Supporting Maternal Mental Health Through Acupuncture

Motherhood, while incredibly rewarding, often brings about a whirlwind of emotions and challenges. From the physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth to the rollercoaster of hormonal changes and sleepless nights, it’s no surprise that many mothers struggle with their mental well-being during this transformative journey. Fortunately, amidst the array of options available for self-care and support, acupuncture stands out as a holistic approach with profound benefits for maternal mental health.

Loosening Mom Guilt’s Grip

We support all members of the general public, and every Nest team member has specialized training and an interest in supporting those in their perinatal journeys—including those who are trying to conceive, are pregnant, have recently given birth, or are seeking support through loss.
