Sure Start Children's Centres

Introducing Pregnancy Workshops at the Sure Start Children's Centres.

I am very happy to announce that I will begin running the acupressure in childbirth workshops from Sheffield's Sure Start Children's Centres.

This ties into the extension of maternity services at local children's centres and will mean that acupressure becomes more accessible for pregnant ladies preparing for birth.

Two new dates for the diary:

July 10th 2012 at Totley Children's Centre at 1.30 - 3.00pm
July 18th  2012 at Chancet Wood Children's Centre at 6.30 - 8.00pm

The workshop is designed for pregnant women and their birthing partners.
It is a one-off practical workshop that will teach you how to use acupressure trigger points during labour.
Acupressure works by stimulating the body to work more efficiently, releasing the body's own powerful pain relieving hormones; beta endorphins and serotonin.

I also teach acupressure points that have been shown to aid cervical dilation and regulate contractions so that labour progresses well. Also points to help with relaxation and partner involvement.

I can't emphasise enough how much this is for your partner too. This is a wonderful way to involve Dad in the birthing experience. This gives him a very hands on and practical way to help you and to help deliver your baby.

If you are interested in attending, I would love to see you there.

Also, my colleague Lucy Atkinson will be delivering her hypnobirthing, babycalm and toddlercalm courses from the same venues. Details you can find at her website http://www.hypnobirthingsheffield.com/
