Ancient wisdom for the parents of today

Fertility, Pregnancy, and Postpartum care

Born & based in Vancouver

Established in 2008 by midwives and doulas who recognized the gap in supportive, integrative care for women—especially during pregnancy and postpartum. We were one of few clinics in Vancouver to offer a coordinated approach to prenatal acupuncture. This became the foundation for Acumamas: to make high-quality, evidence-informed care more accessible for women during key life transitions.

Since those early days, our services have expanded to meet the changing needs of our community. Today, we support women through every phase of life, including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause. In addition to acupuncture, our clinic offers naturopathic medicine, pelvic floor physiotherapy, massage therapy, and counselling. Each treatment is personalized and informed by both clinical insight and a deep respect for your individual health goals.

In Her Circle x Acumamas — A movement for postpartum mental health
Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month

This May, we're doing something that matters deeply to us

One in four women experience a mental health challenge during pregnancy or postpartum — yet most go unseen, undiagnosed, and unsupported.

Acumamas is partnering with In Her Circle — a community-led fundraising movement working to close gaps in postpartum mental health care. Funds raised will fully support one year of weekly drop-in postpartum support programming through Pacific Postpartum Support Society accessible to all mothers regardless of background or status.

We're matching donations 1:1 until we reach our goal of $1,400

Our Focus

Fertility support that helps you feel less alone

Whether you’re just starting to try or already navigating treatments, we offer evidence-based care that supports your cycle, calms your system and helps you feel more in control. Our approach integrates acupuncture, naturopathy and emotional support, working with your body, not against it.

Support that adapts as your pregnancy evolves

Each stage of pregnancy brings new changes and new needs. From easing symptoms like nausea or back pain to preparing your body for birth, we tailor care at every trimester. Our integrated approach blends acupuncture, massage therapy, pelvic physiotherapy and naturopathic medicine to support your body with clarity and confidence.

Postpartum support that respects your pace

Postpartum doesn’t follow a fixed timeline—and neither does healing. Some women seek care within days of giving birth, others need support months or even years later. And for many, the journey continues through perimenopause and menopause, bringing new hormonal shifts and physical changes that deserve expert attention.

What our customers are saying

Acumamas Wellness
I have been to Acumamas quite a few times throughout my pregnancy and it is such a supportive space. I’m now almost 40 weeks and struggled with debilitating sciatica, hip and lower back pain for the last 4 weeks to the point of not being able to walk. I saw Lisa for acupuncture and she truly transformed these last few weeks of pregnancy for me where I became so uncomfortable. My pain reduced after our first session and just kept getting better and better each time I saw her. I physically and mentally feel in such a better space thanks to her and am hopeful about enjoying these last few days of pregnancy. Also, Maria for pelvic floor therapy is so informative and really made me feel so much more empowered and connected during the last 9 months - already looking forward to working with her postpartum.
Nicole
Acumamas Wellness
I had a few sessions of cervical ripening acupuncture with Karolina. The sessions were relaxing and comforting. Karolina took care of my other needs such as back pain and sleep problem. I started the treatment around 37 weeks pregnant and my baby arrives naturally just one day before my due date. My labour progressed pretty fast and smoothly. I would recommend their acupuncture service to pregnant women who is looking for holistic treatment to help with their pregnancy and delivery process.
Wendy
Acumamas Wellness
I had a great experience with Maria. She creates a comfortable, supportive environment and has good energy. Highly recommend her for pelvic floor therapy.
Eli
Acumamas Wellness
I came to Lisa for acupuncture and moxibustion at 35 weeks pregnant with a breech baby. By 36 weeks, my baby had turned transverse, which I truly believe contributed to the success of my ECV—it was quick and painless. I was thrilled not only with the results, but also with Lisa’s care throughout the treatments. Her disposition was calm, kind, and reassuring every step of the way. I highly recommend Lisa and the clinic and am so grateful for the experience.
Candice
Acumamas Wellness
Dr. Smulders, Fiona, has been an absolute champion at helping me navigate perimenopause. She has a great deal of knowledge about how to deal with the various aspects of the journey. She has nutritional information, HRT knowledge, acupuncture, so many tools in her perimenopause/menopause toolkit! I have been recommending her to everyone that mentions peri/menopause.
Melissa
Acumamas Wellness
Karolina is wonderful. I originally started seeing her for daily headaches, and I’m so happy to say they have disappeared. Her sessions always leave me feeling deeply relaxed, and I now continue to go because I can feel the positive effect acupuncture has on my nervous system. The benefits usually last for weeks at a time. I’m very grateful for her care and would highly recommend her.
Kate
Acumamas Wellness
I booked an appointment with Lisa when I was 33 weeks to work on two issues: partial placenta previa and breech baby. We spent the first 3 weeks working on the placenta only, and by my next ultrasound it had moved out of the way. Then, working weekly on my breech baby. It always felt like a therapy session too. Lisa was great and an important key on my successful birth with no intervention. I can’t recommend her enough!
Camila
Acumamas Wellness
I had a very good experience with Karolina. First time getting acupuncture. My doula suggested this treatment and this specific clinic and I was very happy with how everything turned out. The result will show in the figure but for someone who has a tough time to relax I think it was very beneficial for me and for my preparation for birth.
V
Acumamas Wellness
I received support from Lisa during my first and third pregnancies, and I have nothing but praise for this wonderful practitioner. Lisa is a warm, highly skilled, and patient-centred acupuncturist who truly knows how to comfort and support clients during these vulnerable phases of life. I look forward to seeing her soon to thank her in person for all she has given to me and my babies.
Gabrielle
Acumamas Wellness
Karolina made me feel so welcome, she really got to know me and what I was needing. She came very highly recommended by my midwife team at Huckleberry Midwives. My session was very soothing, Karolina walked me through every step of the process so I always knew what was happening next. The quality of my session left echoing effects for hours after my session and even into today. After my session I felt an immense release of repressed emotions and today I truly feel relaxed, calm, comfortable and ready to meet my baby.

Coordinating your own care shouldn’t be the norm

We meet you where you are, with clinically grounded care tailored to your body, goals and life stage.
