At Shift Natural Medicine, our treatments for pre – conception and pregnancy involve a holistic, effective and gentle approach. We love working with clients for 3-6 months before conception, but commencing pre-conception care at any time closer is beneficial.
We provide an integrative approach, and are happy to work closely in conjunction with other health care providers you may be seeing. We have a great team of external women’s health chiropractors, physiotherapists and Pilates instructors that we refer to and work alongside to give you the best level of care.
Many of our practitioners are also mums who have first hand experience with navigating pregnancy!
ACUPUNCTURE
Our acupuncturists specialise in pregnancy and love treating our mums-to-be. Acupuncture is commonly used to prepare the body for pregnancy; we aim to correct any imbalances that may be affecting fertility with treatments specifically designed around the female cycle.
It is very beneficial during pregnancy especially during the often challenging and nerve-racking first trimester. Treatment may continue throughout pregnancy for assistance with any health concerns and keeping the body calm and balanced, and induction treatments are recommended from 36 weeks gestation. Keeping our soon-to-be-mums feeling relaxed and nurtured during this amazing time is our number one priority.
NATUROPATHY
Our naturopaths identify and address key underlying issues during the pre- conception period, whilst also providing symptom management throughout pregnancy and beyond so that the client can experience the best health outcomes for themselves and their babies.
