Pregnancy

Supporting Pregnancy With Acupuncture & Massage

The medical system is great at checking how the baby is doing, but how is the mother doing? With all the joy and excitement, pregnancy can be a challenging time. Chinese medicine is effective at lessening usual symptoms like nausea and back pains, but it can also treat more severe conditions such as threatened miscarriage.

I have knowledge and experience which allows me to treat in a way that protects and strengthens the pregnancy. In addition to acupuncture, I practice pregnancy massage, helping women suffering from pains, and also allowing them to feel treated.

Common issues in pregnancy that I can help you with:

• Nausea
• Dizziness
• Tiredness
• Aches and pains (lower back and pelvic girdle, neck and shoulder, mid-back, knees, pubis symphysis dysfunction, carpal tunnel)
• Digestive issues: heartburn, constipation, hemorrhoids, diarrhoea
• Anxiety and Depression
• Insomnia
• Sinusitis
• Headaches and Migraines
• Edema (swelling)
• Cervical shortening and worry of premature birth
• Threatened miscarriage
• Breech or transverse babies (start treating around week 34)
