GROWING A HUMAN IS TOUGH.
ACUPUNCTURE CAN HELP.
PRENATAL ACUPUNCTURE THAT RELIEVES PAIN, TENSION, AND OVERWHELM- SAFELY AND GENTLY, AT EVERY STAGE.
YOUR BODY IS WORKING OVERTIME.
YOU DESERVE SUPPORT TOO.
Your body is working around the clock to grow another human, and somehow you're expected to just power through the pain, the nausea, the sleepless nights.
Whether this is your first or your fourth, the truth is the same: your body is under immense pressure - and it needs support.
Acupuncture isn't just about relieving symptoms.
It's about giving your nervous system space to rebalance, reset, and feel supported while you're doing the hardest work of your life.
You're not being dramatic. You're growing a human - and you deserve to feel good (or… at least, a little better…) while doing it.
WHAT WE SUPPORT
-
The early weeks hit hard. Morning sickness, exhaustion, anxiety about what's happening to your body. Acupuncture helps regulate hormones and ease the symptoms that make those first 12 weeks feel impossible.
Most patients come weekly until nausea subsides and energy returns.
-
The nausea's gone, but now everything aches.
As baby grows, your body compensates - and that means back pain, sciatica, and ligament pain.
We help you stay ahead of discomfort instead of constantly chasing it.
Most patients come every 2 weeks during this stage.
-
You're so close - and so uncomfortable.
Baby's running out of room, which means pelvic pressure, swelling, insomnia, and exhaustion that makes everything feel impossible.
We help manage pain, encourage breech babies to turn (using moxibustion), and prepare your body for labor.
Most patients come weekly starting around week 34-35.
-
As you approach your due date, we shift focus to preparing your body for labor - supporting cervical ripening, reducing stress that can delay onset, and giving you something proactive to do while you wait.
Most patients increase to twice weekly in the final 2-3 weeks.
WHY CHOOSE US FOR PREGNANCY SUPPORT
YOU FEEL SEEN AND HEARD
We don't rush appointments. Patients say they feel actually listened to - not like just another appointment.
MORE THAN NEEDLES
Comprehensive treatment every time - acupuncture, cupping, moxa, whatever your body needs that day. We adapt, not follow a preset protocol.
WE'VE TREATED HUNDREDS OF PREGNANCIES
Early weeks to past-due, breech babies to labor prep. We know what's normal and what needs attention.
WE’RE INTO BEING REALLY SUPPORTIVE
We explain everything in real language and want you to feel fully heard and seen. If something doesn't make sense later, you can text or email. We're here to help you understand your body.
No matter where you are in your pregnancy, we'll meet you there.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…
It was the easiest labor ever!! I think I maybe pushed 5 times, no tearing or anything. Everyone should see you guys before they have a baby!
— alicia
I came during my first pregnancy when I had elevated blood pressure. They did an incredible job listening and responding to what I needed, helping me get to natural labor the day before my due date. They also helped with my second pregnancy - from getting pregnant to supporting me with nausea to keeping my blood pressure at bay. Highly recommend.

COMMON QUESTIONS
-
Anytime! We see people from trying to conceive through postpartum. Many start in first trimester for nausea or third trimester for birth prep, but the sooner the better.
-
Yes, when performed by licensed acupuncturists trained in prenatal care. We use specific pregnancy-safe points and techniques.
-
This depends on what you're dealing with and what works for your schedule. Some prefer weekly visits for consistent support throughout pregnancy, especially when managing symptoms or preparing for birth. Others do well with every other week.
-
We use specific techniques (including moxibustion) that can encourage babies to turn. We work with breech presentation using acupuncture and moxibustion (a warming technique on specific points). Read more about our approach to breech presentation →
-
Honestly? Some of our most regular pregnant patients started out needle-phobic. Pregnancy acupuncture uses incredibly thin needles (nothing like what you're picturing), and we go extra gentle. Most people are shocked by how little they feel. Plus, when you're dealing with pregnancy discomfort, a tiny needle that helps is worth it.
