Dr. Katie and Dr. Jonna have advanced training in the area of prenatal care and have worked closely with midwives and maternity doctors. Known for their work in this field, we accept clients from the maternity clinics in Calgary and from midwifery teams in Alberta. With compassion and understanding of the many common complaints of pregnancy, we looks forward to offering assistance, support and encouragement through your journey from conception to delivery.

Other pregnancy related conditions
There are many other conditions that can be successfully treated using acupuncture and are often seen in the clinic setting, these include but are not limited to:
- Breech presentation: The use of acupuncture and moxa have been highly successful in encouraging the baby to turn to correct position
- Hypertension: Regular acupuncture visits aid to stabilize the blood pressure
- Induction: A very popular alternative to encouraging the onset of labour, we assist many women in promoting labour for post dates and other urgent concerns that require induction. Acupuncture can also be used to increase frequency and intensity of contractions for slow or stalled labour.
