Telephone Consultations: $250.00
Your city, schedule or lifestyle doesn't prohibit us from working together. We don't care if you live in Los Angeles or London. You now have effective options and the foremost team of acupuncturists and herbalists who specialize in treating postpartum disorders accessible to you no matter where you live. A comprehensive telephone consultation and personalized 3 month herbal plan designed specifically to significantly increase your chances of conceiving is now available for you. Please note: This consultation can last up to an hour and a half.

FREE SERVICE: If you are currently working with an acupuncturist, we will be happy to provide, after your consultation, an acupuncture-protocol for your acupuncturist to use.

Nutrition:
Your Initial Consultation is your first step, and will be conducted by Cynthia Stadd, HHC, Berkley Center Director of Nutrition Services. Your intake includes a full assessment of your current diet/lifestyle choices, as well as a preliminary discussion on stress reduction (if applicable) and fitness planning to strengthen your body and spirit. You will walk away with a few powerful, specific recommendations to get you started.

Cynthia will then discuss with you which Nutritional Wellness Program is most appropriate for your needs. These programs are both available for our friends outside of the New York City area, using phone and email. Your personal patterns, such as how much time you have available to devote to food shopping and cooking, will always be respected. You will receive an individualized, step by step outline that supports your health and personal health and fitness goals.

The fee for this consultation is $250.00 (In-Person or by Phone). For more information about what to expect in this Initial Consult, please click here.

Yoga
Yoga is an ideal choice for postpartum health! A gentle practice can resume within a week or two after a vaginal delivery. After a c-section, it is recommended that you wait at least 6 weeks to start a practice. Always get the "ok" from your doctor and listen to your body before beginning or resuming a yoga practice!

Highlights of a postpartum practice:

  • retrain and strengthen muscles, particularly the pelvic floor and abdominals
  • focus on core strengthening
  • restore, renew and energize
  • reconnect to a sense of your own body and its needs
  • improve circulation
  • identify whether or not a diastasis has occurred (a separation of the rectus abdominus muscle) and learn techniques to help it heal

Private one-on-one classes: $65.00 per hour
Cost Savings Package: Buy 10 sessions for $500.00
Semi private classes: $15.00 per class
