Acupuncture for pregnancy & birth  London & across the UK

Acupuncture for pregnancy and birth is a completely safe and natural treatment that can be used from those first often terrifying 12 weeks, right the way through to birth preparation.

Acupuncture for pregnancy & birth is a safe and nurturing treatment. We love supporting people during their pregnancy and find that treatments offer relief, when all other options are not possible or haven’t been successful.

We understand that pregnancy can be difficult, especially if you have been through fertility treatment, miscarriage and infertility struggles before getting to this point. 

Many people who came to us for fertility support, move to pregnancy support once they have conceived and it’s one of the most rewarding parts of this work. We know that being pregnant after loss and/or a difficult road to conception isn’t the end of the journey and that it can be both stressful and cause a lot of anxiety. People find that continuity of support and care with us can help alleviate some of these issues, especially during the first 12 weeks.

For birth preparation we find weekly treatment from 36 weeks can support a natural labour and is an excellent way to avoid going overdue.

We also see many people with breech babies and use a combination of moxibustion and acupuncture to help with turning them.

Acupuncture for pregnancy can help you if….

  • you are suffering with nausea & morning sickness and finding no relief
  • you are experiencing anxiety, stress especially after a complex fertility journey, pregnancy or baby loss
  • you have headaches or migraines and want a safe, drug-free option during pregnancy
  • you have digestive problems like heartburn, indigestion or haemorrhoids
  • you are struggling with poor sleep or insomnia
  • you have pelvic pain, back pain or discomfort
  • you want to prepare for labour – studies show that acupuncture in the run up can help reduce length and discomfort in birth
  • you are overdue and want to encourage labour more naturally
  • your baby is breech
  • you are pregnant after fertility treatment, IVF or loss and want continuity of specialist care throughout
Many of our clients come to us first for fertility support and continue through into pregnancy — benefiting from the same specialist team and the continuity of care that can be so valuable when navigating a pregnancy after loss or treatment.

Others come to us specifically for pregnancy acupuncture, often from the first trimester when symptoms are at their most intense. Many also find that combining acupuncture with reflexology during pregnancy offers additional benefit, particularly for birth preparation and breech positioning.

We offer pregnancy acupuncture and acupuncture for birth across our four London clinics in Streatham, Balham, Belgravia and Bethnal Green and through our UK-wide network of practitioners.

” Hannah provided continuity that I didn’t have in the NHS. Although my NHS treatment was excellent Hannah was the one professional who knew me from the beginning of my fertility journey right up to the birth of my son. She saw me through months of tests, months of IVF treatment and then throughout my pregnancy. I was actually due to see her the day my son was born! “

We have four fertility acupuncture clinics across London in Streatham, Balham, Belgravia and Bethnal Green and a UK-wide network of practitioners.
