Support for Moms: Realigning the body to a State of Balance
by Dr. Elizabeth Spagat, ND, LAc
The body holds on to many of the stresses from the birth process, whether vaginal or C-section. Realigning the body to a state of balance prepares a new mother for the challenges of caring for her baby. Dr. Elizabeth Spagat, ND, LAc, combines many therapeutic influences to create individualized programs specific to each mom.
Ideally, this work begins six weeks after the birth of a baby. However, it has been Dr. Spagat's experience that any woman, at any stage of life -- new mom, old mom, and women who have not had children -- can benefit from these treatments. Releasing past burdens and creating new health visions for our futures allows women to use their feminine spirit to create, be it with children, family, career or hobby.
You can expect a combination of these treatments:
Acupuncture: Creates greater energy in the body Nutritional Counseling: Addresses dietary needs of breast feeding moms
Bodywork: Releases tension in the body related to birth and caring for little ones
Internal Vaginal Bodywork: Restores tone and balance to the pelvic floor, combining release of physical tension while healing energetically
Naturopathic Medical Treatments: Addresses symptoms, such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, milk supply issues, yeast. Dr. Spagat may suggest some additional treatments to take home.
