Postnatal Approach

● PRENATAL SUPPORT

What Prenatal Acupuncture Helps With

At The Violette House, we support comfort, circulation, and balance through every stage of pregnancy.

Nausea and digestive discomfort are common early in pregnancy. Acupuncture gently supports digestion and the nervous system to reduce nausea, improve appetite, and restore steadier energy so you can feel more comfortable moving through your day.

Persistent fatigue can make pregnancy feel heavier than expected. Acupuncture supports circulation and nervous system balance to improve energy, reduce exhaustion, and help you feel more steady and present throughout the day.

Emotional changes are part of pregnancy. Acupuncture gently calms the nervous system, reduces stress responses, and supports emotional steadiness so you can feel more grounded, supported, and at ease as your body and life shift.

As your body changes, strain in the lower back, hips, and pelvis can increase. Acupuncture supports circulation and muscle relaxation to ease tension, reduce discomfort, and help you move more freely as pregnancy progresses.

Fluid retention and swelling can develop as pregnancy advances. Acupuncture supports healthy circulation and fluid movement, helping reduce heaviness in the legs, feet, and hands while supporting overall comfort and ease.

Tension, circulation changes, and hormonal shifts can contribute to headaches. Acupuncture supports blood flow and relaxation, helping reduce headache frequency and intensity while encouraging a calmer, clearer sense of well-being.

Pregnancy can affect digestion, leading to bloating, heartburn, or constipation. Acupuncture gently supports digestive function and circulation to ease discomfort and help your system move with more comfort and regularity.

In later pregnancy, acupuncture supports pelvic balance, circulation, and nervous system readiness. This gentle preparation helps your body feel more aligned, supported, and steady as you approach labor and birth.
