Pregnancy & Postnatal Support Canberra

Holistic care for pregnancy, birth and early parenthood

Many women and families seek holistic pregnancy support in Canberra to feel balanced, confident and well throughout their journey.

At Live Well, we provide integrated pregnancy and postnatal support, working at a deeper, whole-person level to support your body’s natural capacity to adapt. Our care complements the support of your GP, obstetrician or midwife.

A whole-person approach to pregnancy

Pregnancy influences every system of the body — circulation, hormones, posture, digestion and the nervous system. Rather than viewing these changes as problems to be managed, we support balance and regulation so your body can function optimally during this important transition.

Our Canberra pregnancy support services include:

  • Acupuncture for pregnancy

  • Osteopathy

  • Naturopathy

  • Kinesiology

  • Pregnancy massage

  • Holistic GP care

Care is individualised and adjusted as you move through each trimester.

First Trimester Support

The first trimester often brings fatigue, nausea and significant hormonal shifts, alongside emotional adjustment to early pregnancy.

Support during early pregnancy may include:

  • Acupuncture for pregnancy-related nausea and nervous system regulation

  • Naturopathy to review nutrition and support energy levels

  • Kinesiology to support stress regulation and emotional balance

  • Holistic GP consultations for integrated medical and lifestyle guidance

Research has explored acupuncture for pregnancy-related nausea, with studies suggesting it may reduce symptom intensity for some women. Individual experiences vary.

Our aim during the first trimester is to support you as your body adapts.

Second Trimester Support

As pregnancy progresses, structural and postural changes become more noticeable.

Second trimester care may include:

  • Osteopathy to support spinal, pelvic and postural changes

  • Pregnancy massage for musculoskeletal comfort and circulation

  • Acupuncture to support digestion, sleep and nervous system balance

  • Naturopathy to review nutritional needs as pregnancy develops

  • Kinesiology to support emotional adjustment and stress resilience

The focus during this stage is maintaining comfort and supporting ongoing balance.

Third Trimester & Birth Preparation

In the final months, the physical load increases and attention naturally turns toward birth.

Third trimester support may include:

  • Osteopathy and pregnancy massage for pelvic, back and joint comfort

  • Acupuncture in late pregnancy as part of a birth preparation plan

  • Kinesiology to support nervous system regulation and emotional readiness for birth

  • Holistic GP care where integrated oversight is helpful

Some women choose acupuncture in the final weeks as part of their birth preparation. Care is individualised and aligned with your preferences and broader care team.

Our role is to support relaxation, regulation and confidence as your body prepares for labour.

Postnatal Support Canberra

Supporting recovery and early motherhood

The weeks and months following birth are a time of profound adjustment. Hormonal shifts, sleep disruption and the demands of caring for a newborn require patience and support.

Postnatal holistic care at Live Well may include:

  • Osteopathy for postural strain and recovery after birth

  • Postpartum doula support for practical and emotional guidance in early motherhood

  • Naturopathy to support nutritional replenishment and energy

  • Acupuncture for nervous system regulation and overall wellbeing

  • Kinesiology to support emotional processing and adjustment during this transition

  • Holistic GP care for integrated postnatal support

The is to support recovery at a pace that respects both your body and your lived experience.

Confident, collaborative care

We believe pregnancy and early parenthood are best supported through balanced, collaborative care. Holistic therapies can provide guidance and reassurance at key stages, while working harmoniously within your broader medical plan.

Our practitioners work together as an integrated team here in Canberra, and we welcome collaboration with your GP, obstetrician or midwife where appropriate.

You deserve to feel supported, informed and confident as you move through pregnancy and into parenthood. We are here to walk alongside you — supporting balance, resilience and meaningful, lasting wellbeing for you and your growing family.
