Frequencies have a direct effect on our bodies and can almost instantaneously change the chemistry. For example, there are frequencies clinically proven to reduce inflammation and others that improve circulation. It’s like writing a computer program for our bodies to heal. There are 100’s of frequencies that we use to reduce inflammation and pain.

Acupuncture sessions help mom-to-be prep for the big day by calming anxiety and big emotions, relaxing muscle tension, and preparing the cervix for labor. Research shows that labor in first time mothers was reduced from eight hours and two minutes to six hours and 36 minutes in the acupuncture group. Treatments start at 36 weeks. Acupressure points will also be shared to use in labor to reduce pain and promote progression in labor.

Labor Prep
Research shows that acupuncture supports cervical ripening and can shorten the time between the expected due date and the actual time of delivery. Women that received acupuncture had an average delivery of 5 days from their due date vs 7.9 days in the control group. It is also effective to help promote labor for difficult or delayed labor, premature rupture of membranes.
This one time session is the perfect way to feel cared for 5 or more days postpartum to promote recovery. The use of moxibustion on the abdomen and lower back restore energy, circulate blood and relieve any aches and discomfort related to labor. This session can be completed in clinic or at home.

palliative cancer care
Kari-Ann is seriously the best! She has supported me through autoimmune, infertility, carpal tunnel and every other little ache and pain I have come in with. I’ve truly never felt more cared for by a provider. She is compassionate, invested in my health and well-being and so knowledgeable in her field and how the body functions. I'm beyond grateful to have found Luna Acupuncture and look forward to my weekly appointments.
-Meg
"Kari-ann is so compassionate!"
I started seeing Kari-Anne a few months ago for pre-in vitro fertilization acupuncture and she is the best! She is incredibly warm and accommodating, and she will do whatever she can to make you comfortable and help you achieve success. Given that my IVF worked and I am now pregnant, I, of course, give her my highest recommendation!
-Julie
"Kari-ann is the best!"
Kari Ann has been amazing through my pre conception and pregnancy phases. I truly believe acupuncture was the missing link for us having a successful IVF transfer. Our little blessing is now a month old and I credit Kari Ann for helping me stay comfortable and pain free as much as possible during pregnancy and for keeping my anxiety at bay during fertility treatments.
-Jenna
"She made me feel comfortable!"
If you are having pregnancy pains, this is a must do! Don’t put it off. Just schedule and go. I promise you won’t regret it! At 39 weeks, I had spent 2 months in pain and was struggling to even walk. After one session with Kari-Ann I was cleaning my house, playing with my kids and grocery shopping pain free! What a huge relief!
-MJ
"This is a must do!"
Kari is amazing! A couple of years ago, I never would’ve considered acupuncture, but after trying to conceive for over a year, I decided to give it a shot. Not only have I enjoyed the process, but I also love spending time with Kari. Her natural remedies are easy on the body and relaxing, and every suggestion she’s made has worked. In just a year, I’ve learned more about balancing and correcting my body from her than from all the fertility specialists and doctors I’ve seen. I’ll be forever grateful for her!
-Emily
"She is amazing!"
I saw Kari-Ann after struggling to conceive for 6 months. With her warm, knowledgeable approach, she helped me understand my health and what was normal. After a few sessions, I became pregnant! Kari-Ann also supported me with natural remedies and dietary changes that eased my nausea. I highly recommend Luna Acupuncture for anyone dealing with fertility or pregnancy issues. Thanks to Kari-Ann, I now have three beautiful children!
-Sarina
"Highly recommend!"
