Pregnancy and Birth: The Miraculous Bumpy Ride to Motherhood

It is quite simply a miracle, but it’s not always simple

It may have taken you some time you get here, with some other bumps along the way. I can support you throughout your journey to parenthood, enhancing you and your baby’s wellbeing and helping you enjoy this life stage as much as possible. I can also provide continuity of care – many of my fertility patients continue treatment into their pregnancies and that’s one of the best parts of my job.

If you want to have the best pregnancy possible, I’m here to help. If you have complications, I’m here to help. Morning sickness and exhausted? I’ve got you!

If you have an induction looming, we can try to help things along, to smooth the path. Yes, it has been known we turn breech babies as well using moxibustion.

Acupuncture can really help with these pregnancy and birth stages and symptoms:

  • Tiredness

  • Morning sickness

  • Back ache

  • Pelvic girdle pain

  • Sciatica 

  • Swelling feet

  • Anxiety

  • Preparation for labour

  • Emotional support

I can also support you through wider complications alongside Western Medicine, if appropriate. If you have experienced recent or recurrent miscarriage or baby loss, I am here to help you.
