Labour preparation and induction
PreBirth treatment involves a series of four treatments weekly from 36 or 37 weeks
to prepare for labour. Studies have found these treatments to be
helpful in ripening and dilating the cervix before labor begins, thus
shortening the amount of time spent in labour
(especially in first time mothers) and aiding in efficient contractions during labour. All of these
effects result in less stressful, more natural childbirth, with less medical
intervention.
Postpartum
Postpartum
recovery called “mother warming”
points on the lower abdomen and back aid healing, relieve soreness, help tone
the uterus, help the new mother feel stronger, more rejuvenated and ready to
begin her new role as mom.
§
Insufficient lactation
§
Depression

Urinary incontinence.
ACUPUNCTURE is
a safe, effective and drug free treatment option before-during-after pregnancy.

COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES & PREGNANCY
Massage and bodywork (RMT, Shiatsu, and
Craniosacral) plays a very important role in our
pregnancy support program at ALLONE. Massage and bodywork calms anxiousness,
eases the aches and pains women experience as their bodies change and helps in
preparation for childbirth. Our entire massage team has additional preparation
and great experience in pre and postnatal care.
Counseling sessions can offer
support, validation, emotional management, and problem-solving skills to women
as they go through the biological and social stages of life. A therapist can
help create space for discussing and working through the emotional issues that
surround infertility, being pregnant and post-partum.
We offer a very
talented multimodality team of healers offering sessions from Hypnotherapy, Soul Healing Bodywork,
Spiritual Counseling, Ancestral Healing to Certified BodyTalk
and Breakthrough Coaching.
Our truly
holistic approach treats all aspects of your being – physical, mental, emotional,
spiritual, and social. The AllOne comprehensive
programs feature a customized and integrated blend of all the professional and
caring expertise that All One offers: TCM, acupuncture, naturopathic medicine,

modality or blend of them all – it is up to you and your needs. We are here to listen,
answer your question and offer our best professional care.
