Program for Healthy Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings about incredible and profound change in a woman’s body. As caring mothers, we are careful and diligent about nourishing this new life.
Along with all the excitement of pregnancy can come some uncomfortable symptoms like nausea or back pain. Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment that has been used for over 2000 years to alleviate conditions during pregnancy without the unwanted side effects of drugs.
Our practitioners have special training and interest in the use of acupuncture for treating unwanted symptoms during pregnancy. We can help you with your pregnancy concerns including:
• Threatened Miscarriage • Morning sickness / Nausea • Fatigue • Back pain, sciatica and pelvic girdle pain • Edema and Swelling • Breech presentation • Posterior presentation
• Birth Preparation & Labour Induction • Pain Relief During Labour
• Postpartum Care • Breastfeeding
Treatment Plan for a Healthy, Natural Pregnancy
(developed by Acubalance, a leader in the field of Oriental Reproductive Medicine)
First Trimester Weekly acupuncture treatments until week 12 of your pregnancy. Acupuncture can help prevent miscarriage, manage nausea and vomiting, increase energy, prevent constipation and bloating, reduce anxiety and help with sleep.
Second Trimester Acupuncture monthly or as needed. Acupuncture can help maintain health and prevent common pregnancy symptoms like back pain, hip pain, headaches, stress, pelvic pain, sciatica, indigestion, insomnia.
Third Trimester Weekly treatments starting at 32 weeks if your baby is in a breech presentation, otherwise weekly treatments starting at 37 weeks to prepare for labor. Acupuncture can help optimally position your baby, ripen your cervix, increase energy, reduce anxiety, manage edema and reduce high blood pressure.
Fourth Trimester Weekly treatments at one to two weeks postpartum to help increase milk production, prevent postpartum depression, restore energy and support the healing process from tearing or Cesarian birth. Tanya also offers a postpartum kit including home therapies to help with recovering and breastfeeding.
“In the years I have known Tanya, my practice has changed considerably. Every client I have sent her way has gone into labor before their scheduled chemical induction date.” – Natasha M, doula
