It is effective for many chronic conditions and because of that; many pregnant women are turning to acupuncture to provide drug-free relief from many of the unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy. Acupuncture treatments can balance and support the flow of Qi during and after pregnancy and is able to target the common complaints that can arise at different stages.

Fertility: Many couples are discovering that there are many factors that can contribute to difficulty in conceiving. Traditional Chinese Medicine tackles fertility like anything else, by restoring your body to its natural balanced state. Acupuncture can treat both men and women who are trying to conceive with or without IVF. Recent studies have shown that patients who do acupuncture concurrently with their IVF treatments are more likely to conceive than those who do IVF alone.

Reflexology
Reflexology can be used to help conceive as well as helping out throughout the pregnancy. Reflexology is safe, pleasant, relaxing and it is not invasive. A Reflexology treatment will provide you with energy as a result of stimulating all the systems in your body and has been known to give a shorter, easier labour/delivery and recovery after the birth.

Pregnancy Hydrotherm Massage

Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy is a time of enormous change, both physically and emotionally. Massage is a wonderful way to support the mind/body changes that occur throughout the pregnancy. It can help relieve the pains and tensions experienced in pregnancy, such as backache, aching legs, and swollen feet.
