Pregnancy acupuncture

Prior to setting up Bribie Acupuncture last year, I worked in two fabulous acupuncture clinics in Brisbane specialising in fertility and pregnancy, and have been fortunate enough to be part of hundreds of journeys that started out with hope and open minds and have resulted in bouncing babies. Though my clinic in Bribie is often filled with the usual suspects, such as back and knee pain, I’ve had the privilege of assisting many Bribie locals with:

• Preconception health and natural fertility
• IVF and IUI support
• Pregnancy care
• Labour preparation and natural labour induction
• Postpartum care​

ACUPUNCTURE FOR PREGNANCY SUPPORT
Chinese medicine has promoted specialised treatment for women during pregnancy and postpartum for over 3000 years. Today this care is becoming increasingly popular and used by acupuncturists and specially trained midwives all over the world. Pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal recovery are viewed in Chinese medicine as ideal times to nurture a woman’s wellbeing to promote foetal and maternal health. Acupuncture is used to assist with a range of pregnancy related conditions, alleviating the discomfort that is often part of many pregnancies, and offering women an alternative to medication. Many integrative doctors, particularly those with a special focus on women’s health, fertility, and pregnancy, in fact recommend their clients to incorporate acupuncture as part of their pregnancy journeys.
