Traditional Chinese Medicine postpartum care by Dr. Lily Yu Gillespie — nurturing mothers through the fourth trimester and beyond
LiLi is a specialized postpartum care service by Dr. Lily Yu Gillespie, rooted in the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Drawing on centuries of practice, LiLi supports new mothers through one of the most transformative — and demanding — periods of their lives.
In Chinese tradition, the postpartum period (known as "zuo yue zi" or "sitting the month") is treated with the same seriousness as the pregnancy itself. The mother's body has given everything to bring new life into the world. LiLi's approach honors this by providing comprehensive care that restores energy, supports recovery, and nurtures both parent and newborn.
LiLi combines multiple modalities from the Traditional Chinese Medicine framework, tailored to each mother's unique postpartum needs.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine protocols designed to replenish qi and blood, support healing, and restore the mother's vitality after birth.
Traditional techniques to promote healthy milk production and address common breastfeeding challenges through acupuncture and dietary guidance.
Holistic support for the emotional transitions of new parenthood — addressing anxiety, mood changes, and the adjustment to life with a newborn.
Therapeutic Chinese bodywork to relieve postpartum tension, improve circulation, and help the body find its new balance.
