Postpartum Support with Acupuncture and TCM

Did you know that acupuncture has been shown to be as effective as fluoxetine for treating postpartum depression?

The postpartum period is a critical time for new mothers, often filled with a mix of joy and emotional challenges. Traditional Chinese Medicine, including acupuncture, offers a gentle, effective way to support mental health during this transition.

Postpartum Benefits of Acupuncture:
•Alleviates postpartum depression and anxiety
•Restores energy and vitality
•Balances hormones
•Supports emotional resilience

Complement your acupuncture sessions with therapy, mindfulness practices, and adequate rest to nurture your well-being.

Nurture Your Mind and Body During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it can also bring its own set of challenges, including anxiety and depression. Acupuncture, a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine, can be a powerful tool to support your mental health during this time.

Benefits of Acupuncture During Pregnancy:

•Reduces stress and anxiety
•Enhances overall emotional well-being
•Promotes better sleep
•Eases physical discomfort
•Balances hormones

Combine acupuncture with other supportive practices like therapy, meditation, and gentle exercise to create a holistic approach to your mental health.

She joined CFA in 2023 after working in private and community acupuncture settings in both the Boston/Cambridge, MA and Raleigh/Chapel Hill, NC.

Calling all Indian food lovers! Please join us for this pop-up event tomorrow night at Dramtree Tavern (they have an expansive outdoor area if you haven’t been already)…

Meet Jess!

Jessica's wellness journey began at 19 in the serene world of spa therapy, where she honed her skills in massage, esthetics, and natural nail care which all eventually led her to acupuncture school in New Mexico. Jessica loves how effective Chinese medicine is at treating pain, especially by using a combination of tools like tui-na, cupping, heat therapy, guasha, needling and topical herbs to relieve pain and decrease healing time.
Outside of work Jessica has dedicated countless hours to organizing surf contests and volunteering with pet and farm animal rescues. In 2021, she took up tennis on a whim and fell in love - eventually starting her own tennis league! She has been so inspired by her time on the court that she decided to dive back into education to further her knowledge in sports and recreation at UNC Wilmington.
To schedule your appointment with Jess, call our office at 910-352-4555 or visit https://capefearacupuncture.com/jessica-holleman-lac/ to schedule online!

We had so much fun teaching my daughter’s 4th/5th grade class about acupuncture and TCM. Hopefully a new tradition! Peace Rose Montessori School

Saying goodbye to this sweet space was hard after 9 1/2 years. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t perfect. The building was old and had its issues… But I still loved my sweet little “grandma’s house” and it’s three treatment rooms that saw so many patients through highs and lows. Please feel free to comment below or like this post if you were treated in this building by one of our practitioners. Auf Wiedersehen 3802 Park Ave!

It’s happened! New pics to come. But we love our sweet new spot! Still centrally located too.
