All our treatments and services are tailored for each individual woman and pregnancy, including your unique wishes and circumstances.
We believe women can benefit from supportive care throughout each stage of pregnancy.
Each stage of pregnancy and some of the symptoms associated with it, either physical or emotional, are a natural result of changes in the female body during both pre and postnatal periods.
However when imbalances occur women can experience excessive symptoms or discomfort.
About the Eastern Approach in Pregnancy
Eastern medical philosophy of the female body during pregnancy is understood in a comprehensive and holistic way. This way of supporting women during pregnancy has been used and documented for over 2000 years!
Changes during this time can be compared and understood within the greater environmental cycles like Lunar cycles (moon phases) and Earth cycle (seasons) principles utilising the concepts of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang will undergo no more extreme changes in the body than during pregnancy. Therefore pregnancy is seen as a natural phenomenon, not a medical one. This model of care focuses on you and your baby and your individual internal and external factors that might be contributing to the generation of these symptoms.
Our service is here to understand and support this process for each individual woman and pregnancy.
At Australian Centre for Natural Medicine our acupuncture practitioners use Japanese style acupuncture. These gentle and relaxing treatment techniques are a functional means of positively influencing the body system. We aim to provide relaxation and comfort to our clients with pregnancy beds and positioning that allows even full term women to deeply enjoy their acupuncture treatments.
Treatments can be stand alone or our complete pregnancy care program. Treatments are also easily tailored to by synergistic with other resources women may be utilising to support their pregnancy such as medical treatments, midwife or doula, pregnancy yoga, birth plans and calmbirth/hypnobirthing etc.
If you are interested in receiving treatment or want to know more please feel free to contact Australian Centre for Natural Medicine on 07 55755300 during office hours, book online or email us an enquiry.
We look forward to being of service.
