Acupressure

Birth Skills and acupressure for labour

Both acupuncture and acupressure can provide a natural, safe and effective form of pain relief during labour. Acupuncture can be used prior to labour to relax you and help you feel more energised in preparation for labour, as well as assist in encouraging an efficient labour and reducing the intensity of contractions.

We teach pregnant women, their partners and support-people how to apply acupressure during labour, allowing them to be actively involved in the birth.  Acupressure is an easy to use, non-invasive way to promote natural childbirth.  The techniques we teach help prepare the body for childbirth as well as prompt the body to function more efficiently during labour.

We recommend that both you and your partner attend one of our birth skills/acupressure classes together between week 36-38 of the pregnancy so you are both prepared in time for the birth.

• The overwhelming feedback we get from participants of our class is positive.
