Through acupuncture I offer effective treatments to support mother and baby from conception, throughout pregnancy, to birth.

Acupuncture can ease a woman through the many physical and emotional changes that occur during each trimester of her pregnancy and help to ensure a comfortable and healthy pregnancy.

I combine gentle needling technique with moxibustion - a method of applying heat to particular parts of the body. It can be especially useful for turning a breech baby. The moxibustion gently encourages the baby to turn in the right direction.

I am a member of the Zita West national network of affiliated acupuncturists, and a member of Acupuncture for Fertility & Pregnancy Ireland (AFPI).

If you're interested in treatments during your pregnancy, contact me to discuss how I can help.
