PREGNANCY AND BIRTHING PROGRAMME
You are pregnant - how fantastic to be expecting your first, second, third, fourth child - or more! But what to do now? The 40 week gestation of your child can be the most wonderful, empowering experience for a woman: happiness, peacefulness, high energy, motivation, excitement and a feeling of complete wellbeing.
However, for 80% of women this is not always the case. Many pregnancies are subsumed by reduced energy, morning sickness, fluid retention, raised blood pressure, skin conditions, lack of appetite or cravings, muscular stiffness or pain, mood swings and heartburn. Tearfulness and fear can affect not only your anticipation of the birth, but can also affect your unborn child.
The Pregnancy and Birthing programme assesses your individual needs and provides mental, emotional, chemical and physical support to the mum-to-be, to provide the best possible experience during this special time. Whether at Week 1 or Week 39, it can help you optimise your pregnancy and nourish your unborn child.
Treatments involve teaching an understanding of good nutrition for you and your unborn child, help with the birth and ongoing weaning programmes; relaxation through reflexology, massage and aromatherapy; monthly functional tests to assess any specific needs, and advice on nutritional or homeopathic supplementation, where appropriate, to assist with any identified imbalances. We provide monthly clinical checks and provide you with a mentor to guide you through all the questions along the way.
