Fertility Acupuncture 

Acupuncture can be a wonderful and effective addition to a preconception care plan. Treatments are tailored to your specific presentation and needs, and can involve gentle needling, moxa (moxibustion), cupping, gua sha, herbal medicine, and bodywork, red light therapy, and TEAS (transcutaneous electroacupuncture, which you can do at home on yourself after receiving training!).  These modalities are intended to support hormone balance, relieve pain, reduce stress, and support you as a whole person. Our care can be supportive for those who are planning on conceiving naturally or in tandem with reproductive procedures such as IUI and IVF.

Acupuncture for Pregnancy and Labor Preparation

Acupuncture to help prepare your body for labor can ease your birthing experience. Acupuncture can help create space for optimal alignment, as well as reduce labor pain. It also helps to prepare your body and mind for a smoother delivery.

During pregnancy, we offer treatments to reduce nausea and increase your energy. In the later stages, acupuncture readies your body for labor. Techniques like moxibustion and bodywork complement acupuncture to enhance your birthing process.

Postpartum Recovery Acupuncture

After your baby arrives, postpartum acupuncture can help support your recovery. Acupuncture can target healing, including scar healing after a C-section. It can also support milk production and assist with balancing your mood.

We provide a calming space for you during this transition. Our treatments help reduce pain, fatigue, and stress. Let us help you regain your strength and well-being as you embrace parenthood.
