Back to School


Learn from Sarah the Doula
what is helpful in labor--and what may hinder it. From what to eat, drink, how to breathe, how to meditate, and how to move, this class goes beyond the traditional hospital-based childbirth education class. Connect with your partner and discover ways to support one another on this journey.  "It feels like a great date night" many have said.

Acupuncture & Your Pregnancy

Amber KayBlooma is lucky to have Jalashree as our acupuncturist.  This month she shares with you the benefits of acupuncture throughout your pregnancy:

Pregnancy is a time of wonder and change, mystery and challenge, joy and fulfillment.  It is a precious time in which the care and support we grant ourselves - physically, emotionally and spiritually - is especially important, not only for ourselves but also for the growing baby.  Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can help in the promotion of optimum health in a gentle, safe, and supportive manner. 

Acupuncture can be of tremendous benefit over the entire course of a pregnancy.  For a healthy pregnancy, treatment is typically recommended on a monthly basis.  In the later stages of pregnancy (37 weeks through delivery) weekly treatments will best help prepare mother and child for labor and delivery.  Research has shown that pre-birth acupuncture prepares the body for natural labor, reduces the duration of labor, and reduces the chances of a medical intervention during delivery.  Your practitioner will, however, always tailor your treatment according to your needs, issues, and concerns.

Acupuncture and TCM provide a nurturing, mother-centered, safe and gentle means to promote optimum health before, during, and after pregnancy, both for mother and child, and can form the foundation of a life long partnership in health for the whole family.
