How can acupuncture help during your Pregnancy ?

Acupuncture for pregnancy & birth is a safe and nurturing treatment. I love supporting patients through their pregnancy and find that treatments offer relief when all other options are not possible or haven’t been successful.

Acupuncture may help by easing the following conditions in pregnancy:

  • Nausea

  • Backache and sciatica

  • Constipation

  • Heartburn

  • Groin pain

  • Pubic symphysis pain

  • Stress and anxiety

Let Me Help You

"I understand that pregnancy can be difficult, especially if you have been through fertility treatment, miscarriage and infertility struggles before getting to this point. Many people who came to me for fertility support, move to pregnancy support once they have conceived and it’s one of the most rewarding parts of this work. We know that being pregnant after loss and/or a difficult road to conception isn’t the end of the journey and that it can be both stressful and cause a lot of anxiety. Patients find that continuity of support and care with me can help alleviate some of these issues, especially during the first 12 weeks.

Coming to see Elaine for acupuncture to soothe my pregnancy-related nausea and sickness became a highlight of each week. I found Elaine to be tremendously compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. In addition to the acupuncture itself which I feel alleviated and reduced my symptoms, I much appreciated Elaine’s listening ear and ever-ready advice and reassurance. I don’t know how I would have got through the pregnancy without her! It was also very special to come to such a calm, warm space for the treatment wherein I felt completely comfortable and could relax totally, I cannot recommend Elaine highly enough.
