Restore balance to your mind and body as your family grows
During pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period your body goes through rapid and extreme changes. These changes are echoed in your family and community as everyone adjusts to the delights and challenges of having a new being to interact with and care for. I work with birth parents and other family members to support healing and return balance to the physical, mental, and emotional health of your whole family.
Fertility
The three months before conception are the most important in preparing your body for a healthy pregnancy. If you are having trouble, Chinese medicine balances your body and strengthens your chances of conception with or without reproductive technologies.
Pregnancy
Regular Chinese medicine treatments during pregnancy help maintain a healthy pregnancy, reduce the discomforts of normal pregnancy, and prepare your body for delivery.
Labor
Acupuncture and acupressure can promote the start and progress of labor as well as reduce discomforts during labor. I will show you and your birth team the basics or attend your labor at home or in the hospital (as regulations allow).
Postpartum
According to Chinese medicine the postpartum period is a special and sensitive time. Recovering well in the first 6 weeks after childbirth is important in your ongoing health and can prevent later issues with reproductive and overall wellbeing. I provide acupuncture, mother warming, and postpartum doula services, including nourishing meals to support optimal recovery.
