Prenatal Care in Vancouver

Care for you and your growing baby

Pregnancy brings big changes, and many people look for gentle, drug-free ways to feel more comfortable. Prenatal acupuncture is adapted for pregnancy, your practitioner chooses points carefully, positions you comfortably with extra support, and adjusts treatment trimester by trimester.

Pregnancy concerns people often bring

• Nausea and fatigue in early pregnancy
• Low back and pelvic discomfort
• Stress, low mood and sleep
• Preparing your body for birth in the final weeks
• Postpartum recovery

Please note: if you're pregnant and booking a facial rejuvenation treatment, email Trace-Ace first to discuss options.

After birth

Our care continues postpartum. Once a C-section scar is fully healed, Trace-Ace offers microneedling and acupuncture to help soften the scar and ease any tightness or numbness around it. About scar treatment

Frequently asked questions

Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?

When provided by a Registered Acupuncturist trained in prenatal care, acupuncture is generally considered a gentle option. Always tell us how far along you are, and keep your midwife or doctor in the loop.

When should I start?

Any trimester. Many people come regularly in the first trimester and again in the last few weeks before their due date.

Acupuncture is a complementary therapy. It works alongside, not instead of, care from your physician or specialist. Please tell your practitioner about any diagnoses, medications or pregnancy.
