Acupuncture works by restoring balance, easing symptoms, and supporting your body as it adapts to pregnancy. Here’s how:

Reduces nausea and fatigue while supporting digestion and sleep.
Balances Hormones
Regulates mood, eases anxiety, and supports endocrine health.
Boosts Circulation
Improves uterine blood flow, nutrient delivery, and placental health.
Promotes Wellness
Calms the nervous system and encourages deep relaxation throughout early pregnancy.
OUR INTAKE
Gentle Acupuncture for Early Pregnancy
At The Violette House, every treatment begins with a thorough intake to understand your stage of pregnancy, current symptoms, and overall health. We tailor each session for comfort and safety, working closely with your prenatal care provider. Our goal is to help you feel lighter, more rested, and more supported — so you leave each visit ready to move through your week with renewed energy and peace of mind.
WEEK-BY-WEEK CARE
Your First Trimester Acupuncture Roadmap
The first trimester brings big changes — physically, hormonally, and emotionally. Acupuncture supports you through each stage so you feel more comfortable and prepared for what’s ahead.
Weeks 4–6 – Gentle Beginnings
In these earliest weeks, we focus on calming nausea and morning sickness, easing fatigue, and supporting digestion as your body adjusts to hormonal shifts. Gentle treatments help regulate appetite and encourage emotional steadiness, giving you a more comfortable start to pregnancy.
Weeks 7–10 – Building Strength
As your baby grows, we work to boost energy, ease muscle tension, and address headaches or bloating. Treatments also support healthy circulation to ensure your baby receives optimal nourishment, while regulating mood and calming anxiety for a more balanced mind and body.
Weeks 11–13 – Preparing for the Second Trimester
In the final stretch of the first trimester, our care helps maintain steady energy, improve sleep quality, and ease any lingering nausea. We strengthen your body’s resilience so you enter the second trimester feeling well-rested, balanced, and ready for the months ahead.
The First Trimester & Pregnancy Health
The earliest weeks lay the foundation for your baby’s development and your own wellness. While every pregnancy is unique, acupuncture offers safe, natural support to reduce discomfort, lower stress, and create a healthy environment for you and your growing baby.
