Postpartum and Motherhood

A GROUNDED AND CALM NERVOUS SYSTEM CAN MAKE A PROFOUND DIFFERENCE IN HOW WE SHOW UP FOR OUR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN.

WE AIM TO PROVIDE A GENTLE SPACE FOR YOU TO REST, RELAX AND REGAIN YOUR STRENGTH, WHILE GUIDING YOUR BODY BACK TO A PLACE OF BALANCE.

Postpartum illnesses are both treatable and preventable in Traditional Chinese Medicine. We use acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to support the body by:

  • Replenishing the blood and energy that is lost after 10 months of pregnancy and birth.

  • Decreasing inflammation and rejuvenating the tissues of the body.

  • Regulating the nervous system to help calm the mind and body.

  • Regulating fluid metabolism and blood circulation.

Postpartum lasts for years - all Mothers are welcome. Chinese Medicine can enhance all stages of motherhood.

Herbal therapy can support you both internally and externally. We have custom made external herbal washes and yoni steams to treat the postpartum pelvic bowl.

We can treat the following conditions:

  • Low milk supply

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Postpartum depression and anxiety

  • Muscle and joint pain

  • Difficulty sleeping

  • Mastitis and blocked milk ducts

  • Constipation

  • Dizziness and headaches

  • Hemorrhoids

  • Persistant lochial discharge

  • Urinary difficulties

  • Spontaneous sweating or night sweats

  • Fever

  • Retained placenta

  • Insomnia

  • Nursing shoulder pain

At home visits:

Postpartum mother warming treatments are available as home visits, ideally 3-7 days postpartum. This is a wonderful opportunity to consolidate the body from its open post-birth state in to a place of nourishment, essentially setting the stage for a balanced recovery. This works by:

  • Warming the channels and uterus post birth to facilitate recovery.

  • Improving circulation of blood to reduce pain.

  • Benefiting the autonomic nervous system, to reduce stress and calm the mind and body.

  • Boosting energy and blood production.

  • Supporting overall quality of life.
