Less PAIN

Let us help you quickly and naturally recover from early pregnancy conditions, or better yet prevent them!
These are symptoms we always see in our clinic, often the most quick and successful to fix! There is no reason why a pregnant woman has to live with these unpleasant symptoms. Ingesting chemicals or drugs at this time is NOT an option. It’s all important to seek out the best natural medicine available to get your life and wellness back. Make this a time you can embrace with joy, not misery, pain or tears!
By boosting your energy, nourishing the blood in your body, softening ligaments and tendons, preparing the cervix and oxytocin levels to dilate you properly, guiding you with relaxation and building your knowledge, so you know what to expect….
Acupuncture in preparation for Labour & Birth is not only preferable, but essential.
PRE-CONCEPTION
For 3 to 4 months prior to conception, a healthy lifestyle plan is optimal for the best quality sperm and egg health. Bi-weekly Acupuncture for reproductive strength is beneficial during this time, as well as Reflexology and special nutrition, with complete guidance offered at clinic.

INDUCTION FOR LABOUR
Induction Acupuncture is designed to encourage late arrivals
Inducing Labour with Acupuncture is a procedure used to stimulate uterine contractions during pregnancy, before labour begins, usually with overdue cases.
Acupuncture could help stimulate contractions. These contractions start slowly and gently increase, allowing your body to produce natural endorphins to manage any discomfort.
Induction treatments are preformed by 40 weeks or performed 3 days prior to a medical induction; it is recommended you have acupuncture every 1-2 days until you deliver.
BREECH TREATMENT PLAN
Most babies turn to head down position between 28-32 weeks.
If by week 33 no turning has occurred it is a great time to try Acupuncture and Moxibustion.
Today the best midwives and health professionals recommend this plan for safe and painless turning of the baby!
At your appointment you’ll receive Acupuncture and you’ll be taught how to perform daily Moxibustion AT HOME.
MOXIBUSTION is a very gentle heat therapy that stimulates specific areas on your feet. World studies have shown over 75% success rate and in this clinic over 90% stunning success rates between weeks 33 and 37.
An essential bonding exercise for you and your birth partner
Helps to naturally deliver your baby together AS A TEAM.
Your partner can relieve your pain during contractions! And help your stages progress smoothly throughout labour
