Kim Gatenby

Ba App Sci (TCM), Master of Reproductive Medicine

Kim Gatenby is an experienced and highly educated practitioner with a passion for fertility and patient-centric care. Kim is a fully qualified acupuncturist and naturopath with a Masters of Reproductive Medicine with Excellence from the University of NSW helping drive her quality of care. Kim has over 18 years experience, after graduating with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2007 worked in the health industry ever since, helping people in Sydney’s Hills district and Lower North Shore, and now in the Mid North Coast area with a new space at The Wellness Collective in Wauchope, near Port Macquarie.

Kim has devoted significant time and effort to ongoing training, education and practice in fertility for both men and women, and her time in Port Macquarie has opened her awareness to the fact that there is very little fertility and IVF support available in the area, which has driven Kim to partner with Demeter Fertility to open fertility treatment options to patients in the area. Kim offers in-person and Telehealth appointments for all patients wanting to start their IVF journey’s by providing both medical and natural care options. By teaming with Demeter Fertility, Kim can help manage your treatment from initial consult to pregnancy whilst trying to minimise the travel impact to patients.
