Healing with Postpartum Acupuncture
Your Fourth Trimester is better with acupuncture.
Our postpartum acupuncture care helps new Sonoma County parents ease into this beautiful and sometimes challenging transition. The postpartum period is a delicate time. No matter what your birth experience has been like, you need to rest, and your body needs to heal.
Imagine having one hour all to yourself to relax, rest, and be taken care of, where no one is asking anything of you, and you get to rest quietly in a calm, nurturing environment. Our acupuncture office is a peaceful refuge for you to step away for an hour and feel cared for. We can even work with you to schedule your visit right after you feed your baby, so you can enjoy some time away from home restoring your own energy.
When seeking out postpartum acupuncture care, it’s important to choose a qualified prenatal and postpartum acupuncturist with advanced, specialized education and experience for your support team. Our Petaluma acupuncturists combine compassionate care with skilled expertise to support postpartum families. Aimee Ruiz, L.Ac., FABORM, is a senior member with the Obstetrical Acupuncture Association, OBAA, which requires years of prenatal education, birth experience, and a rigorous exam to qualify.
