Acupuncture in Ealing for pregnancy and beyond
Acupuncture for pregnancy & birth is a safe and effective treatment that can relieve many of the symptoms that arrive during all stages of pregnancy, including the first trimester. Treatment often brings relief, when other options are not possible or haven’t been successful.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, acupuncture can be a gentle, natural, and drug-free way to help. It's a supportive option that might bring relief and comfort during this time.

Birth Preparation
Acupuncture during the final weeks of pregnancy can be a supportive way to help prepare your body and mind for labour. Research has shown that receiving treatment during this time may help reduce the length of labour and ease discomfort during the birth. Acupuncture may also benefit you if you are overdue and seeking to encourage a more natural onset of labour.
“I came to Caroline to prepare for my 4th labour after 3 previous long and painful deliveries. After weekly acupuncture and an induction treatment at 40 weeks I finally had the labour I had always hoped for. Caroline’s treatment also addressed the low mood and anxiety I was experiencing during this pregnancy and helped me to regain my sense of self and resilience. I’m so grateful for the support she provided throughout a challenging time. Thank you!”
