“My goal is to support your health and help improve your quality of life—whether you are navigating fertility challenges or aiming to enhance your overall well-being. Treatments are informed by Traditional Chinese medicine principles, evidence-based nutrition, and transformative health coaching.”

Welcome to my practice

My name is Valeria Frank, I am a London based complementary therapist with 30 years of experience. As a registered acupuncturist, associate nutritionist and a professional health coach, I provide these treatment modalities in person and online in both English and Spanish.

I work in partnership with each client to deliver compassionate, thoughtful care tailored to their specific needs. I offer safe, effective, and personalised guidance to support a wide range of health concerns.

What I do

I have extensive clinical experience in acupuncture, particularly in the field of women’s health, natural fertility, IVF support, and pregnancy. Since 2010, I have been a resident fertility acupuncturist at the renowned London-based Zita West fertility clinic (now Care Fertility Zita West). I bring 15 years of experience working closely with a team of expert doctors and midwives, providing individualised IVF and other assisted reproductive treatments in an integrated, holistic healthcare setting.

In my acupuncture clinic at Shine on The Green in Newington Green, which I have run since 2009, I also treat a wide range of conditions, including long-term health concerns, pain-related ailments, and age-related issues. I work with people at various life stages, from teenagers to older adults.

As a nutritionist and health coach, I have a special interest in how nutrition and lifestyle education can support pre-conception, since the health of both men and women at this stage plays a key role in fertility, pregnancy outcomes, the long-term health of their children and of future generations. I provide stand-alone online nutrition and health coach consultations and packages, supporting individuals and couples trying to conceive naturally, undergoing IVF, and for pregnancy and the postpartum period.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Valeria since 2013, helping most of our common patients overcome infertility. Her very comprehensive approach and attention to detail enable Valeria to deliver excellent care to her patients”. Dr. Simone Rofena, MD, OB -GYN Female infertility specialist, Medical Director at the Zita West Clinic.

Kind words from clients

  • “I had the privilege to be treated by Valeria for 2 years. From the moment we met I knew I had luckily stumbled upon the most knowledgeable, kind, considerate acupuncturist - who is not only an expert in her own field but in the world of fertility in general. Valeria has helped me navigate the complex world of fertility and without her I would still be lost. She has supported me and helped me get through several miscarriages, including a molar pregnancy, and a complicated IVF cycle. The result: a beautiful baby boy, who would not be here if it was not for Valeria's help: her excellent treatment, her unfaltering support, and her endless guidance. Thank you Valeria.” - Camille

  • “To be honest, I’m not sure I’d have got through my “fertility journey” without Valeria’s support and treatment. I have been seeing Valeria over a period of approximately five years, when having IVF for my first son in 2018 and his brother in 2023. She is a font of knowledge on fertility acupuncture (and IVF treatment as a whole) and a really skilled practitioner, who was able to treat my many aches and pains as well as support my cycling when doing egg collections and transfers. My weekly treatments were a time of calm and relaxation and something I really looked forward to to support me through a process which was gruelling and anxiety inducing at times. I would thoroughly recommend Valeria and can only thank her for her help in getting me to the end of my journey.” - Jenny

  • “I have PCOS and therefore experienced subfertility. Valeria was recommended by many people and I understand why. Through carefully researched practice, a great deal of experience as well as patience, she gave me confidence, hope and ultimately brought on my periods again which led to the conception of my son. As well as enjoying the thoroughness of Valeria's acupuncture sessions, both through discussion and practice, she also followed up with relevant research articles which I found particularly valuable. I will be eternally grateful to Valeria for supporting me through a very difficult time in my life. I would recommend her to anyone (and already have!).” - Dr. Pippa

  • “I began visiting Valeria about 14 years ago as I was suffering with insomnia. Thanks to her exceptional knowledge, holistic and empathetic approach the insomnia passed - I even fell asleep during a treatment! I have continued to go to Valeria for treatments over the years for various reasons—pms, sporting injuries, pregnancy, and sometimes because I was just feeling a bit “off”. I always look forward to treatments and feel that I have been really listened to and that any health issues are treated holistically rather than just the symptoms. I could say that Valeria works magic but that doesn’t do justice to the depth of her knowledge and skill of her practice. Thank you! I would, and have, recommended to many." - Sarah

  • “Fantastic, highly knowledgeable and skilled! Valeria's acupuncture expertise and genuine care for my health has made a world of difference to my post-natal journey. The regular acupuncture sessions with Valeria have provided immediate relief to my under-slept and fatigued brain, lifted my mood, and enabled me to function better and heal properly after a C-section and a baby who breastfeeds a lot day and night. The acupuncture helped with physical aches and swelling, fatigue from the broken sleep, and it also eased big hormonal transitions for my skin, hair, and milk supply. I highly, highly recommend Valeria to all new moms out there who need support with the heavy demands and hormonal roller coaster of a new baby, as well as to anyone else who feels their energy or mood is low, or are in physical pain or discomfort." - Liz

  • “Valeria is an exceptional practitioner whose expertise, compassion, and holistic approach made a profound difference in my journey. From the very first session, I felt completely at ease in her care.I initially sought acupuncture to support my fertility journey, but I soon realised the benefits went far beyond that. Valeria not only helped me physically, but also emotionally, providing a space where I felt heard, supported, and reassured. Her ability to blend expert knowledge with genuine kindness is rare and invaluable. Thanks to her unwavering support, we are now excepting our little miracle. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is truly outstanding in her field, and anyone in her care is incredibly lucky. " - Eva

  • “I can’t say enough positive things about Valeria. I was so lucky to find her when I did. She helped and guided me through my pregnancy journey in so many ways...physically, mentally and emotionally. I always left her appointments feeling like a new person....relaxed, rejuvenated and recharged. Her knowledge of pregnancy and beyond is nothing short of impressive! I always felt in safe hands. Thank you Valeria for being a guiding light <3” - Laura
