Women's Health
There are many natural cycles in a Woman's life from puberty to menopause including pregnancy and childbirth. Ideally these physical transitions should be seamless with minimal disruptions to our everyday lives and emotions. However more and more women are finding these transitions uncomfortable, distressing and sometimes painful. Acupuncture can help make these significant milestones much easier and the way they are meant to be.
