Collaborative Acupuncture & Massage Therapy

Alice Morgan Acupuncture × Body Align Myotherapy

Acupuncture and massage together create a deeply restorative, whole-body reset. While acupuncture calms the nervous system and supports your internal regulatory balance, massage releases muscular guarding and promotes healthy circulation.

Starting with your acupuncture session, Dr Alice Morgan tailors each treatment to your unique health goals, helping your body settle, unwind, and prepare. From there, you move seamlessly into your treatment with a
Body Align Myotherapy therapist, carrying that deep state of relaxation forward as physical tension softens and your system fully rebalances.

1. Acupuncture & Nurturing Pregnancy Massage

Designed to ease the physical and emotional shifts of pregnancy, this nurturing combination supports your body as it adapts and grows.

2. Labour Preparation Acupuncture & Massage

Tailored specifically for the final weeks of pregnancy (from 36–37+ weeks onward), this targeted dual treatment focuses on birth preparation and nervous system calming.

  • Labour Preparation Acupuncture: Dedicated points are selected to encourage pelvic blood flow, support cervical ripening, ease maternal anxiety, and assist the body's natural transition toward labour.

  • Targeted Release Massage: Relieves deep sacral and lower back tightness, opens the hips, and calms physical holding patterns, helping your body soften and relax before birth.

  • The Combined Result: Optimal physical comfort and nervous system ease, giving you the space to feel calm, connected, and physically prepared.

Women’s Wellness Packages

This restorative combination is curated to support women through every rhythm and transition of life, whether you are navigating menstrual irregularities, cycle-related pain, PMS, perimenopause, or general fatigue.

The Acupuncture Foundation

Your session begins with tailored acupuncture to support hormone balance, enhance pelvic circulation, and address root patterns of cycle discomfort or tension. This acupuncture session is designed for those who are looking for a general balance, rather than addressing complex cases. Not recommended for fertility or IVF support acupuncture session. For help with more complex issues and fertility support, book your appointment with Dr Alice here.
