POST NATAL DEPRESSION

The birth of a child can elicit a wide range of strong emotions, from joy and excitement to dread and anxiety. It can also result in something that you might not expect, and that’s depression. We are here for you at The Upminster Sanctuary to offer support to new parents and family members, by working closely with a qualified and experienced practitioner who is here to support you through your wellness journey.

PREGNANCY/FERTILITY ACUPUNCTURE

Pre-conception acupuncture for women is about facilitating the healthy development of eggs and optimising the uterine environment for embryo implantation. Research shows that acupuncture may benefit both female and male fertility by regulating hormones which are often disrupted by stress and other factors, and increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs.

For assisted-conception, acupuncture has been shown to increase success rates by 42.5% if combined with embryo transfer for women undergoing IVF. Acupuncture can also help to address the side effects of IVF and alleviate the emotional stress of fertility treatment.

Once pregnant, women can benefit from the support of acupuncture particularly if there is a history of difficult conception or miscarriage, or for pregnancy-related problems such as morning sickness. Towards the end of pregnancy many ladies seek acupuncture to prepare for labour or to avoid medical induction.

PREGNANCY/FERTILITY REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is the perfect treatment if you are trying for a baby. Reflexology can help relieve anxiety, rebalance your hormones and encourage ovulation. A reflexology course for mums during pregnancy is a beautiful experience, and can also help to reduce labour times.
