    Acupuncture supports pregnancy by providing more blood, oxygen and nutrients to your body, it is also a wonderful way to relieve stress. Treatments range from relieving morning sickness, heart burn, sleep disturbances, hypertension, or back pain. From weeks 28-34 breech babies may be turned, during weeks 37-39 the cervix is ripened & labor prep begins, at 40+ weeks natural labor induction is supported.

    Treatments are recommended once a week throughout your entire pregnancy to help grow a healthy, well-developed, baby. For high risk pregnancies it is recommend to come in for treatments bi-weekly during the first trimester. The treatments are relatively painless & there are no adverse side effects for you or baby.

POSTNATAL SUPPORT 

We believe that restoring your health after labor is a critical part of the postnatal period, also known as the fourth trimester. Postnatal acupuncture, gentle herbal remedies, moxibustion therapies, and nutritional guidance are all used to provide vital support and nourishment during this special time. 

WHAT TO EXPECT

Throughout these visits, our goal is to restore balance to your reproductive hormones, establish or increase milk supply, alleviate stress, anxiety or depression, shrink the uterus, aid in C-section recovery, treat any residual aches & pains from labor, boost energy, and simply bring harmony back to the body. 

SPECIALTY THERAPIES

  • Moxibustion for Breech Babies

    Moxibustion is a specialized technique that encourages breech babies to turn naturally into the optimal head-down position. It is recommended to begin treatments as early as week 28 if your baby has not yet settled into this position. During your sessions, we will not only perform moxibustion but also teach you how to safely practice this technique at home. Additionally, we will provide you with targeted stretches to complement the therapy, empowering you to continue this effective approach on a daily basis and enhance your chances of a smoother delivery.

  • Promote Healthy Labor

    Beginning at 36 weeks, it is recommended to come in for acupuncture to promote cervical ripening and dilation, shorten the length of labor, and prevent overdue births. This gentle and effective approach can help prepare your body for delivery and enhance the overall birthing experience. Electro-stimulation techniques may also be used to invigorate a sluggish labor, encouraging progress and helping to avoid the need for chemical inductions. Embrace this natural support as you approach your labor with confidence and ease.
