About Zita West

My initial interest in natural therapies came about through my own personal experience of being pregnant. I had terrible morning sickness with both my babies as well as mild postnatal depression after my second.

What I discovered was that all of the body’s systems are linked: you need to nourish the body both physically and emotionally for it to work at its best, and this is never truer than when it comes to fertility. I tried acupuncture and found that it really helped me as a natural relief to many of the pregnancy ailments I was experiencing, and it was especially helpful for me throughout the difficult time postnatally with my second child. Soon after this I trained in acupuncture with a focus on pregnancy and brought this into the NHS at Warwick Hospital, where I was working at the time. I then went on to study nutrition as well as I believed this could also make a huge difference in helping someone conceive and to their prospects for the pregnancy that followed.

What I didn’t know then, but do know now, was how important the first 1000 days are for your future child’s development and health.

This begins at the moment of conception and carries on through to a baby’s second birthday. Anything you can do to help – physically, emotionally and psychologically – to lay the foundations for this critical period is likely to have a positive impact on their health and wellbeing for the rest of their lives.

In 2001 I opened the Zita West Clinic with the specific mission to help support couples to get in the best possible shape for fertility and pregnancy and to find solutions for those who are having problems. I also created my own range of vitamin and mineral supplements for male and female fertility, pregnancy and the postnatal period.

In 2011 we launched our first IVF programme which has proved incredibly successful, with some of the best pregnancy rates in the UK.

Since leaving Zita West clinic I am delighted to be returning to my roots and what I love most, with independent, one to one in person or on zoom bespoke fertility consultations.
