Pregnancy and Post-Partum Support
Pregnancy is a time of tremendous physical, emotional, and hormonal change. Acupuncture can be used throughout pregnancy to support maternal well-being, fetal health, address common discomforts, and complement conventional prenatal care.
I work with both uncomplicated and medically complex pregnancies, often in collaboration with obstetricians, midwives, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and other healthcare providers. Many patients seek acupuncture for concerns such as nausea, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, back or pelvic pain, breech presentation, preparation for labor, or support following previous pregnancy complications.
Treatment plans are individualized. Many patients are seenweekly during the first trimester, when symptoms and concerns are often most pronounced, less frequently during the middle months of pregnancy, and more often again in the final weeks if support for labor and delivery is desired.
