What Is the Perinatal Period?
The perinatal period refers to the time before, during, and after pregnancy—a phase that can bring both joy and challenge. At OSTEO+, we recognize how unique each person’s experience can be, and how supportive therapies can play a meaningful role during this time.
Acupuncture for the Prenatal Period
During pregnancy, your body goes through countless changes. Acupuncture, a modality rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a gentle and non-invasive approach that may help support the body during this transformative time.
Clients often seek Acupuncture for support with:
General wellness during pregnancy
Feelings of stress or anxiety
Occasional headaches or nausea
Difficulty falling or staying asleep
Supporting overall energy levels
Each session is tailored to the individual and their unique needs, with an emphasis on comfort, calm, and care.
Preparing for Labour – The Role of Moxibustion
As you approach the final weeks of pregnancy, Moxibustion—a traditional technique involving gentle heat from the herb mugwort—may be used to support the body’s natural rhythms and preparation for labour.
Some individuals may also seek this technique when their baby is in a breech position. While everyone's journey is different, moxibustion is considered by many to be a relaxing and nurturing therapy in the later stages of pregnancy.
Postpartum Recovery and Support
The postpartum phase can be as demanding as it is beautiful. At OSTEO+, Fanda works with new parents to offer a calm space for recovery and rebalancing. Postpartum Acupuncture sessions are often sought to support:
General recovery after childbirth
Emotional well-being
Energy levels and fatigue
Muscular tension from feeding and carrying baby
The sessions are always conducted with sensitivity, compassion, and a deep respect for where you are in your journey.
