ACUPRESSURE WORKSHOPS FOR PAIN RELIEF
~ Supporting your natural birth ~
If you are keen to prepare for a natural birth then this is the workshop for you. Here you will learn effective pain relief techniques in a supportive and informative environment using acupressure. Find out how to help keep labour moving along, whilst staying calm and relieving nausea - all with simple acupressure methods that your partner can learn and apply easily.
In this workshop, you will develop an understanding of where the acupressure points are, how to use the right pressure on them and when to do it. You & your partner will come away with valuable tools to effectively assist a natural labour. You will also receive a booklet with pictures of where all the points are and info on what they do, as well as a quick reference guide for the big day.
Rebecca Mar Young and Naomi Abeshouse are acupuncturists and Chinese herbalists who specialize in women’s health, especially during pregnancy. They co-run the Red Tent Health Centre for women and their families in Woollahra. Naomi is also a Doula and has had a lot of experience with women in labour so will be able to share many stories with you that will give you extra little tips and the confidence you need to use these techniques well.
If you’re pregnant, please bring along the person who is going to be supporting you so they can become familiar with where the points are on your body.
“I found using acupressure during labour brilliant. Having used acupressure I wouldn’t even consider being in labour without it. The difference was amazing - I felt a lot calmer and able to cope and much more relaxed. It was really good for me to have my partner so closely involved with each contraction - I felt connected and supported. Acupressure helped me stay focused and calm.”
By Sarah Doherty, Wellington.
"Ive used these techniques as a Doula with most of my clients and have been amazed by the results. I highly recommend Rebecca's workshop as part of your preparation toward the birth of your baby."
By Lauren Penning, Sydney.

PRIVATE CLASSES for acupressure for labour
You may not be able to make a group class for many reasons, you may be due very close to the date of the class, you maybe away ... Whatever the reason, a private class is a wonderful option to consider as you get personalised attention and can ask all the questions you like to ensure your preparation for a natural labour is thorough.
These classes can be arranged when it suits you and your partner and cost $150 for one hour. You will receive all the same materials as the group class, however will have our undivided attention and focus on you and your partner.
We have provided private lessons for many couples who feel very well looked after and extra prepared for the birth.
