PREGNANCY SUPPORT
Acupuncture for pregnancy and birth is a safe, effective and natural treatment for all stages
of your pregnancy from the early stages right the way through to birth preparation.
Treatments address pregnancy related issues and offer relief when other options might not
be possible.
Ensuring that you are in good physical and mental health during pregnancy, for labour and
the postnatal period is important.
I offer acupuncture during pregnancy for:
· nausea & morning sickness
· headaches & body pain
· digestive problems
· insomnia and tiredness
· stress and anxiety
· breech presentation - see the blog for more details
· preparation for labour
· pre-birth preparation and relaxation

Preparation for labour and pre-birth acupuncture:
Pre-birth acupuncture is a series of specialist acupuncture individual treatments given once
a week, from 37 or 38 weeks until delivery, using a combination of acupuncture and
massage.
Treatment in these final weeks of pregnancy aims to promote natural efficient labour by
helping the mother-to-be to relax and prepare her body for birth.

POST NATAL RECOVERY

Postpartum acupuncture and use of moxibustion, from five days after the birth, is an
effective and gently powerful treatment, that support the mother’s energy.
Postpartum acupuncture can support you with: 
 hormonal balance helping with common symptoms like night sweats
 postpartum pain relief, such as back pain, perineal discomfort, pelvic pain, sciatic
pain c-section recovery
 anxiety and stress reduction, promoting relaxation
 energy levels, helping with fatigue and exhaustion
