Pregnancy usually lasts for 40 weeks, which are divided into three trimesters, each lasting 12 to 13 weeks.

Common symptoms:

• Nausea and morning sickness
• Heartburn
• Yeast infections like thrush or candida
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Illnesses like cold or flu
• Backache
• Skin conditions
• Sleeplessness
• Anxiety and depression
• Gestational diabetes

From back pain to easing morning nausea, our practitioners are here to make your pregnancy as comfortable as possible. 

Our naturopaths can recommend the right supplements to ensure you and your growing baby have all the nutrients needed to flourish. We know that sometimes medication is necessary. We work in conjunction with your treatment, minimising side-effects and strengthening your body and immunity.

When preparing your birth plan, you may want to consider natural therapy alongside traditional medical routes.

Homeopathy, acupuncture and osteopathy can ease pain during labour. Including natural therapies can give you confidence in your choices and prepare you mentally for childbirth.

As you recover from the birth and adapt to being a new parent, physiological, hormonal and psychological changes are happening. 

Homeopathy can help with bruising after labour. Herbal medicine, acupuncture and osteopathy can support emotional and physical recovery. 

Osteopathy and bodywork relieve pain, increase mobility and reduce scar tissue. Gentle manual techniques for newborns can relieve retained birth stress and support physical and emotional development.

Postnatal depression affects women in different ways. It’s common to feel tearful or anxious in the first few weeks after giving birth, but if your low mood persists and affects sleep, appetite or bonding with your baby, you may have postnatal depression. Counselling, psychotherapy, supplements and homeopathy can give you much-needed support.

Paternal postpartum depression is estimated to affect as many as one in ten men. Becoming a parent can be a difficult time for men too - we’re here to provide support for you too. 

Our practitioners offer support, advice and specific treatments throughout all stages of pregnancy and beyond.

Naturopathy is a natural way to address nutritional needs for you and your growing baby. Our naturopaths are skilled in treating colds and flu, sleeplessness, skin flare-ups, digestive upsets, hormonal changes, excessive weight gain and birthing recovery.

TCM & acupuncture supports women’s health during pregnancy and after childbirth, from morning sickness, fatigue, back and muscle pain, stress, labour preparation, to postnatal care.

Homeopathy is a gentle way of treating physical and emotional difficulties during pregnancy, like nausea, anxiety, sleeplessness and problems experienced by newborns.

Osteopathy is a hands-on therapy that helps release tensions in the uterus, pelvis and lumbar spine to prepare for an optimal pregnancy and delivery. Osteopaths help you and your baby grow and adapt with each other. Post-birth, our osteopaths can help you re-adjust and recover.

With the huge hormonal changes and imminent transitions in your life, it is natural to experience mood changes. If you are anxious about the birth, or the changes pregnancy has brought to your life, talking with a counsellor or psychotherapist can help.
