🤱Acupuncture for Postpartum Recovery🤱

The weeks and months after birth are beautiful, but they can also be overwhelming — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Acupuncture offers gentle, holistic support to help new mothers recover and thrive:
🌿 Emotional balance – supports mood, eases anxiety, and helps with “baby blues.”
🌿 Physical healing – encourages circulation, tissue repair, and faster recovery.
🌿 Rest & energy – promotes deeper sleep and helps replenish energy reserves.
🌿 Hormonal balance – supports the body as it finds its new rhythm after birth.

When a mother feels supported, the whole family benefits. 💛

If you’re in your postpartum journey (or preparing for it), know that you don’t have to walk it alone. Gentle support is here for you. 🌸

🤰✨ Acupuncture in Pregnancy ✨🤰

Pregnancy is such a beautiful journey, but it can also come with its challenges. Acupuncture offers safe, natural support at every stage — helping both body and mind feel more balanced.

Here are just a few ways acupuncture can help during pregnancy:
🌿 Nausea & Morning Sickness – gently eases queasiness and helps restore energy.
🌿 Back, Hip & Pelvic Pain – relieves tension as your body changes and grows.
🌿 Sleep & Relaxation – supports deeper rest and reduces stress or anxiety.
🌿 Labor Preparation – in the final weeks, acupuncture can encourage the body to soften, relax, and get ready for birth.

Every pregnancy is unique, and acupuncture can be tailored to support you through each stage. 💛

If you’re curious about how acupuncture might help you in pregnancy, I’d love to connect with you. 🌸

🌸 Fertility Tip: Gentle Cooling for Summer Balance 🌸

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, summer is a time of abundance and warmth — the body is more open and active. While it’s tempting to reach for icy drinks and lots of raw foods, too much cold can weaken digestion and slow the flow of Qi and blood to the reproductive system.

Instead, support your fertility this summer with gentle cooling choices that refresh without depleting:
🔅Room-temperature or lightly chilled water with lemon or cucumber
🔅Fresh seasonal fruits like berries, peaches, and watermelon (in moderation)
🔅Lightly cooked veggies and cooling herbs like mint or cilantro
🔅Avoid excess ice, frozen treats, or large amounts of raw salads every day

The key is balance — enjoying summer’s gifts while keeping your body nourished and your “warm palace” supported. 🌿💛

Save this as a reminder for your fertility journey, or share it with someone who could use a little summer balance. 🔅

When she first came to see me, she felt overwhelmed and discouraged after years of trying. Together, we focused on regulating her cycles, supporting her emotional well-being, and building her health from the inside out.

She went on to carry and deliver a healthy baby, and she and her husband are now proud, happy parents. 💕
This is why I do what I do!

"After years of fertility treatments, I went to Carly and after 3 months I found out I was pregnant. Carly is amazing and such a kind hearted woman. I strongly feel with Carly's treatments is the reason I had a healthy pregnancy. She listens to your needs and comes up with the best treatment for you."

Healing in progress💛

Earlier this week, I was contacted by a gentleman looking for acupuncture treatments for his mother, who suffered a stroke in May. Since then, she had been unable to speak and was paralyzed on her left side.

During her very first treatment, something truly incredible happened, she began moving her left leg on her own for the first time since the stroke. A few hours later, she was able to speak a few words and even clear her throat.

These are the moments that give powerful reminders of the body's innate ability to heal when given the right support.

Every journey is unique, and while healing isn't always linear, moments like these offer real hope. I'm honoured to support people and families through these deeply personal experiences.

Acupuncture during pregnancy can offer several benefits, including:

1. **Relief from Nausea and Vomiting:** Acupuncture can help reduce symptoms of morning sickness, especially during the first trimester.

2. **Pain Management:** It can alleviate pregnancy-related aches and pains, including lower back pain, pelvic pain, and sciatica.

3. **Stress and Anxiety Reduction:** Acupuncture can help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation and overall emotional well-being.

4. **Improved Sleep:** Many pregnant women report better sleep patterns and reduced insomnia with acupuncture.

5. **Reduction in Edema:** Acupuncture can help decrease swelling in the legs and feet.

6. **Labor Preparation:** In the third trimester, acupuncture may help prepare the body for labor, potentially reducing the duration and discomfort of childbirth.

7. **Digestive Health:** It can alleviate digestive issues such as constipation and heartburn.

8. **Breech Position:** Acupuncture and moxibustion may help in turning a breech baby to the correct position for birth.

While acupuncture can be beneficial, it should be performed by a qualified practitioner experienced in treating pregnant women.
