Renee utilizes Ear Acupuncture as a safe and effective compliment to the more traditional 'body acupuncture' for women in all stages of pregnancy including and especially labor. In fact, as many laboring women find it difficult to stay still and receive acupuncture to aid in their birthing process, Auricular Acupuncture can be a great alternative that does not constrict the laboring woman. Working with birthing women is a special interest for Renee and she hopes to assist and support women during that sacred time.

It is with deep commitment, presence and enthusiasm that Renee looks forward to accompanying you on your journey.
