Pregnancy is a unique time in a woman's life for enhancing her health and wellbeing not only for the health of the baby but for her own long term health. Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs work by harmonizing the mind and body having a significant and positive impact on mother and baby's health. Regular treatments provide both physical and emotional support in a safe, gentle, and effective way during pregnancy.

Prenatal Acupuncture
Regular acupuncture throughout pregnancy sets a foundation for a positive and healthy labor, delivery and postpartum recovery. Prenatal treatments once a month are encouraged for every pregnant woman. In the last month of pregnancy, weekly treatments have shown to reduce the need for medical inductions, decrease epidural rates and decrease cesarean sections. These prenatal treatments also help boost the mother's energy and prepare both baby and mother for a positive, healthy labor, delivery and postpartum recovery.
