The postpartum period, often called the fourth trimester, is a sacred and tender window of healing. In today’s fast-paced culture, this time is too often rushed, overlooked, or inaccessible. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is recognized as essential to long-term health and wellbeing. The weeks after birth are not only for physical recovery but also for regulating hormones, restoring emotional balance, and laying the foundation for future fertility, healthy menstrual cycles, and lifelong hormonal health, including the transition into perimenopause.

We often support postpartum patients with:
→ Pregnancy-related hypertension

→ Emotional and physical healing after miscarriage
→ Miscarriage prevention
→ Natural labor induction
→ Preparation for a smooth labor and delivery
→ Hemorrhoids
→ Nausea and vomiting
→ Constipation
→ Fatigue
→ Heartburn and indigestion
→ Musculoskeletal pain (back, hips, pelvis, pubic symphysis, sciatic, etc.)
→ Anxiety and depression
→ Insomnia and restless sleep
→ Urinary tract infections and yeast infections
At Mother Moon, we understand how challenging it can be to access care during this time, which is why we offer in-home treatments for established patients in the early weeks. When you feel ready to leave home and step away from your baby, we will welcome you back into the clinic for quiet, uninterrupted care, time that is just for you.
