Post-Partum and Well-Baby Care

Traditionally, in Asian cultures, after a woman gives birth, she spends six to ten weeks receiving on-going restorative care to help regain her physical and mental strength. Naturally her "Ki" (energy), has been temporarily depleted after giving birth. Recovery time is different for each woman, however, if her Ki (energy) remains sluggish or stagnant too long then symptoms will often begin to arise, such as, headaches, low back or "unexplained" body pain, digestive issues, irregular periods and more.

In our western medical system we unfortunately don't offer this type of restorative health care to our new mothers, resulting sometimes in unpleasant systems that may become chronic. Working out a schedule of Natural Life Therapy care post delivery will help a mother recover with more ease and help her face some of the wonderful new challenges ahead for her and her family. Balancing the pulses through Meridian Therapy, utilizing acupuncture, energetic bodywork, diet, herbs, and supplements if needed, we often find women feeling much better within two or three treatments.

As some of you know, many families have employed Natural Life Therapy Clinic in addressing infertility and pre-natal issues with much satisfaction. Post natal care and pediatrics are also specialties of our clinic. What many don't know is that we provide well-baby care for the first year of life free of charge. A specialist of Shonishin (needleless acupuncture), a gentle non-invasive system of pediatric health care, we seek to help the new born grow strong with a healthy immune system and properly functioning digestive system. Treatment can lend support as the baby strengthens and thrives in those first twelve months.

We know you may have good medical care. We want you to have great Health Care!
