Encouragement of labor
High cortisol levels which indicate your body is under stress may interfere with the process of initiating labor. It’s hard for your body to feel ready to welcome a baby when it is in fight or flight mode. Acupuncture lowers cortisol levels, inflammation, and muscle tension that allows for you to feel more prepared, mentally and physically for the arrival of your baby. 1-2 sessions of acupuncture can help induce labor and make contractions a bit easier due to the relaxation you receive from treatment.
Pregnancy Pain, Nausea, and stress
In addition to eating and sleeping well, taking time for yourself to relax and breathe with acupuncture can be highly beneficial throughout pregnancy for nausea, back pain, stress management, and more.
Fertility
Fertility is an extension of your overall health. Along with some lifestyle and dietary changes, acupuncture can help regulate your hormones, relax your mind, and prepare you for the child of your dreams. Dealing with miscarriages and infertility can feel as it there is no light at the end of the tunnel, but there is. There is true magic in the opportunity to take back your power, reignite hope, and make peace with your body. I offer sessions centered on both women and couples.
