Prenatal Acupuncture
Supporting comfort and calm throughout pregnancy — right here in Groton, MA
● FOR MOTHERS-TO-BE
Gentle Prenatal Acupuncture
Pregnancy is a season of change—physical, emotional, personal. At The Violette House in Groton, MA, prenatal acupuncture offers care that supports your body as it adapts, easing discomfort while encouraging balance and calm.
Each treatment is personalized to your trimester, symptoms, and nervous system needs. Prenatal acupuncture supports comfort, steadiness, and preparation for birth—so you feel supported, grounded, and confident as pregnancy unfolds.
● FIRST TRIMESTER
Steadying the First Trimester
The first trimester can feel tender and uncertain. Care during this time is designed to be gentle and steady — helping ease discomfort, bring calm, and offer a sense of ease as your body begins this new phase. We listen closely, move slowly, and adjust care so you feel held, comfortable, and from the very beginning.
● SECOND TRIMESTER
Support as You Blossom
For many people, the second trimester is a time of greater ease and connection with pregnancy. Care during this phase supports your changing body, relieves tension, and helps you feel at home in yourself. We listen, adjust care as needs, and offer steady support so you move through this part with comfort and ease.
● THIRD TRIMESTER
Steady Support Third Trimester
The third trimester often brings a weight and a turning inward as you prepare for birth. Care during this time centers on comfort, and support as your body carries demand. We focus on easing back, hip, and pelvic tension, supporting sleep and digestion, and helping reduce stress as you prepare for labor and birth gently.
● SUPPORT IN EVERY TRIMESTER
How Acupuncture Supports Pregnancy
Gentle, pregnancy-safe acupuncture care to ease discomfort, support rest, and prepare the body for birth.
Back, Hip & Pelvic Pain

● POSTNATAL CARE
Care for the Fourth Trimester
Your fourth trimester deserves as much care as the first three. Acupuncture supports healing by regulating hormones, easing discomfort, and restoring energy. It offers steady support as you recover and adjust to motherhood with clarity, grounding, presence — bringing deeper ease as you heal each day ahead.

● QUESTIONS WE HEAR A LOT
What You Might Be Wondering
-

Acupuncture is flexible and adapts to your changing needs—whether you’d like consistent care throughout pregnancy or focused support in the final weeks.
-
Yes. When performed by a licensed, experienced practitioner, acupuncture is very safe. We use gentle techniques and carefully select points known to support pregnancy. Because it’s drug-free, acupuncture is a trusted option for women who want effective, natural support for themselves and their babies.

Frequency depends on your needs and stage of pregnancy. Some women come weekly in the first trimester for nausea, others visit every few weeks to manage ongoing symptoms, and many choose more frequent sessions as labor approaches. Together, we’ll create a rhythm that fits your health, comfort, and goals.
