Prenatal Acupuncture
Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, and Functional Nutrition During Pregnancy
Acupuncture and herbal medicine offer safe treatment options during pregnancy. I am passionate about offering high-quality health care, and approachable support for pregnant women in the Portland area.
The therapies recommended all fall within strict safety standards, for mother and baby, whether mom is pregnant, nursing, or beyond.
The following is a list of prenatal issues that I commonly treat in downtown Portland:
- Morning Sickness
- Early Threatened Miscarriage
- Insomnia
- Anxiety/Overwhelm
- Depression
- Carpal Tunnel
- Migraines/Headache
- Heartburn
- Constipation
- Swelling
- Fatigue
- Hip and Back Pain
Solstice Natural Health Prenatal Acupuncture in Portland, Oregon
Herbal medicine is carefully administered only if necessary, and more commonly it is dietary therapy that is recommended instead. Each treatment is tailored to your needs at each session. I never recommend any therapy that I would not use during my own pregnancies.
Relieve Prenatal Discomfort, Naturally
Nurture your body and baby with gentle prenatal acupuncture designed to ease discomfort, promote relaxation, and support a healthy pregnancy.
Getting regular acupuncture during pregnancy can also help prevent or treat possible complications* such as:
- Gestational Diabetes
- Placenta Previa
- Preeclampsia
- Pre-Term Labor
- Hypertension
- Stalled Labor
- Breech Presentation
*Most of these conditions require strict monitoring by your primary care provider, and we work closely to ensure safety.
Women’s bodies are stressed by even the healthiest pregnancies, and often that stress is not only physical, but also mental and emotional. As a result, the body carries imbalances from pregnancy long after baby joins the world. Compounding this is other factors such as nursing, returning to work, sleeplessness, and changes in the family dynamic. I honor all of these issues as a part of the tapestry of motherhood. You are encouraged to talk about all issues, concerns, and fears you are facing.
Getting regular pre-natal acupuncture can help not only with physical and emotional maladies such as heartburn, hip pain, and anxiety, but can also help ease labor, and ease the transition into the post-natal time.

Testimonials
I just want to thank you for everything. Not just the treatments, but also your support through my crazy journey. I truly believe your treatments helped me get pregnant and I’m so grateful! I won’t ever forget the impact you made on my life.
I’m 19 weeks into my pregnancy and feeling great. I know much of that has to do with the care and support I continue to receive from Erin. I’m overwhelmingly grateful and can’t recommend Solstice Natural Health enough!
