Energy Medicine and Massage for Birth

Before Western medical practices displaced traditional midwifery, the touch and massage of a birth attendant or midwife was an essential component of prenatal care around the world. In the absence of obstetrical tools and gadgets, a midwife had her eyes, ears and hands to diagnose and assist pregnant women.

Honed by constant practice, the birth attendant’s senses of observation and intuition were finely tuned. The women attending birth are skillfully integrating the ancient healing arts of massage and traditional midwifery back into birth.

 

Prenatal Sessions are open to all women wishing to take a holistic approach to their pregnancy and birth. You DO NOT need to have me attend your birth to book these sessions. They are open to all.
