PREGNANCY CARE

Acupuncture during pregnancy is a safe way to support you during this time of change for your body.

Preparation for birth

Research has shown Acupuncture may be helpful support cervical ripening and decrease medical labour induction intervention. I offer labour support from 36 weeks to help get your body ready for the arrival of your baby.

Pregnancy care – Breech babies

Studies have shown that Moxibustion can help to turn babies head down, so they are in the correct position for birth. Its benefits in turning babies in the last few weeks of pregnancy has been studied in clinical trials. It is a safe and relaxing treatment. 

After your first treatment, I will show you how you can safely administer the treatment yourself in the comfort of your home. However, it is important that moxa is not tried at home before proper training from a qualified acupuncturist and with permission from your midwife or obstetrician.
