional causes before the next attempt. Endometriosis, premature ovarian insufficiency, irregular cycles, secondary infertility, luteal phase defect, and male fertility are all treated as part of an integrated approach. For women preparing for IVF, Katie's approach is timed precisely to the clinic's protocol. Acupuncture in the lead-up to egg retrieval improves ovarian response and follicular blood flow. Sessions around embryo transfer improve uterine lining thickness and implantation rates. Research demonstrates approximately 15% improvement in IVF success rates when acupuncture is used alongside treatment. Katie works collaboratively around whatever protocol your fertility clinic has prescribed, supporting the process rather than conflicting with it. Initial consultations with Katie are 90 minutes. This is not a billing decision — it is a clinical one. Understanding your fertility situation properly requires your full health history, your cycle history, your test results, your partner's health, your lifestyle, your stress, and your diet. Most patients say their first appointment with Katie is the first time someone has properly listened and looked at the whole picture. They leave with clarity about what Katie has found and exactly what she recommends. Katie practices from her Sandringham clinic in Auckland, seeing fertility patients from across the city and beyond. Online naturopathic consultations are available for patients who cannot attend in person. For women who have been trying to conceive without success — whether for months or years, whether with a diagnosis or without one — Katie's dual-discipline approach offers the time, the tools, and the clinical frameworks to find what has been missed.
