Pre-birthing Acupuncture
Pre-birthing acupuncture has been used for millennia. Over the last few decades, it has been refined to give the best possible results. Treatments usually run over 4 weeks from week 36-40 and will assist you and your baby to prepare for a natural birthing process. The treatments will be individually tailored to cater to your specific needs so that you are in the best possible condition mentally and physically for this wonderful journey. Dave now offers Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and / or hypnotherapy to help with any emotional issues or fears surrounding the birthing process.
