Pregnancy Acupuncture in Richmond

Pregnancy is an exciting journey, but it can also bring unexpected physical and emotional challenges. As your body changes, you may experience symptoms that affect your comfort, sleep and overall wellbeing.

At Serene AcuHealing, I offer personalised, evidence-informed acupuncture throughout pregnancy.  As a Registered Nurse with over 20 years of NHS experience and specialist expertise in women's and pelvic health, I provide care in a calm, supportive environment in Richmond. 

Whether you're in your first trimester or preparing for birth, acupuncture may help you feel more comfortable and supported during your pregnancy.

Many women choose acupuncture to help manage common pregnancy symptoms, including:

• Morning sickness and nausea 
• Fatigue 
• Back pain and pelvic girdle pain 
• Sciatica 
• Neck and shoulder tension 
• Headaches 
• Heartburn 
• Stress and anxiety 
• Poor sleep 
• Carpal tunnel syndrome 

Every pregnancy is unique, so your treatment will always be tailored to your individual needs.

Acupuncture can be appropriate during pregnancy when carried out by a suitably trained and qualified practitioner following an appropriate assessment.

As an experienced NHS Registered Nurse and AACP-registered medical acupuncturist, I take your pregnancy, medical history, symptoms and any treatment you are receiving into account before deciding whether acupuncture is appropriate.

Treatment is adapted according to your stage of pregnancy and individual circumstances. If there are any concerns about your symptoms or pregnancy, I may recommend that you discuss these with your midwife, GP or maternity team.

I'd be happy to answer any questions before you book. Get in touch for a friendly, no-obligation chat.

My aim is not simply to treat symptoms, but to help you feel relaxed, supported and confident throughout your pregnancy.

Your first appointment lasts approximately 60–90 minutes and includes time for a thorough consultation before treatment. 

We'll discuss:

• Your pregnancy 
• Medical history 
• Current symptoms 
• Your goals for treatment 

Your acupuncture session will then be tailored specifically to you. 

Many people find acupuncture relaxing, and some become so comfortable during treatment that they may even drift off to sleep. 

Acupuncture may be used at different stages of pregnancy depending on your symptoms and individual circumstances. Some women seek support during the first trimester for nausea, while others attend later in pregnancy for pelvic or back pain, relaxation or birth preparation. Your treatment will be tailored to your stage of pregnancy and needs. 

Yes. Pregnancy acupuncture is considered safe when carried out by a suitably trained practitioner. As an experienced NHS Registered Nurse and AACP Registered Medical Acupuncturist, I use pregnancy-safe techniques appropriate for each stage of pregnancy.

Acupuncture may be considered as supportive care for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Your symptoms and medical history will be discussed before treatment to ensure acupuncture is appropriate for you. 

The number of treatments depends on your symptoms and stage of pregnancy. This will be discussed during your initial consultation, and a personalised treatment plan will be created.

If you're looking for nurse-led pregnancy acupuncture in Richmond, I'd be delighted to support you. 

Whether you're struggling with nausea, pelvic pain, poor sleep or simply want to feel your best throughout pregnancy, treatment is tailored to your individual needs.
