We provide acupuncture to pregnant women seeking safe, effective care and support from specialised, highly qualified and experienced natural health professionals.
With a holistic approach, we tend to all aspects that impact your health throughout this enormous life change. We help you decipher the whirlwind of information and ideas about diet, lifestyle, birth and parenting choices. Your body is going through huge changes and your life is about to too! Riding through all this is not as easy as you may have imagined, and we are here to support you find your way to a healthier and more joyful pregnancy and motherhood experience. We feel that in supporting your health, you are also supporting the health and potential of the precious little life that you carry.
Commonly we see morning sickness, nausea, fatigue, headaches, back pain, breech position, birth preparation and induction and more. Having worked with many women undergoing IVF and fertility treatments, or those who have suffered a loss of pregnancy, we understand their needs and have many effective tools to support this precious pregnancy.
We are committed to optimising the health of your pregnancy, your little bubs health, encouraging a safe and flowing birth, to support the smoothest possible transition into motherhood.
Your treatment is individually tailored according to your needs, and your circumstances, in order to guide you towards optimal health.
Breech
If you have a breech baby, you can expect that you have a 75% chance of your little bundle of joy turning if you come to the clinic before 36 weeks gestation according to research.
Preparing for Birth
We like to offer mothers the easiest possible transition into motherhood. That means being as balanced as you can be before the birth – ideally, having plenty of energy, your hips and back balanced and able to open beautifully, to be sleeping well and feeling calm. When you are healthy (i.e. non-complicated pregnancy and feeling well), we begin our birth prep treatments from 36wks, as there may be unknown obstacles to birth starting and continuing in a flowing way. Depending on your situation, we will also begin to use acupuncture to encourage birth to begin. Usually, we prefer to wait until you are 39wks, though depending on your circumstances, there are many times where we begin with you a little earlier or later. Once we approach your due date, we start acupuncture induction – to help get birth started.
