Labour & Birth Preparation – for natural, Caesarean and to avoid induction from £150.00

For natural and Caesarean: 36 – 40 weeks

From week 36 we recommend weekly or bi-weekly sessions of acupressure & reflexology alongside lymphatic drainage and visualisation techniques to help prepare the body and mind for birth by boosting energy, helping fluid retention and supporting the pelvis and cervix to encourage spontaneous labour to commence.

Research and feedback from New Zealand midwives indicates that the use of pre-birth acupuncture and acupressure results in a reduction of post date (overdue) babies, shorter labours and less medical intervention.

We also know that treatments at this time can help you switch off and become more open and ready for the life change you are about to experience. We also can’t think of a better time to put your feet up and relax!

If a caesarean birth is planned, treatments beforehand can assist you with your preparation and recovery. You may have been recommended this route for medical reasons and have mixed emotions about this or have personally chosen this path but still feel anxious about your baby’s delivery.

Working alongside your medical team, we want to offer you as much care and support as you need to give you confidence for a positive birth experience.

  • Total treatment time: 240 minutes
  • Extra’s: Recommended homeopathic remedies and/or personal blends are charged as required
  • Duration: to be taken over a 4 week period*
  • Cost: £270.00 (£30.00 saving)

If you would like to book or discuss a Labour & Birth Preparation package please get in touch »

For twin or multiple births please contact us to discuss appropriate timings.

Please Note: We recommend your birthing partner attends one session to learn simple acupressure techniques to help you during labour with general pain relief.

*Should your baby arrive prior to you taking all four sessions a credit will be held for 3 months from day of purchase for you to take the remanining session(s).  

Encouraging Natural Labour prior to Induction 40+ weeks

Not all babies arrive on or before their due date and whilst this is perfectly normal it can lead to feelings of impatience, anxiety and apprehension. Physically you may be feeling tired and uncomfortable. If you have reached your due date and are scheduled for a medical induction we recommend this option. At the very least it will encourage a calm state and sense of wellbeing, renewing your energy prior to delivery and help you to regain your excitement and re-focus as well as promoting a healthier recovery.

  • Total treatment time: *up to 210 minutes
  • Extra’s: Recommended homeopathic remedies and/or personal blends are charged as required
  • Duration: to be taken over a 10-14 day period
  • Cost: £150.00 (*£75.00 saving)

* If your baby has not arrived after your initial 2 sessions, a 3rd session will be offered free of charge. If your baby arrives after your first session, your second will be offered as a post natal treatment.
