Prenatal massage and acupuncture with Kim, a registered massage therapist and acupuncturist, adapted to each trimester.
As your baby grows, your centre of gravity shifts and your posture changes. The hormone relaxin softens your ligaments to prepare for birth, which can make the pelvis and lower back less stable.
Massage and acupuncture are commonly used during pregnancy when they are performed by a trained practitioner. Kim adapts every treatment to your stage of pregnancy, uses side-lying positions with pillows, and avoids points and techniques that are not suitable in pregnancy.
"A calm mother, a calm pregnancy."
In Chinese medicine, pregnancy asks a lot of the body's Blood and Qi. Prenatal care focuses on nourishing and calming, rather than strong treatment.
Kim combines what she knows as a registered massage therapist with Chinese medicine, to relieve discomfort and help you rest.
Side-lying massage for the back, hips, neck and legs, by a registered massage therapist.

Book as often as you need: regular sessions through your pregnancy, or when discomfort appears.
