Pregnancy & Postpartum Care

Pregnancy is a unique time in a person’s life for enhancing health and wellbeing, not only for the health of the baby but for your own long term health. Acupuncture & Chinese herbs work by harmonizing the mind and body, which has a significant and positive impact on your health and your baby's health. Regular treatments provide both physical and emotional support in a safe, gentle, and effective way during pregnancy.

Prenatal Acupuncture

Regular acupuncture throughout pregnancy sets a foundation for a positive and healthy labor, delivery and postpartum recovery. Prenatal treatments once a month are encouraged for every pregnant person. In the last month of pregnancy, weekly treatments have shown to reduce the need for medical inductions, decrease epidural rates and decrease cesarean sections.

Prenatal Acupuncture can help with:

• Anxiety/depression

• Back pain and sciatica

• Colds and Flu

• Constipation

• Diarrhea

• Edema

• Heartburn

• Hemorrhoids

• High blood pressure

• Insomnia

• Itching in pregnancy

Postnatal Acupuncture

Postpartum care is especially important for a person’s long term health. After having a baby everyone needs to find balance once again in your own body and mind while caring for your newborn. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs can help to restore the physical and energetic resources spent during pregnancy and labor and work with you to find that balance.
