Shiatsu can help support and
nourish the body and mind during pregnancy creating the space to connect
deeply with your baby, as well as helping to integrate the birth
experience in the postnatal period by nourishing and nurturing the new
mother.
My maternity work started in
2002 when I was present at a birth and gave Shiatsu and emotional
support to the mother. I have since supported other women during their
labours, and have completed my postgraduate training in Shiatsu in
maternity care. I now focus on providing antenatal and postnatal Shiatsu
to nourish and support women in this very special time.
I teach simple Shiatsu
techniques to couples including acupressure points for pain relief,
birth positions, breathing and visualisation. These can be very
effective in supporting birthing women both physically and emotionally.
Birthing partners that I have
worked with have commented on the usefulness and security of receiving a
set of tools they could use to help support the mother, and to be able
to be more involved in the birthing process.
Heated birth pool hire also
available. |
