Acupuncture for Postpartum
Postpartum Recovery: Natural Pain Relief with Acupuncture
The 4th Trimester is a lovely, delicate, and trying time for a new mother. Baby learns how to live and thrive outside the safety of the womb, and mom tries to figure out how to care for baby and herself. Life takes on a whole new perspective.
We see images of instant love-at-first-sight when we watch television shows and movies featuring birth. Mom stares into baby’s face and cries, then swells with a love she never knew was possible. For some of you that’s how it will happen or how it did happen. The postpartum period is different for every woman; every experience is unique. While some experience the postpartum symptoms promoting more bonding between mother and child, others experience difficulties such as postpartum depression, or anxiety.

Acupuncture
This modality can help ease your tight muscles and regulate your hormones, but it can also help you reconcile any traumas you might have experienced and any grief you might feel. It can help boost your energy so that you can deal with all you have to do. Acupuncture can also be used to help boost milk production, and ease the flow of milk so that you are less prone to clogged ducts and mastitis.
Herbal medicine Use and Safety During the Postpartum Period
Custom prescribed Chinese herbs, when prescribed by a certified herbalist are incredibly safe, and they are helpful for increasing milk supply, treating postpartum mood disorders, and easing menstrual issues. The herbs that I prescribe for patients are based on formulas that have been safely used for thousands of years in breastfeeding moms. It is my promise that I only prescribe herbs that are proven safe for new moms, and that I will never prescribe anything to a nursing mother that I would not have taken myself while I was breastfeeding. Herbal medicine is often used in conjunction with acupuncture for a more complete system of medicine.
Nutrition
Eating the right foods is key for the health of both you and your baby, and I can help you find healthy, easy foods to keep your energy up while you are overwhelmed or exhausted. Nutrition can also be useful in improving milk supply, and can often be a key component of dealing with a baby who has colic.

Testimonials
I have known Erin for a few years now and, if I think about someone or a service I want to review, her name comes to mind. Everyone should know how talented she is. She is gentle, intuitive, knowledgeable, a treasure of information, present, patient, etc, etc. I could go on but will stop and say two things:
If you are looking for a great acupuncturist and more – please have one session with her.
And two: I researched acupuncturists and seen a lot of them before Erin. I’m glad I chose her. I now have a 2 year old (at 43) when not many were giving me hope… I continue to see Erin because it pays back in so many ways.
Thank you Erin!
When searching for alternatives to pills, I found Erin. She has treated me for several different complaints but has focused on dizziness, hot flashes and headaches. I have suffered sine my teenage years with dizziness and thought that I would just have to live with it. But that is not true. I was encouraged to try acupuncture and found Erin. I see her regularly for treatment and as a result of her commitment to finding a resolution to my health issues, I have had great results. My dizziness is under control, I seldom have a hot flash and the headaches have all but disappeared! I highly recommend Erin to anyone searching for a health professional who is dedicated to finding the best treatment and encouraging her patients to follow an at-home plan to make sure that the issues are kept at-bay. And, they work! I would trade many of my care providers in for another one but not my acupuncturist!
