My own journey through childbirth, first via cesarean and then naturally, has been a transformative experience that has deeply influenced my approach to healthcare. The initial cesarean birth, which I believe was unnecessary, sparked within me a mission to dedicate a significant portion of my practice to supporting pregnant women with various health concerns.
Through these experiences, I've gained profound insights into the complexities of the birthing process and have come to cherish a woman's innate ability to nurture her pregnancy and deliver her baby. I view pregnancy and childbirth not just as biological events but as sacred rites of passage integral to a woman's evolution into motherhood. I firmly believe that healthy pregnancy and natural birth have a profound and lifelong impact on a woman's self-esteem, health, nurturing capabilities, and personal growth.
Pregnancy, Birth, Postpartum:
Drawing from the principles of Oriental medicine, I offer safe, gentle, and effective treatments for women during pregnancy and childbirth. Acupuncture, a cornerstone of my approach, provides relief from various pregnancy-related discomforts such as nausea, heartburn, headaches, and backache. It can also aid in labor induction, pain management during labor, and even help with the expulsion of the placenta.
As a birth doula, I provide comprehensive support to expecting mothers, offering private childbirth preparation classes, relaxation techniques, and trauma healing treatments. Additionally, I specialize in placenta preparation, postpartum holistic weight loss programs, and Tui Na massage to promote physical and emotional well-being during the postpartum period.
Auricular Therapy and Moxibustion:
I utilize auricular therapy and moxibustion as non-invasive methods for pain relief during labor and breech presentation correction. These techniques harness the body's natural healing abilities without the need for pharmaceutical interventions, promoting a smoother and more empowering birthing experience.
Massage and Herbal Medicine:
Massage therapy, including techniques like Tui Na and Shiatsu, offers pregnant women relief from physical discomforts and emotional stress. Herbal medicine further complements these treatments, providing support for various gynecological issues, boosting vitality during labor, and aiding postpartum recovery.
In essence, my approach in treating expectant mothers is rooted in a deep understanding of the body's natural processes and a profound respect for the transformative journey of pregnancy and childbirth. I am dedicated to empowering women to embrace this journey with confidence, strength, and vitality.
