NAP time for New Mom

Starting July 5th every Tuesday from 1:30-3:30 there will be a special clinic for new mothers. Many people know the benefit of acupuncture for conception and to manage the ailments of pregnancy from morning sickness to heartburn and even inducing labor.

Acupuncture has been shown to:

* boost lactation
* calm anxiety
* assist postpartum depression
* relieve fatigue
* balance hormones
* improve quality of sleep

After giving birth is just as important a time to receive acupuncture to help reset your body's natural rhythms. In Europe this is known as mother warming and the intention is to nourish and replenish a new mother's body after pregnancy and labor.
Many new mom's don't want to spend a minute away from their little one, feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and sometimes isolated. "NAP Time For New Moms" is a way for you to receive treatment without having to worry about committing to a set appointment time or leaving your baby. Your baby can snuggle in your arms or in a carrier. Treatments last as long as you need them to and the same sliding scale applies, $40-15. Babies have a way of setting their own schedule, like needing a diaper change right when you are ready to walk out the door. This is why walk-ins are encouraged during NAP time for New Moms. Patients will be treated on a first come first serve basis starting at 1:30 with last appointment at 3:30.

** last appointment time will last a max of 45 minutes

Of course if you are a new mom in need of affordable acupuncture and Tuesdays from 1:30-3:30 don't work for your schedule you are welcome to schedule an appointment during regular business hours as well. The intention of NAP time for New Moms is to create a healthy community of new mothers as support for each other even if all that means is sharing a space of healing.

Feel free to enjoy a cup of tea before or after your treatment.
