We follow Debra Betts* guidelines for birth preparation aiming for an efficient birth through these 3 key areas:
1. Relaxed tendons/ligaments
2. Soften the cervix
3. Ensure baby is in a good position
Pre-birth treatment is best started from week 36/37 once a week and on average women come for 3 or 4 treatments. This can be adjusted to suit your circumstances.
Depending on your constitution and current presentation other health concerns can be addressed like back/hip discomfort, swelling, carpal tunnel, reflux to name a few.
Women often comment that the treatment is relaxing which is a great side benefit given all of the things that are often being sorted in those last few weeks and if there is any stress regarding your birth plan.
Acupressure for your partner/support person can also be taught in these sessions so chat to your practitioner regarding when a good time for them to come in is.
We love supporting pregnancy & sharing all our knowledge to help you have a good experience.
You can book in advance online or send us a message with any questions.
