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.

"I was struggling with physical pain from the incision as well as postpartum depression and anxiety. I had never had acupuncture before so I was not sure what to expect, but I was so impressed with how quickly my pain was managed and how much calmer and more grounded I felt after every session. It was incredible to be treated in the comfort of my own home and not have to leave my baby boy to receive care at such a vulnerable time."

"I was struggling with extreme fatigue, mood swings, crying easily, and feeling easily overwhelmed and irritated. Meghan listened to my concerns and reassured me she knew exactly what to do. She prescribed herbal formulas and some medicinal foods to help nourish me up and regulate my hormones. I noticed a huge improvement in how I felt. I have continued to see her regularly once a month to keep me feeling balanced and grounded.
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.
