Listen in as Amy Gendron shares with Michelle the ways in which Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture support families when they want to conceive a child and during postpartum recovery. Amy explains the vital importance of nutrition to nourish, support, and rebuild the body after birth and the role placenta encapsulation can play in that. Together they stress the cultivating  of community and putting a plan in place to receive non-judgemental help and support after the baby is born. "There's a few different mechanisms that they can demonstrate with western research what acupuncture does and it releases endorphins, it boosts the immune system, and it regulates inflammation. … In particular postpartum, what mother doesn't want immune system supported, what mother doesn't want her inflammation, you know, her healing mechanisms to be working, and what mother does not want feel-good hormones floating through her? It's really great at regulating everything."—Amy Gendron About Amy Gendron: Amy began her journey in holistic health as a personal trainer, mentored by a black belt martial artist.
