Obstetric Care
Pregnancy can be a time when the body undergoes many changes to hormones that may produce symptoms previously unknown
Many women would rather avoid taking drugs particularly during the first trimester.
I have a background of nursing, including several years in midwifery & gynaecology.
Over the years I have gained much experience in treating symptoms throughout the entire pregnancy with Acupuncture.
​
I have found the following symptoms respond well to Acupuncture treatment.
-
Morning sickness
-
Hyperemesis Gravidarum
-
Headaches
-
Sinusitis
-
Neck and back discomfort
-
Sciatica
-
Foot pain
-
Mild skin problems
-
Stress and anxiety
-
Breech babies may be turned (naturally) between 32 – 35 weeks.
-
Miscarriage prevention
-
Labour facilitation

By the insertion of fine disposable needles placed at carefully selected points along the meridian channels, your symptoms could disappear or be controlled without the use of any other medication, avoiding the risks of unwanted side effects.
Treatment is mostly painless, and there will be ample opportunity to discuss your treatment and to relax for an hour.
