Pregnancy Acupuncture

Not only is it a major upheaval emotionally, but also physically.  A woman’s body needs to change to be able to grow another life inside her. These changes can bring unwelcome pregnancy related discomforts and disorders.

Acupuncture can support women preparing for pregnancy, throughout pregnancy and in the post-natal period. Acupuncture is a very safe mode of treatment without the side-effects that can be associated with pharmaceutical drugs.

From the perspective of Chinese medicine, pregnancy can accentuate existing minor imbalances in one’s health, exacerbate emotional confusion or upset and cause pregnancy disorders.

Eastern acupuncture looks to support the whole person mentally and physically. It works to restore balance, bringing a sense of calm and helping to alleviate symptoms.
