Pregnancy

With an extensive background in Midwifery and Women's Health, we know pregnancy and you will be in safe hands at Naissance. Acupuncture is an effective way to help women to be as comfortable as they can be through pregnancy offering a drug-free option for treatment. It is also a fabulous way to prepare your body for the birth.

What people often come to see us for during pregnancy and the postpartum period:

• Early pregnancy support

• Nausea and vomiting

• Headaches

• sacroiliac and symphysis pubis pain

• Carpal tunnel

• Low mood and low energy

• Malpositioned babies; breech presentations are best seen from 32-34 weeks

• Labour preparation; which is best from 36-37 weeks

• Post dates

• Low milk supply 

We believe in encouraging a slow postpartum, not a race to return to normal. With this in mind, if you can come and see us in the first month following birth, a Mother Roasting treatment that helps restore energy and aid in your recovery is a fabulous option. 

This is a time where you are building a new human being from your resources. We can provide top quality, practitioner only products that help ensure you have what is needed on hand to do this building, without leaving you completely depleted. We also have access to certain Western Herbs as needed, in particular Prebirth Herbal Drops with the specific aim to get your body ready for birth along side the weekly pre birth acupuncture.
