Pregnancy care

During pregnancy, being your healthiest physically, emotionally and spiritually is vital for both mother and baby. At Eastern Healing we provide women with prenatal support to empower wellness and identify any issues that could impact you or your baby. Prenatal support is individualized to each patient, and designed to meet your unique needs while ensuring a healthy pregnancy.

Prenatal issues can include:

Migraines
Sciatic pain
Back pain
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Morning sickness
Fatigue
Insomnia
Muscle cramps
Nutritional deficients
Mood swings
Anxiety

Prenatal care may involve acupuncture, nutrition therapy, and other components of holistic medicine that support your health in a natural way, thereby supporting the health of your baby. When there is a problem, our holistic medicine practitioners work to identify the root cause in order to develop the most effective treatment instead of treating symptoms which is common in modern medicine.

At Eastern Healing we understand your desire to be the healthiest you can be during pregnancy. You have created life, a life that depends on your physical and emotional well-being to thrive.

Testimonials

Just before my husband and I conceived my daughter I began using Peter’s services and I continued to visit him regularly throughout my pregnancy. He helped me through the nausea and fatigue of the 1st trimester, the backaches and hemorrhoids in the 2nd trimester, and the fatigue (again) and general discomfort in the 3rd trimester. Finally when it came to the time when my doctor insisted that I be induced, Peter met me at the hospital and assisted in my induction. He also worked with my husband during my pregnancy and at the hospital teaching him acupressure points that would help with pain management through labor. All of which were extremely helpful. After 12 hours of labor I delivered a healthy baby girl Ava Elizabeth, without the use of pain medication! Peter is not only one of the most professional people I have ever met, but he quickly became a friend of mine. Thank you Peter!
