Pre Birth Acupuncture

Pre birth acupuncture consists of 4 weekly sessions from 36/37 weeks to prepare the body for birth. Research has shown this reduces medical intervention and labor duration. The aim of the treatment is to prepare the body for birthing, not just physically but emotionally too.  Birthing and transitioning into motherhood is an amazing experience but can be difficult without a supportive network around you. At the last session post 39 weeks your birthing partner can attend to learn acupressure to support you during birth and at home moxa use. At this session you will receive a take home moxibustion stick.  Treatments include acupuncture, massage, cupping and moxibustion to assist 'opening the baby gate'  for labor to commence.
