Silène Bricet,
Fertility Acupuncturist

I was born in Lyon, France, where all my family still resides. My first visit to London 24 years ago was transformative; I stepped out at Piccadilly, wandered through Covent Garden, and instantly knew, “This is where I’m going to live.” 

At 26, I experienced a life-changing moment when I woke up with Bell’s palsy after a severe headache. Visiting an acupuncturist for treatment, I was inspired by his work and thought, “This is what I want to do.”

I’ve always dreamed of being a mother. While my friends discussed their career aspirations, my secret ambition was to have children. When I finally became pregnant at 34, it felt like the end of an excruciating wait for the right partner and the right time.

Reflecting on my journey, I realize that my personal longing for a child is why I now work exclusively in fertility. I deeply understand the yearning for a child, the fear it might never happen, and the profound desire to create and nurture a family.

Outside of my work, I’m a hopeless romantic with a love for period dramas!! I often drag my partner and kids to explore every National Trust and English Heritage site we come across!!
