Oakland Postpartum Acupuncture
The postpartum period is a delicate time
After the birth of your baby, so many things change. As you heal from your birth, you and your body are also learning to support your new baby. Sometimes, postpartum struggles and healing issues come up after labor and delivery. It’s common to struggle with sleep and body pain. Postpartum hormone shifts can affect your emotions and mood, and if that happens, we are here to support you.
Many families benefit greatly from adding a qualified postpartum acupuncturist with specific prenatal and postnatal education and experience to their support team. We love helping you ease into this beautiful growth period by providing nurturing postpartum acupuncture support either at our East Bay Acupuncture office or in your own home.
Golden Month Postpartum Acupuncture Support
The Fourth Trimester
Imagine having one hour all to yourself to relax, rest, and be taken care of. Acupuncture can be a powerfully restorative part of your postpartum healing and self-care plan.
You are welcome to bring your little one with you if you need to. To make your postpartum acupuncture experience with your baby stress-free, you can either: bring a caregiver along to watch your newborn during your treatment, or come in early to feed your little one before your session. Babies often sleep in the treatment room, right alongside you!

Golden Month Care
Postpartum Home Visits
In Chinese and East Asian cultures, the month or forty days following your birth is called the Golden Month and is considered a critical time for a new parent to receive nurturing care, so you can support your newborn.
To nourish and support you during your first month or so after birth, we provide postnatal acupuncture visits in the comfort of your own home. We make sure you can receive the essential care and nourishment you need to heal in the space you feel most comfortable.
Home visits are available by appointment. Email us for more information.
An additional travel fee may apply outside of the Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, Piedmont, and Alameda areas.
“Aimee’s room is one of my happy places! I was taking care of a little boy and just had a baby, with tons of responsibilities and barely any help. When you go to Aimee, you will get somebody sympathetic to help you with your health issues, as well as listen to you, which to me is as healing as the needle treatment she provides.”
