Pregnancy & Acupuncture
Getting pregnant for many women is not as easy as you would expect. 
For some it is because monthly cycles are not regular, stress and healthy grown of the womb lining. Before getting on the road to IVF it maybe worth speaking with an acupuncturist who can help the body become more receptive to conception.
During pregnancy acupuncture can help with a range of problems
- Morning Sickness
- High/low blood pressure
- Tiredness /anxiety
- Backache
- Pelvic pain (symphysis pubis dysfunction)
Also if your baby is presenting BREACH then acupuncture can help to turn the baby.
After the birth acupuncture can help with anxiety, Post-natal depression and energy levels
Call today and ask to speak with Jennifer about fertility and pregnancy

SAD -Seasonal Affective Disorder in Children
Until I came into this field of work I had never heard of SAD. Then I started to treat clients all year round and there certainly was a difference when the clock changed at the end of October. Often the sufferer just wants to literally hibernate until the end of the dark months and their personality takes a complete U turn, they feel depressed and miserable.
Children can suffer too. Very hard in today's society when children do spend so much more time on computers indoors. But if they no longer want to go out meet friends and their personality changes then you may have over looked SAD.
There is much written on Vitamin D3 which maybe of help as well as light boxes.

I have just completed a Kinesio taping course also known as K Tape you may have seen athletes on television with bright coloured tape on. Its a flexible but supportive tape that moves and works with the body to relieve pain and swelling.
