Here with my acupuncturist, birthwork colleague, and fellow witch, fellow mama, Summer Nemri . Summer has relieved me of sleeplessness, stress, digestive trouble, and hormonal upheavals. ❤️
Have you considered Acupuncture during Pregnancy?! Over my 16 years in practice, I have seen hundreds of women from the beginning of their journey to motherhood- optimizing fertility and conception to breech baby presentation to labor prep and induction. Acupuncture can be so incredibly supportive from your first to your last trimester to lubricate and keep your joints limber, easing any discomfort you may experience as your baby grows. Many women also experience nausea in their first trimester, and sometimes beyond. Acupuncture is a great choice for naturally, and safely decreasing nausea and/or vomiting. I also make recommendations of herbs, foods, supplements and other “tricks” that can make a huge difference while you wait for symptoms to subside with time. I will often send women home with stick on needles (they don’t hurt) as a way to continue to stimulate points specific to decreasing nausea in between treatments.
I would love to support you to thrive during this sacred time of transformation! My main goal for women during this time is not only addressing their main concerns, but also holding a safe space for Rest and Relaxation. Supporting our overworked nervous systems is of utmost importance! When we are able to take time to be still and nurture the present moment, we are able to be more present in our bodies, and this naturally decreases stress hormones and eases our nervous systems, sending the message that we are safe, and that baby is safe too.
