Acupressure Workshop - March 26-27, 2010

On March 26-27, 2010 there will be a two day workshop on Acupressure and Childbirth for Birthing Professionals held in Wichita, Kansas. It will be lead by Dr. Lorraine Jones, who has been practicing acupuncture for many years and is extremely knowledgeable. Among other things, this class promotes and educates on healthy pregnancy and safe birth for expectant mothers, families, and their babies.

As as doula and massage therapist myself, I have had a small amount of training in acupressure from Dr. Jones. I have had wonderful success helping mothers begin labor and have successful natural births. In fact, I just had another mom have a successful natural birth this past Friday morning after doing acupressure with her on Thursday night to help enhance and facilitate her labor. This is just one of many amazing testimonials that I have from happy clients. It is well worth the knowledge, time, and expense as a birthing professional to take this training!

Acupressure for Labor and Birth - Fort Worth

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE ACUPRESSURE FOR MY LABOR AND BIRTH?
The majority of babies born in the U.S. show signs of stress or traumatic imprinting which begins with their fist interaction with the outside world - namely their birth. Natural, non-invasive techniques such as acupressure, acumassage, and gentle Asian massage techniques can prevent such trauma and help the mother and child to bond and enjoy their first moments of physical interaction. These techniques also aid in the process of giving birth and can eliminate some of the issues that can arise during this precious time.

WHAT IS ACUPRESSURE USED FOR?

• Facilitates labor to start for post due babies
• Encourages labor to progress at a steady pace and may prevent the use of medical intervention
• May help baby to position correctly for birth and/or help turn a breech baby
• May help to maintain the mother's and baby's vital signs and prevent unnecessary medical interventions
