Our practitioners can offer support to you and your partner from pre-conception and pregnancy, through to birth and beyond.
All our practitioners offer services that are safe and gentle enough to be used throughout your pregnancy; pregnancy massage and acupuncture, holistic nutrition, and craniosacral therapy. We are also home to Body, Birth and Baby ~ a private midwifery service offering antenatal shared care for women planning to birth in hospital but wanting a more personalised approach to their pregnancy care.
Nadia has experience using acupuncture to support couples in the pre-conception period, supporting women alongside their IVF treatment, addressing symptoms in pregnancy, preparing for childbirth, as well as pain relief and support during labour. She has a particular interest in treating women during pregnancy; helping symptoms to resolve and watching vitality being restored.
Nadia has worked with women at all stages of their journey to parenthood. From the pre-conception stage where qi (energy) and xue (blood) need to be abundant and the menstrual cycle regular. Through pregnancy with all its aches and pains, nausea and other complaints. Whilst preparing for birth and during labour itself. If you are not sure if acupuncture is the right approach for your specific condition, please give us a call to discuss your symptoms.
Nadia understands how important it is to listen to and work with women and their families, and that everyone’s experience is different. She is committed to respecting the individual choices and the values of each family and works with you to design a treatment approach that meets your needs. Nadia is available to provide treatment using acupuncture and massage during your labour and birth. She also offers home visits to women close to their due date or in the weeks after birth.
