Create Ease and Grace
At Sacred Fortune we offer support in a loving and safe space throughout your entire pregnancy and postpartum period. We are committed to providing exceptional services for your ever-evolving health needs, offering you time to rest and connect with your baby during this sacred time.
Acupuncture is a wonderfully time-tested tool to help prepare you physically and emotionally for labor, and the birth of your baby. Each session is a team effort, as we work together to balance your nervous system and address any concerns that may arise - helping set the stage for a more relaxed and joyful pregnancy and postpartum experience.
The Trimesters
First trimester treatments support the new changes happening in your body. Areas of focus may include easing nausea, headaches and fatigue.
During your second trimester, treatments shift to supporting healthy patterns of sleep, digestion and stress-response - allowing you to feel more comfort and ease in your body as your baby grows.
Third trimester treatments are centered around providing you with nourishment and support as you carry your baby to term. Treatments focus on easing discomfort and maintaining a peaceful state of mind, as you prepare for labor and the arrival of your newborn.
Fourth trimester treatments provide mind-body support and time to process your birth and the new experience of parenthood. Treatments are designed to rejuvenate and replenish your energy stores, address hormonal changes, milk production, muscle tonicity, post labor healing, irregular sleep cycles, depression, anxiety, and fatigue- allowing you to fully bond with and enjoy your newborn.
scientific support for Acupuncture
Research shows that pre-birth Acupuncture treatments may shorten labor duration and significantly reduce medical induction and C-section rates. Weekly Acupuncture treatments, starting at week 34 of your pregnancy help prepare your body for birth by balancing your nervous system, easing anxiety, regulating hormones, increasing blood flow to the pelvis and promoting cervical ripening.
Postpartum treatments have been found to significantly reduce postpartum depression and anxiety and are most beneficial beginning within the first few weeks after delivery.
