Acupuncture practice with a strong focus on women’s health, including gynecological issues, fertility, pregnancy concerns and postpartum recovery.
We offer packages specifically focused on supporting you in pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Towards the end of one’s pregnancy, acupuncture can be a great resource to help get the body ready for the immense work of labor. The less stagnation and discomfort you are feeling in those last weeks, the better your body will adapt to the changes during labor and birth. The same goes for immediately after giving birth. Postpartum support in healing and adapting to your new world of motherhood is greatly accentuated by balancing acupuncture treatments.
This package includes:
If you find yourself on bed rest during your pregnancy, but would still like to receive acupuncture to relieve the common discomforts of the last trimester, and to prepare your body for the task of labor, I can come to you. After birth, I encourage my patients to heal and recover in their own home during the traditional “laying in period”. I want to help you make this a comforting time while you’re learning about your new little one. I bring my supplies to your home for an acupuncture treatment in the comfort of your own bed (or couch). These treatments can promote postpartum healing, successful breastfeeding, and emotional support. In-home treatments are available to those living within a reasonable distance of my office in Chicago.
