INITIAL CONSULTATION & TREATMENT
Your first visit is typically an hour and a half, this will include an in-depth assessment and initial treatment.
From the information gathered, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment plan will be developed for you. Many commonly used points are located on the arms and legs so please wear loose comfortable clothing. Delicate needles are lightly inserted and remain in place for about 20 minutes while you rest with quiet, soothing music playing in the background. Many people fall asleep while they are being treated and are left with a calm relaxed feeling.

​BREECH POSITION PROTOCOL
Most babies turn to a head down position between week 28 and 32. If your baby hasn't turned, Traditional Chinese Medicine has a reliable and non-invasive approach. Moxibustion is a chinese herb that is burned over an acupuncture point to encourage your baby to turn. During this appointment our acupuncturist will instruct you on how to perform this take home treatment.
