Postpartum recovery

You have recently given birth to a new bundle of joy!

Congratulations! What an exciting journey ahead of you.

What is postpartum?

A female body experiences many changes from conception to the cradle and ancient medicine places much focus on recovery following the birth of your little one.

The postpartum period relates to the time immediately after giving birth. Whilst it is a time of celebration, pregnancy takes its toll on the female anatomy, physically, emotionally and hormonal too.

In an ideal world it would be great to be looked after and supported by family members following our birthing experience, all too often women are required to go back to work before they are ready and before their body has time to recover, often feeling exhausted and running on empty.

“This morning I went for my first session of acuouncture. I’m 38 weeks pregnant and I have suffered from SPD. Gaynor made me feel very welcome, she made sure that I was comfortable and relaxed. It was such a brilliant experience and I’ve come away feeling amazing. I will definitely be going back, and I would highly recommend visiting Gaynor as there are so many benefits from having fertility acupuncture.”

“After a very long emotional road baby Olivia is finally with us… thank you to your treatment & advice before conception & during pregnancy. Without it I’m not sure we would be where we are. Furthermore it has kept me relaxed & grounded. I shall continue treatments in the future too.
Thank you so much Gaynor!”
