● FOR NEW MOTHERS
Calm Postnatal Support
After pregnancy and birth, your body undergoes profound shifts. Hormones change rapidly, your nervous system is often in a heightened state, and your physical body is healing from an intense experience that deserves support.
Treatments work by encouraging your natural response — supporting circulation, calming the nervous system, and helping you move out of survival mode and into restoration. This helps your body gently rebalance and recover.
● GENTE HEALING AFTER BIRTH
Healing After C-Section
Healing after a cesarean birth is a layered process involving your body, your nervous system, and your emotional wellbeing. It deserves time and care that honors what you have experienced and supports your body as it slowly settles and repairs.
Postpartum acupuncture supports circulation, calms the nervous system, and helps soften protective tension around the incision area. When appropriate, red light therapy encourages tissue health and comfort as your body restores strength.
C-Section Recovery Timeline
Early Healing
In the first weeks, treatments focus on calming your body’s recovery response. Acupuncture helps reduce swelling, support circulation, and ease the discomfort that often follows surgery.
Scar Care + Red Light
This is when scar care becomes essential. Gentle acupuncture paired with red light therapy helps soften tissue, reduce inflammation, and ease sensitivity—supporting smoother healing and greater comfort.
Mobility & Strength
As your body rebuilds, treatments shift toward restoring mobility and supporting your core. Acupuncture reduces adhesions, relieves tightness, and helps you return to movement with more ease.
Long-Term Comfort
Ongoing care helps maintain softness around the scar and supports your strength as you settle into motherhood. Acupuncture and light therapy promote resilience so you feel like yourself again.
