We listen first
A 60 to 90 minute first session with the time to be properly heard: history, medications, sleep, digestion, energy, mood, and cycle. Pulse and tongue diagnosis follow, and you leave with a TCM working diagnosis you understand.
Miscarriage affects around 1 in 5 women in the first three months of pregnancy (RCOG), and the loss deserves real recovery, not a brisk 'try again'. Trauma-aware miscarriage recovery care in Marylebone: manual lymphatic drainage, acupuncture, and nutritional support, for the physical and the emotional.
Overview
In the first three months of pregnancy, around 1 in 5 women will have a miscarriage (RCOG). Most are sporadic, single events. Recurrent miscarriage, defined by the NHS and RCOG as three or more consecutive losses, affects about 1 in 100 couples and warrants a full RCOG-aligned workup.
Body Perfected supports the physical recovery alongside the emotional weight of loss:
Integrative care never replaces gynaecology investigation for recurrent miscarriage; we work alongside your GP, early pregnancy unit, or specialist clinic. Hands-on support is delivered through our miscarriage recovery care, and when you are ready it can lead into fertility acupuncture or the wider postpartum recovery care.

Claudia provides the best lymphatic drainage massage in London. She can scan your body like no one else. I almost fell asleep during my 90-minute session — the time flew by. Thank you Claudia!
Claudia is a true healer! I arrived very tense after a long flight and she was able to help calm and reset my nervous system. I highly recommend the 1-hour lymphatic massage.
I had a great lymphatic drainage session with Claudia. After having sinus surgery to remove polyps and dealing with congestion, I felt so much better after the session. Highly recommend!
Claudia is wonderful. Her treatments are incredibly relaxing. She is attentive and asks questions ahead of time to be more targeted during the sessions. Her treatment rooms promote a sense of calm. I would highly recommend her!
There is no timetable here. Some women come within 2 to 4 weeks of the physical event, others once they are ready to think about what comes next. We follow your lead, and the plan is rebuilt around you at every visit.
Lingering pelvic heaviness, low-grade discomfort, and the post-surgical residual after an ERPC respond to gentle, specific care: manual lymphatic drainage for the abdomen, acupuncture for the rest. Treatment is quiet, unhurried, and entirely within your comfort. You stay in control of every session.
The return of your period is often a reassuring sign that the body is finding its own rhythm again. Acupuncture and herbal medicine support cycle regulation through this window, and we track the pattern with you so you know what is normal and what is worth checking.
Pregnancy and loss both draw deeply on the body's reserves. Nutritional support replenishes them and rebuilds the foundations that sleep, energy, and a regular cycle depend on. We adjust the support at every visit as your strength returns.
If and when you want to try again, we support that step too. Evidence, including a large 2017 analysis, shows trying within 6 months is associated with a higher live-birth rate than waiting longer. The decision is only ever yours, and we prepare with you at whatever pace feels right.
Loss is physical and emotional at once, and this care is trauma-aware by design: a calm room, no rushed questions, and nothing you have to explain twice, because you see the same practitioner every time. For the clinical side of recurrent loss we coordinate with your GP, EPU, or specialist clinic.
Why it happens
Chromosomal abnormality in the embryo: by far the most common cause of single early-pregnancy losses
Maternal age: risk rises sharply after age 35 due to egg-quality factors
Antiphospholipid syndrome and other thrombophilias: a treatable cause of recurrent loss
Uterine structural anomalies (septate uterus, fibroids, adhesions)
Chronic endometritis: low-grade uterine infection
Untreated thyroid disease, poorly controlled diabetes, or coeliac disease
Lifestyle inputs: heavy smoking, alcohol, very high BMI, environmental toxins
Your history, your cycle, your energy, and what matters to you. The first session runs 60 to 90 minutes depending on the service: medical history, current medications, sleep, digestion, energy, mood, and your menstrual cycle where relevant. Pulse and tongue diagnosis follow, and from this we arrive at a TCM working diagnosis you understand.
You leave with a written summary of what was done, why, and the plan for your next session.
Integrative care that treats the cause of your symptoms. Rooted in 2,000 years of Chinese medicine, delivered for modern life, from Marylebone since 2010.
Book by WhatsApp or phone on +44 7455 005 334. We agree a clear plan at your first session and reassess it at every visit, so you always know what your care involves and why.
Every plan starts with being properly heard. We find what is driving your picture, treat it with the right combination of pillars, and evolve the plan with you as your body responds.
A 60 to 90 minute first session with the time to be properly heard: history, medications, sleep, digestion, energy, mood, and cycle. Pulse and tongue diagnosis follow, and you leave with a TCM working diagnosis you understand.
Acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, tuina, manual lymphatic drainage, herbal formula: chosen for your TCM diagnosis, not by default. Sessions run 60 to 75 minutes, and you leave each one with a written summary of what was done and why.
Pulse, tongue, and current symptoms are reassessed at every visit, and the toolkit and herbal formula adjust as the picture shifts. Plans are agreed in 6-week or 12-week blocks, so you always know where you are in the arc.
As things settle, treatment moves to a maintenance frequency: keeping your cycle, energy, and recovery steady. Where you have a GP, fertility clinic, or surgeon involved, we coordinate with them throughout.
Treatment approach
Bespoke recovery protocol combining MLD, acupuncture, and nutritional support: designed for the period from immediately after loss through to the next menstrual cycle and, where wanted, the next conception attempt.
See treatment detail →Following the initial recovery window, fertility-focused acupuncture supports cycle regulation, endometrial quality, and the HPO axis: particularly valuable for women trying again after recurrent loss.
See treatment detail →For women with two or more losses preparing to conceive again. Twelve-week structure aligns with the egg-maturation window; integrates acupuncture, nutritional therapy, and (where indicated) herbal medicine alongside the RCOG-recommended specialist workup.

There is no single right time. Many clients come within 2 to 4 weeks of the physical event for cycle support and to address ongoing bleeding or pelvic pain; others come once they are ready to think about trying again. We follow your lead. Anyone still bleeding heavily, in significant pain, or under EPU follow-up should complete that medical pathway first.
No-one can guarantee that. The integrative role is to address the modifiable factors: nutritional status, sleep, stress, cycle regulation, and to coordinate with the RCOG-aligned recurrent-miscarriage workup if you have had repeated losses. Most subsequent pregnancies after one or two losses are successful without further intervention.
NHS practice typically investigates after 3 consecutive miscarriages; private practice often offers it after 2. RCOG-aligned testing covers antiphospholipid syndrome, thrombophilia screen, parental karyotyping, uterine imaging, and (in some clinics) chronic endometritis biopsy. We can suggest sensible questions for your GP or specialist.
The WHO once recommended waiting 6 months. Newer evidence, including a large 2017 analysis, shows trying within 6 months is associated with a higher live-birth rate than longer waits, with no increase in repeat-miscarriage risk. The decision is personal and should be made with your GP if there are medical reasons to delay.
