Ms Ilana Garsin is an Acupuncturist based in Bricket Wood, St Albans, with over 16 years of clinical experience treating adults and children. She has a particular interest in women's health and fertility and provides acupuncture for a range of concerns including fertility, IVF support, pregnancy, menopause, hormonal health, pain management, stress, anxiety, migraines, allergies, and general wellbeing.
Ms Garsin combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with an understanding of Western medical diagnostics. Her approach involves reviewing symptoms, medical history, lifestyle factors, and, where appropriate, medical test results to develop individualised treatment plans. She also provides lifestyle guidance, written treatment plans, and ongoing support throughout treatment.
Her interest in fertility and women's hormonal health developed following her own experience of acupuncture during her fertility journey. She subsequently undertook advanced postgraduate training in fertility acupuncture and has since focused much of her practice on supporting individuals and couples through fertility treatment, IVF, pregnancy, menopause, and other reproductive health concerns.
Ms Garsin holds degrees in Molecular Biology and Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and has completed advanced training in fertility support, fertility and IVF acupuncture, pregnancy and childbirth acupuncture, facial and cosmetic acupuncture, and auricular acupuncture. She is a member of the British Acupuncture Council, the Fertility Support Network, and the Acupuncture Fertility Network. She is also an affiliate clinic of The Fertility Suite network. In 2025, her practice was recognised by Three Best Rated as one of the best acupuncture clinics in St Albans.

I've been seeing Ilana for nearly a year, and she has really helped pinpoint a very tough fertility journey. Despite the NHS labelling our case as unexplained infertility, Ilana has helped me find the right specialists, along with her very calming treatment, which has helped me get back on track and ready to explore IVF again. Her therapy room is clean, calm & relaxing. No paying for parking, too, which is a bonus. Would definitely recommend Ilana if you feel lost in your fertility journey, nothing seems wrong with doctors and unsure what to do next.
Ilana is an excellent Acupuncturist and provides highly relevant advice and treatment. I've no hesitation in recommending her.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
Horrendous ear ache for several months, had scans etc no one could find the reason. As a last resort I thought I would try acupuncture, after 3 sessions the pain totally disappeared.

So glad I was able to help you.
I have been seeing Ilana for two years now to help treat my PMDD symptoms and she has been amazing! She is very thorough, takes my symptoms seriously, and I find the treatment really relaxing too. It is much easier to manage my symptoms every month now and I have even had the unexpected benefit of getting rid of my hayfever! I would recommend Ilana to anyone who needs help with fertility, hormonal issues or even mental health issues as acupuncture has helped my anxiety a lot too.

Thank you so much.
Ilana has really helped with pelvic pain and back pain during pregnancy. I was sceptical about Accupuncture at first but now I’m a convert and have even been so relaxed to have fallen asleep while having treatment.

Love that you had an acunap!
Ilana was very calming and made me feel extremely comfortable

Thank you so much
Having acupuncture treatments by Illana was doubly beneficial. She's got a beautiful garden clinic and the session were so relaxing, nothing to fear about the needles. I went to her for help cleaning up hormonally after being on birth control and I got pregnant soon after. She explains everything and is extremely supportive. Whilst the soft music during the treatments almost put me to sleep! Definitely recommend her for all women's issues, or just general health.

Thank you so much for your lovely review.
Ilana helped me so much when I was really stuck in a cycle of burn out and hormonal issues.

Thank you so much and so glad i was able to help you
I went to get help for my hay fever primarily and the treatment was highly effective. After a few sessions I can breathe more easily, and have done the treatment for a few years as it works. Ilana is lovely and makes you feel so comfortable. I fell asleep in one of the sessions!

Thank you so much.
I have seen Ilana on a weekly basis over 6 months to support me with fertility. She is empathetic and has vast knowledge. I found sessions relaxing and helpful and she offered me additional contacts to support us in our journey. I can proudly say I’m now a mum to our first baby boy and I couldn’t be more greatful. Thanks Ilana 😊

Thank you so much for your lovely review.
Ilana is an exceptional professional who displays great empathy towards her clients. Her knowledge and understanding of fertility and surrounding conditions is second to none
