Pregnancy Care

Through each trimester, steps are taken to ensure optimal nutrition and energy for both mom and baby. Pre-labour counselling, nutritional support and acupuncture are provided to facilitate a smooth and safe delivery. Once baby is born, the NatCan team can provide newborn baby care and our Naturopathic Doctors can provide lactation support, and paediatric support to ensure a healthy and thriving infant.
