Structured, trimester-based acupuncture support during pregnancy and postpartum recovery, designed to regulate, restore, and guide you through each phase.

Already Pregnant After Fertility Support With Us?

Congratulations — and welcome to the next chapter. If you’ve been working with us through your fertility journey and have a positive test, we’re here to continue supporting you through pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Prenatal acupuncture helps manage morning sickness, fatigue, back pain, and sleep disruption during pregnancy. Postpartum sessions support hormonal rebalancing, emotional recovery, milk supply, and pelvic restoration after birth. You don’t need to start over with a new intake we already know your history and will build your prenatal plan from where we left off.

We provide prenatal acupuncture throughout all three trimesters and postpartum acupuncture care for Austin and Bee Cave TX patients, supporting recovery, hormonal rebalancing, and mental wellness after birth.

Gentle Preparation for Labor

As delivery approaches, care shifts toward readiness.

Pelvic circulation support
Nervous system regulation
Gentle labor preparation
Rest and recovery support

We focus on preparation, not pressure.

Postpartum Recovery Matters

Birth is not the end of care. It’s the beginning of recovery.After delivery, your body moves through:

Hormonal shifts
Tissue healing

Nervous system strain
Breast milk sufficiency

You shouldn’t have to recover alone. Postpartum support may help with:

I had the pleasure of getting a free 30 min acupuncture treatment from Mia at the South Austin location. This was my first time receiving acupuncture, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect going in. Their intake form was pretty lengthy, but I was happy it asked a lot of questions, mostly pertaining to digestion/muscle tension/stress/emotional well being. One thing that was not asked on the form though was whether or not I was pregnant, and I'm 17 weeks pregnant, so Mia wasn't aware of that until I got into the room for my consultation. She said she would mention that to the team who puts together the intake questions, but wanted to mention that here as well. Mia and I talked for about 10 mins or so so we could discuss my answers and go over my concerns in more detail. She also asked me to explain some of my answers a little more once we were in person. Once she found out I was pregnant, we had to adjust some of my areas of concerns since I couldn't lay on my stomach, but that didn't bother me at all. Stress was the biggest area that I wanted to address when coming in, so once I was laying on the table, Mia placed the acupuncture needles in various places to help with that. Then she turned a sound machine on and let me be for 30 mins, and it was really nice. I felt some pulses occasionally at the different places where the needles were, but overall I just felt like I was laying down meditating. I fell asleep for about 15 of the 30 mins which was also nice. After I left, I definitely felt more calm and relaxed. I would have to do more sessions to determine the true benefits of acupuncture for myself, but overall I very much enjoyed the first time experience!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Taylor, for the detailed and thoughtful review. We are glad Mia and the South Austin team made your first acupuncture experience calming and restorative and that you left feeling more relaxed. We appreciate you pointing out that pregnancy was not on the intake form and will share that feedback with our team to improve the intake process. We look forward to welcoming you back if you choose to continue sessions.

I had a great experience at Bee Cave Acupuncture! Dan did my acupuncture treatment and did an excellent job. He was professional, attentive, and made me feel comfortable throughout the experience. Maria at the front desk was also very friendly and welcoming. They both made my visit a really positive experience. I highly recommend Bee Cave Acupuncture and will definitely be coming back!
