During pregnancy many women seek the help and support of regular Acupuncture treatments. It is a complementary therapy that is safe, effective and comfortable to receive throughout your pregnancy.
Conditions that I treat on a regular basis include:
- Nausea/Morning Sickness
- Blood pressure issues
- Heartburn
- Constipation
- Muscular-skeletal pains
- Varicose Veins and Haemorroids
- Fatigue and exhaustion
- Insomnia
- Anxiety/Depression
- Itching in pregnancy
- Breech and posterior presentation
- Post-natal treatment and dietary advise
Acupuncture as a pre-birth treatment
I also practice pre-birth Acupuncture, this can enhance the prospects of an efficient labour, teaching acupressure to a women’s partner for support people can make a great difference to the levels of pain experienced during labour.
I have attended further studies with the world renowned Acupuncturist and Midwife Debra Betts from New Zealand.
