Pregnancy Acuneedling
What is Acuneedling?
Acuneedling is a gentle and effective way to support you throughout pregnancy, birth, and your postpartum journey.
Acuneedling is a technique derived from traditional Chinese medicine, involving the use of fine, sterile needles inserted at specific points on the body. It’s designed to balance energy (Qi) flow, enhance well-being, and alleviate discomfort. I use this method to target common pregnancy concerns and prepare the body for a smoother, more empowered birth experience.
How Can Acuneedling Support You?
Whether you’re navigating the physical changes of pregnancy, preparing for labour, or recovering postpartum, Acuneedling offers a range of benefits:
Relief from Pregnancy Discomforts: Acuneedling can help manage common symptoms like nausea, fatigue, back pain, swelling, high blood pressure, anaemia and growth restriction along with providing natural relief without medication.
Birth Preparation: Specific Acuneedling techniques are used to encourage optimal baby positioning, soften the cervix, and support the body’s natural labour processes, helping you feel ready and empowered for birth.
Postpartum Healing: Post-birth, Acuneedling aids in physical and emotional recovery. It can promote healing, improve milk supply, and balance hormones to support your overall well-being during the early days of motherhood.
What to expect in your Acuneedling treatment.
Sessions are tailored to your individual needs and are done in a reclining chair, sitting up or laying on your side. The sterile needles stay in for around 20 minutes, before being removed. Small press pins or press magnets may be applied to continue the treatment over the next couples of days.
