Pregnancy can be a wonderful time to pamper yourself and a vitally important time to look after yourself well. Pregnancy Massage is the perfect way to begin this process with a fully qualified Pregnancy Massage Therapist: Julia Simmons specializes in Pregnancy Massage and can treat you lying on your side or on a specially made Bump Bag which enables you to lie on your tummy. For more information about this please click on Julia and contact her directly.

Acupuncture is also very helpful in pregnancy for treating conditions such as morning sickness, constipation, heartburn, nausea, back pain, pubic symphisis pain and dizziness.

Closer to the birth Acupuncture can be very helpful in turning breech babies, easing lower back pain, induction (only if overdue and chemical induction date set), and easing the birthing process itself. Nicola Renovich Haven Acupuncturist; has considerable experience in treating these conditions and has undertaken specialist post graduate obstetric acupuncture training.

Pre birth Acupuncture Treatments from 36 weeks can greatly reduce the likelihood of going overdue and needing induction. Pre-birth treatments have also been shown to increase the likelihood of a smooth birth without complications.

After the birth you may wish to benefit from the support of our Post Natal Doula; Liz Carter.
