What is acupuncture and how does it work?

Acupuncture is a gentle, holistic therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It uses very fine, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body to support balance, reduce pain, calm the nervous system, and improve overall wellbeing. Many people come to acupuncture for stress relief, fertility support, pregnancy discomfort, postpartum recovery, and nervous system regulation.

Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?

Yes, acupuncture is considered safe during pregnancy when performed by a trained practitioner. At The Womb Room, we specialize in perinatal care and tailor every session to your stage of pregnancy and your unique needs. Treatments can support common discomforts and help your body prepare for birth.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most people are surprised by how gentle acupuncture feels. The needles are extremely thin, much finer than a typical injection needle. You may feel a small sensation when the needle is placed, followed by a sense of heaviness, warmth, or deep relaxation. Many clients fall asleep during their session.

What is community acupuncture?

Community acupuncture is a more accessible, shared healing experience offered in our warm, supportive studio space. Instead of private rooms, clients relax in comfortable floor seating (with back support, blankets, and bolsters) while receiving treatment alongside others. This model allows us to offer acupuncture at a lower cost while still providing deeply effective care.

What should I wear to an acupuncture session?

We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your lower legs, arms, and neck. You have the option to remain fully clothed during your session.

How long are acupuncture sessions?

Session length depends on the type of visit: • New patient visits are typically around 75 minutes • Follow up sessions are usually 60 minutes • Community acupuncture sessions include about 30 minutes of rest time after needles are placed Your practitioner will guide you based on your needs.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your goals and what you’re seeking support for. Some people feel relief after just one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments over time. For fertility, pregnancy, or chronic concerns, we often recommend consistent care.

Can I bring my baby or child with me?

We understand that childcare isn’t always available. Babies are welcome in many of our offerings, especially postpartum. For acupuncture sessions, we recommend coming solo if possible so you can fully relax.

Is acupuncture covered by insurance?

At this time, acupuncture at The Womb Room is a self pay service. We are happy to provide receipts (superbills) that you may submit for potential reimbursement through your insurance or HSA/FSA account.

Who provides acupuncture at The Womb Room?

Our acupuncture services are provided by trained practitioners who specialize in holistic, trauma informed, and perinatal focused care. We are deeply committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for all bodies, identities, and family structures.

Is The Womb Room inclusive of all families and identities?

Always. The Womb Room is a space for all people navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood — including LGBTQIA+ families, solo parents, and non traditional family structures. You are welcome here exactly as you are.

I can’t say enough about working with Samantha. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. She has such a calming presence and really takes the time to listen and understand what’s going on in your body. I came in for support with my cycle and stress, and not only did I feel physical relief, but I felt more balanced overall. I always leave her sessions feeling grounded, supported, and cared for. I recommend her to everyone.
