Course Overview
Perinatal care is evolving, and acupuncturists play a critical role in improving maternal health outcomes. Dr. Deb Davies shares evidence-based TCM strategies to support pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery in this session. We'll explore how acupuncture and herbal therapies alleviate common perinatal challenges while enhancing emotional well-being, addressing reproductive rights, and promoting patient autonomy.

Using current U.S. birth statistics and cutting-edge research, we'll analyze the impact of integrative care on reducing interventions, improving birth outcomes, and fostering a patient-centered approach. The discussion will emphasize the importance of bedside manner, ethics, and advocacy in clinical practice. Additionally, Dr. Davies will highlight the value of interprofessional collaboration between acupuncturists, obstetricians, and midwives in advancing maternal care.

This session also includes specialized practices like navel cupping and moxa sacral fan—powerful tools for supporting labor, recovery, and overall well-being. Whether you're new to perinatal acupuncture or looking to refine your skills, this class offers practical knowledge, research-driven insights, and new or refined tools to enhance your private practice.

Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section.
