Description of fertility acupuncture treatment:
Acupuncture treatment is customized to each individual, focusing on restoring internal balance and supporting the body’s natural fertility potential. Prenatal acupuncture assists in regulating hormones and the menstrual cycle, reducing stress and anxiety and improving blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. Acupuncture is often used in tandem with fertility treatments to increase success rates when timed before and after embryo transfer and to reduces side effects from fertility medications.

Description of prenatal acupuncture treatment:
Acupuncture is commonly used in early pregnancy to alleviate morning sickness, nausea and vomiting or motion sensitivity. It also provides natural relief from common pregnancy pains, such as lower back pain, Pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, or headaches. It can be a drug-free option for those avoiding medications during pregnancy.
Moxibustion (a heat-based technique used alongside acupuncture) is sometimes used to help turn breech babies into a head-down position—especially around weeks 34–38.
Additionally, specific acupuncture points are used to optimize uterine and pelvic space through muscle relaxation
In the last weeks of pregnancy, starting around week 36 or 37, acupuncture can be used in a supportive, preparatory way to encourage a smoother, more efficient labor process.
Acupuncture may promote cervical ripening, increase blood flow to the uterus and support hormonal balance for a smoother labor onset. Some evidence suggests it can shorten labor duration and reduce the need for medical induction.

Preparation is your key to a successful feeding relationship.
During your prenatal consultation you can ask questions and voice concerns regarding your feeding goals (breast and/or formula) with our experienced lactation consultant BEFORE the arrival of your baby.
Learn about baby's nutritional needs, how and when to use a pump or bottles, and even collect milk (colostrum collection) to have ready for when your baby comes!
Things don't always go as planned.
Our lactation consultation can help with latching difficulties due to nipple variations, milk supply concerns, lip or tongue ties, separation from baby, pumping, bottle-feeding, blocked milk ducts, feeding multiples and more! The consultation includes a pre- and post- feed weight check.
Together, we will make feeding your baby a positive, bonding experience.
There may be transitions during your feeding journey.
Our lactation consultant will assist you with breastfeeding support, baby growth concerns, milk supply, supplementing, pumping, introducing bottles or cups, medications while breastfeeding, teething, introducing solid foods, weaning, and strategies for your return to work.
