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.

 

Ailments of pregnancy such as carpel tunnel syndome, Symphisis Pubis Dysfunction, back pain, leg cramps, insomnia, heartburn, constipation, haemmorhoids and more 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 can be helped with breastfeeding problems, abdominal pain and other symptoms postnatally.

Babies can be helped with shiatsu for colic, as it aids digestion, constipation, calming, colds and spinal alignment to name a few.
