Ama Mama Holistic Healthcare is a comprehensive location where a variety of alternative healthcare needs are met. Acupuncture, Colonic Hydrotherapy, Chiropractic, Homeopathy, Well-Woman/GYN, Massage, Midwifery, and more can be found in our colorful offices in San Diego's North County Coastal community of Encinitas.
Each practitioner at Ama Mama is fully licensed by their proper credentialing board... from Licensed Midwives, Acupuncturists, and Chiropractors licensed by the California Medical Board, to professionally trained Colonic Hydrotherapists (I-ACT Certified) and Massage Therapists... we take pride in our professionalism and committment to the very best.
Life, we feel, is a celebration and should be as pain and illness-free as possible. Yet, in this day and age when medicine tosses a pill at every sniffle and ache, many of us are finding ourselves looking backward (and forward!) to a time that was simpler and less technical. Believing in the body’s inherent knowledge to heal itself… yet, sometimes needing a helping hand… is what Ama Mama embodies.
Hours are flexible, revolving as much as possible around what our clients need and desire. The typical hours of operation are 8am-7pm Monday through Friday and Saturday, 8am-5pm. Please call to see if hours have been changed or extended!
Many Colonic Therapists believe that sickness and health begin in the colon. The accumulation of food and toxins in your bowels can have a profound effect on your well-being. Having a colon hydrotherapy session includes a discussion of your overall health and goals of the therapies. Discretion and privacy are of the utmost importance to us and absolute cleanliness is required of our therapists; only disposable items are utilized for your safety and our linens are cleaned professionally, adhering to all OSHA standards. The equipment used is also FDA-approved and our therapists are nationally certified, making our services highly professional and a cut above many Colonic practices in the area. The client does not experience either physical or sensory discomfort during or after the procedure… in fact, most find the procedure very relaxing and include colonic therapy in their repertoire of self-care that includes chiropractic and massage therapy.
The scope of midwifery care in our offices includes the entire childbearing cycle from menarche to menopause... Pap tests, cervical cap and diaphragm fittings, complete physical exams, fertility awareness education, alternative insemination, pregnancy testing and counseling, the gamut of prenatal care, homebirth deliveries, postpartum care for mother and baby, childbirth education including hypnobirthing classes, birth and postpartum doula services, breastfeeding assistance and more! We offer free mother support groups each week and strive to have several others that meet the different needs of an eclectic community.
