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.
Recovery After Loss
Miscarriage Recovery
Trauma-aware miscarriage recovery in Marylebone: manual lymphatic drainage, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutritional support across the weeks immediately after loss, through to the return of your cycle and (where wanted) trying to conceive again.
The short answer
What this treatment is
Recovery from miscarriage is more than the resolution of bleeding. The body works through a hormonal cliff, the uterus involutes (returns to its usual size), and you work through grief. There is no timetable you have to keep to.
Body Perfected offers an integrated recovery protocol drawn from over a decade of clinical work supporting women through pregnancy loss. Every plan is shaped around three things:
- The type and timing of the loss, and the medical management you received (expectant, medical, or surgical).
- Where your body is now, from lingering pelvic discomfort to the return of your cycle.
- What you want next, whether that is rest, or gently preparing to try again.
Care is trauma-aware and paced to you. It draws on fertility acupuncture and, where helpful, manual lymphatic drainage, and can lead into the 12 Weeks Fertility Reset Protocol when you feel ready. You can read more about the condition on our miscarriage recovery page.
At your first appointment there is time to be properly heard
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.
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!

Your journey
with Body Perfected
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.
Treatment, tailored to you
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.
We evolve with you
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.
Care that lasts
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.

FAQ
Common
questions
How soon after a miscarriage can I come in?
Most women come in 1 to 3 weeks after the physical event. We never run treatment over an active heavy bleed or where there are red-flag symptoms (severe pain, fever, suspected retained products). Your EPU or GP follow-up needs to be the first port of call for those. Once you are physically stable, we are here whenever you are ready.
Is acupuncture safe so soon after loss?
Yes, once you are physically stable and screened at intake. Gentle, recovery-focused needling is generally well tolerated in this window, and we adjust depth, points, and intensity to what you can manage. Anyone still on medical-management protocols (misoprostol, mifepristone) coordinates with the prescribing clinic on timing.
When should I think about investigations?
NHS practice typically investigates after 3 consecutive miscarriages; many private clinics offer it after 2. Investigations cover 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; we are not a replacement for that workup.
How is this different from going to therapy?
Body Perfected is integrative physical-recovery care: acupuncture, MLD, nutrition, herbs, with a trauma-aware practitioner. It is not psychotherapy. Many clients use both: a counsellor, psychotherapist, or perinatal mental-health team for the talking work, and Body Perfected for the body work. We can recommend therapists experienced with pregnancy loss where helpful.
