I work with and support women throughout all stages of their life. I have a special interest in women’s health and have completed extensive training during my studies, as well as my annual continuing professional development in areas of women’s health.

I pride myself on working with my clients towards their own health needs and health goals.

At our first consultation together, we will discuss what you are hoping to work towards during our time together- for example, this may be improving sleep quality or reducing the severity of a particular symptom such as nausea and vomiting or pelvic pain.

Acupuncture is a safe modality of care that can be used throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Acupuncture treatment may be able to help pregnant women with pregnancy related musculoskeletal pains, as well as nausea and vomiting.

Acupuncture can be used on its own, or in conjunction with other forms of care (such as standard midwifery or obstetric care, or other allied health modalities including physiotherapy, chiropractic care or osteopathy) to support you in your pregnancy and postpartum journey.

It is best to discuss your individual circumstances with me to establish whether incorporating acupuncture into your pregnancy and postpartum care is right for you. Prior to your first appointment, we will have a quick telephone chat to answer any questions and concerns you may have.

Great question! Although Chinese Medicine and midwifery care are quite different, there are also similarities of how the two types of care can work together.

Both Chinese Medicine and midwifery care centre the client (the woman) at the centre of the care, and consider all aspects of care; the physical, emotional, and social aspects that may impact your antenatal, labour, birth, and postpartum care journey.

It is well documented that continuity of care improves outcomes for women and their babies, but also increases maternal satisfaction of their experience. Unfortunately, not every woman is able to access continuity of carer through their own midwife. I like to think that this is where my experience as a midwife, and the care I can provide as a Chinese Medicine Practitioner work together. I consider all parts of you and work with you during your pregnancy and postpartum experience.

I am also privileged to be able to provide ongoing care to women after six weeks postpartum, as many of my clients choose to continue their Chinese Medicine care and support throughout their first year postpartum and beyond. Understanding you and your own unique circumstances is why I find the care and support I provide so beneficial.
