Induction

Medical procedures used to stimulate labor during the end of pregnancy can become necessary for a variety of reasons. Before a medical induction is performed, there are a number of gentle and alternative options that can be explored when trying to initiate labor.

I love helping women have healthy, happy pregnancies and smooth, uncomplicated deliveries.  And let's not forget the post-partum period- just as important as any other phase of pregnancy.  Acupuncture is a wonderful aid to healthy nursing, too.
