Pregnancy

If you trust the inherant wisdom of the body you know that the body can not be forced into being pregnant or going into labor. Babies come when they are ready, but we can support the body to be at it’s strongest when the time comes. Jasmine’s approach is gentle and holistic with the long term health of the mother and baby her utmost priority.

Pregnancy is a very special time in a woman’s life. When the body is healthy, it can be an energetic and joyful experience. But if the body is out of balance it can be uncomfortable and stressful. Whether you feel your body is out of balance, or you are really enjoying pregnancy and want to help your body stay in alignment for the upcoming labor acupuncture can help. All treatments are gentle and in consideration of the baby and mother working together.

Numerous studies about the safety and effectiveness of acupuncture for pregnancy related issues have been done. The following is a list of some of the issues that can be addressed:

• Morning Sickness
• Anemia
• Digestive issues, heartburn
• Constipation
• Hemorrhoids
• Depression and Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Turning breech babies
• High blood pressure

It is recommended that every woman consider coming throughout pregnancy for preventative health and especially weekly starting at 35 weeks to prepare for and encourage a healthy normal labor.
