why should I use acupressure during pregnancy?

Acupressure has been used for thousands of years to support women in labour. We created this course from our own birthing experience to support the woman and empower her birthing partner to co-create the labour they envisioned.

Each point has a specific action that when stimulated will help facilitate the body’s natural birthing process.

Having had 3 labours we got to experience the amazing benefits that these acupressure points have to offer.
