Restorative Postpartum Wellness
Our postpartum treatments go beyond acupuncture—combining moxa, cupping, and herbal therapy to help you heal fully and feel like yourself again. Whether you’re addressing fatigue, discomfort, or hormonal shifts, we build a custom plan to support you at every stage of postpartum healing.
Lactation Support That Heals & Nourishes
Acupuncture naturally enhances lactation by increasing circulation, balancing hormones, and easing engorgement. Combined with herbal guidance and nutritional support, it creates a nurturing environment for both mother and baby—helping you breastfeed with greater ease and confidence.
INTEGRATIVE POSTPARTUM CARE
How Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine Support Recovery
Gentle therapies to nourish your body, mind, and milk flow after childbirth.
Enhance Milk Supply
We nourish the Spleen and Stomach, build Blood, and generate fluids—improving digestion and restoring energy, especially after difficult births or blood loss.
Support Let-Down
By gently soothing Liver Qi stagnation caused by stress or fatigue, we ease anxiety, promote deeper, more restful sleep, and facilitate smooth milk flow.
Relieve Engorgement
Acupuncture clears internal heat and moves stagnant Qi and Blood to relieve clogged ducts, reduce breast tenderness, and restore comfort.
Ease Weaning Naturally
Using herbal formulas and gentle needling, we help your body taper off lactation—minimizing discomfort and supporting a smooth transition.
Acupuncture for C-Section Recovery
Acupuncture paired with red light therapy can help minimize scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and support faster healing after cesarean birth. At The Violette House, we use Celluma LED therapy and gentle needling to relieve pain, soften scar tissue, and restore comfort and mobility.
