I am now trained in maternity Shiatsu skills after completing a course with Suzanne Yates in Bristol. The course covered pregnancy/labour/postnatal and baby shiatsu. Suzanne is the only practitioner/teacher teaching specific courses for midwives/doulas in maternity Shiatsu and teaches worldwide.

 

Common ailments of pregnancy may be relieved with shiatsu.

Couples can be taught skills for labour, ie pressure points to calm, relieve pain and stimulate labour. Have you made a friend at antenatal classes? Could do a small group of 4 to learn together in your home.. Or on a couple to one basis.

Women could also benefit with shiatsu for postnatal problems as well as the babies.
