Pregnancy Care & Chinese Medicine
Pregnancy is a profound transformation.
Traditionally, this period is seen not only as a time to support healthy development for baby, but also as an opportunity to heal past imbalances in mom. At the same time, if the body is depleted or care is overlooked, it’s also a vulnerable time when new health concerns can arise.
Thoughtful support during pregnancy lays the foundation for long-term wellness.
Chinese medicine has a deep and comprehensive approach to pregnancy care. Our classical texts describe in detail the complex changes that occur during this time—and how to support them with skill, care, and intention. From the earliest stages of pregnancy through recovery after birth, Chinese medicine offers safe, effective, and drug-free support.
Chinese medicine is rooted in life-nourishing practices. Offering you and your growing baby comfort, resilience, and deep care during this transformative time.
