Pregnancy is a time of remarkable change. While it can be an exciting experience, it can also bring a range of physical and emotional changes as your body adapts throughout each stage of pregnancy.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that takes an individualised approach to health and wellbeing. Treatments are adapted according to your stage of pregnancy, your individual circumstances and how you are feeling at the time.

If you are considering acupuncture during pregnancy, we will discuss your individual circumstances, stage of pregnancy and any relevant health information before treatment. Your care will always be approached with your pregnancy and wellbeing in mind.

Acupuncture should be considered complementary to, rather than a replacement for, appropriate maternity and medical care.

Postnatal

The postnatal period brings significant physical, hormonal and emotional changes. While much of the focus understandably falls on the baby, making time for your own wellbeing is important too.

The early weeks and months of motherhood can be demanding. Adjusting to life with a newborn, disrupted sleep and the physical and emotional demands of feeding, carrying and caring for a baby can leave little time for yourself.

Acupuncture offers a calm space to pause, rest and reconnect with yourself during this period of transition.

Treatments are individualised according to your stage of recovery, general health and what you would like support with.

Whether you are looking for some time for yourself, a moment of calm or simply an opportunity to rest, appointments provide a supportive space during the transition into motherhood.

Acupuncture should be considered complementary to appropriate postnatal and medical care.
