Congratulations! You are now embarking on an amazing journey. I can support you and your baby throughout your pregnancy and beyond …
Acupuncture During Pregnancy
Acupuncture can be used throughout pregnancy to ease many common conditions, including:
Nausea & morning sickness
Stress, anxiety & depression – I appreciate that pregnancy can be difficult, especially if the steps to achieving a pregnancy haven’t been easy. Many people who came to me for fertility support, move to pregnancy support – the team work continues. Achieving a pregnancy after loss and/or difficult steps towards conception isn’t the end of the journey – your stress & anxiety levels may become elevated …. A little additional support can make those first 12 weeks that bit easier.
Tension & migraine type headaches
Musculo-skeletal aches & pains eg back & sciatic pain
Symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) or pelvic girdle pain (PGP)
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Heartburn
Constipation
Insomnia
Acupuncture & Moxibustion for Breech Baby
Chinese Medicine offers a simple non invasive treatment for breech presentation. A one-off treatment using moxibustion is given, ideally around 34 weeks. Specific acupuncture points are stimulated using heat. You are then taught how to repeat the treatment at home and provided with all you need to continue your treatment.
Preparing for Labour & Baby on Time
Pre-birth Acupuncture is a series of 4-6 treatments in the four to six weeks leading up to your due date which can give a number of benefits including:
- a timely arrival of baby
- a reduction in stress and anxiety
- a reduction in the length of labour
