The goal of pre-birth acupuncture is to ripen the cervix, reduce labor time and medical interventions- including cesarean section rates- and to support blood flow and nutrient delivery throughout the body and to the baby.

It is also a wonderful way to nurture a mother by providing her with some quiet time in a calm and relaxed environment in preparation for the birth supports her transition into labor.

We typically see mothers 1 to 2 times a week starting at around week 36. This allows for optimal effect of the treatments. Like with most therapies, a series of treatments is often most beneficial.
