Acupuncture is Safe in Pregnancy
Research Shows:
No differences were found between the acupuncture study groups in the incidence of perinatal outcome, congenital abnormalities, pregnancy complications and other infant outcomes; thus, illustrating acupuncture is safe in pregnancy.*
Acupuncture for cervical ripening shortened the average number of days of estimated due date to delivery down to 5 days versus the control group of 7.9 days and reduced the need of induction to 20% in the acupuncture group versus the control group of 35%. *

Testimonials
“I wanted to share with you what happened today…my daughter had a epic meltdown at the grocery store because I wouldn’t let her have a lollipop. Seriously everyone was staring at us. But I had absolutely no symptoms of anxiety! No racing heart, no irritation or panic. I was calm the entire time, rinsed getting a couple items and stood in lie to check out. When we got to the car I did some deep breathing and I really think the acupuncture helped.”
“Hi Kari-Ann! I wanted to let you know I’ve been taking it easy as you suggested and the SPD pain [symphysis pubis dysfunction] has lessened quite a bit since I’ve seen you. Thank you!”
“Thank you for all of your help! I had her last night – VBAC!”
“I had three treatments through my pregnancy with Kari-ann. I had one to help my SPD, one for ripen and the final one was during labor (Talk about great service) to help pain and help rotate baby. The first treatment helped reset my body and allowed me to walk normally for another 10 weeks during the pregnancy. I had a ripen treatment which allowed me to relax and concentrate on my impending birth. I feel all those good vibes is what allowed me to have an easier labor. The last treatment was during labor. Kari-ann was able to do a treatment which helped reset my pain levels and give me the same peace and serenity to finish out my long labor. I didn’t know what to expect from acupuncture because I hadn’t done it before last year. I can say now that it allowed me to have a healthier body. Kari-ann does a great job of bringing a soothing and enlightening energy to every session. If you are on the fence about trying out acupuncture, have it be with Luna. Kari-ann will make sure that you are well taken care, come out feeling renewed and most of all cared for on a deeper level than a client.”
“Kari is an amazing healthcare provider and I am blessed to have met her while being pregnant! During my first trimester, I was experiencing endless headaches that I was having no luck managing. I want to see Kari and within a few hours, I finally felt relief! I always feel so relaxed and loved after leaving an acupuncture session and acupuncture has become my favorite self-care routine! I love Kari and will always recommend her to everyone!”
