Amanda Buckle R.Ac

Hello!   My name is Amanda Buckle, I am a registered acupuncturist and childbirth doula.  I have been offering community acupuncture at The Midwifery Group for the past 9 years and I am delighted to say that I am expanding my services at the new clinic so that more pregnant people can access the amazing benefits of prenatal acupuncture.  

I have had the privilege of providing prenatal, birth and postpartum acupuncture services for 11 years in both an office setting and through the provision of home and hospital services in Vancouver and surrounding areas.   I was drawn to this work because it helped me greatly in my own birth and postpartum period 15 years ago.

My education includes the completion of a 4-year Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the International College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.   In addition to independent study, I undertake annual classes and seminars which focus on the most up to date technology and therapy techniques available to acupuncture practitioners.

Prenatal acupuncture helps pregnant people prepare for childbirth by relaxing their nervous system, ripening their cervix, tonifying the uterus, reducing or eliminating pregnancy related discomfort eg. back hip and gluteal discomfort so that they feel as relaxed as possible and grounded and connected to their body thus helping them facilitate their best possible birth experience.
