    Acupuncture Home Visits

    Yoga Mamas offers Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture. TCM Acupuncture is a relaxing and healing treatment used to treat a variety of ailments and conditions. We offer acupuncture to support all journeys in life;
    • Fertility acupuncture
    • Pregnancy acupuncture
    • Postpartum acupuncture
    • Perimenopause acupuncture
    • ​and acupuncture for everyday issues including stress, insomnia, anxiety and more
    ​​Our experienced Registered Acupuncturists use extremely fine needles in specific points on the body. This balances the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture can restore and rebalance energy flow. Acupuncture is a safe, effective, and drug free option for health and wellness.
