Naturopathic Medicine for Pregnancy & Post-Partum Care
Your body is doing remarkable work during pregnancy—nourishing and growing new life. To support this journey, optimal nutrition, targeted supplementation, regular movement, and effective stress management all play a key role. After all, your baby’s well-being begins with your own.
As trained primary care providers, Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) offer personalized, whole-person care to help you navigate the many stages of pregnancy—from conception to post-partum recovery. At Garibaldi Health Clinic, we begin with a comprehensive medical intake and, when needed, recommend diagnostic testing. Your treatment plan may include natural, non-invasive therapies such as nutrition, acupuncture, botanical medicine, IV vitamin/mineral therapy, homeopathy, or the Bowen technique—each carefully selected to support your unique needs.
