Japanese Acupuncture for Pregnancy and Postnatal Care

Pregnancy is a time of immense transformation, physically, emotionally, and energetically. Japanese acupuncture provides gentle, non-invasive support through each trimester, helping to ease discomfort, promote calm, and sustain balance.

Each treatment is tailored to the stage of pregnancy and the needs of the individual. Techniques are gentle and grounding, with the intention of supporting both mother and baby.

Pre-labour treatments are also extremely beneficial aiming to gently prepare the body for a favorable delivery and positive breast feeding outcome.

During pregnancy, acupuncture may help to:

• Ease morning sickness and nausea

• Reduce fatigue and promote deeper rest

• Relieve back, hip, or pelvic pain

• Support digestion and ease reflux

• Calm anxiety and emotional fluctuations

• Encourage optimal baby positioning in late pregnancy

• Prepare the body for labour

After birth, acupuncture continues to play a valuable role in recovery and renewal.

Postnatal acupuncture can assist with:

• Hormonal balance and emotional stability

• Physical healing after delivery or surgery

• Encouraging lactation and easing blocked ducts

• Restoring energy and reducing fatigue

Moxibustion and cupping may also be used where gentle warmth or additional circulation support is needed. Each treatment offers space to rest, realign, and replenish, supporting the natural rhythm of recovery as you transition into motherhood.

Pregnancy brings profound physical and emotional change. Japanese acupuncture offers gentle, nurturing support throughout this time, helping to maintain balance, relieve discomfort, and promote a sense of calm wellbeing.
