Monika Novich / Acupuncture
Monika Novich, DipAc, MBAcC
member of british acupuncture council
From 1 October 2026, Monika and Charlotte will be welcoming patients to their new clinic, Women’s Acupuncture Centre, at 26 Forth Street, just a short walk from Albany Street. They will continue working together, offering personalised care for fertility, women’s health and general health concerns, with people of all genders warmly welcome.
The website for Women’s Acupuncture Centre is currently under construction, but you can book an appointment with Monika using the booking button below.
Monika has been working as an acupuncture clinician for over a decade. She joined the Albany Street Clinic shortly after graduating from the Northern College of Acupuncture and has since developed a well-established, lively practice supporting people through both fertility-related and general health concerns.
Her clinical work is rooted in a thoughtful, patient-centred approach, combining Chinese medicine with modern understanding of reproductive and systemic health. Monika works with a wide range of conditions but has a particular interest in fertility, menstrual health, and the broader mind–body physiology that underpins well-being.
-
Before training as an acupuncturist, Monika completed a Master’s degree in English Literature and spent several years teaching. Her long-standing interest in how people heal physically, emotionally, and relationally led her to further studies in Social Care, Counselling, and ultimately Traditional Chinese Medicine.
These combined fields gave her an appreciation for the therapeutic relationship and the subtle ways in which body and mind influence one another.
Over the years, Monika has moved her focus over to fertility and reproductive medicine. She has pursued extensive post-graduate training in fertility-focused acupuncture, reproductive physiology, and integrative approaches to conception and IVF. This area of work now forms a central part of her clinical practice, where she supports individuals and couples through natural conception, IVF cycles, menstrual regulation, recurrent loss, and hormone-related conditions.
Alongside her fertility work, Monika also treats pain conditions, stress and anxiety-related presentations, headaches, digestive concerns, and general health issues. She brings together Classical Chinese Medicine principles with up-to-date research in acupuncture, reproductive health, and evidence-based lifestyle support to provide thoughtful, effective care for her patients.

Charlotte studied Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine at the Escuela MTC Madrid-Universidad del Atlántico in Spain, following the standard curriculum of the Beijing and Yunnan universities. After graduating, she ran a successful clinic in Spain for several years before relocating to Edinburgh to continue her profession in the UK.
She is deeply passionate about her work and takes a person-centred approach, ensuring that each treatment is tailored to the unique needs of her patients, treating a wide range of conditions, from pain management and stress-related disorders to digestive health, immune support, and general well-being (for both adults and children).

Charlotte is an expert in charting menstrual cycles following her NFP studies and has a strong interest and experience in women’s health, including cycle regulation, fertility, IVF, pregnancy, and postpartum care. With extensive experience in prescribing herbal medicine for complex issues in these areas, she continues to expand her expertise through ongoing gynecology training.
In 2019, she became an associate practitioner at the Women’s Natural Health Practice after completing a postgraduate diploma course in TCM Gynecology and Obstetrics in Ireland. She is registered with the RCHM (Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine) and is fully insured to practice acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine in the UK.
