Testimonials
"I found using acupressure during labour brilliant. Having used acupressure I wouldn't
even consider being in labour without it. The difference was amazing - I felt a
lot calmer and able to cope and much more relaxed. It was really good for me to
have my partner so closely involved with each contraction - I felt connected and
supported. Acupressure helped me stay focused and calm. Acupressure is safe, effective,
natural and I was in control. An ideal pain management technique."

"When I went into labour with my second child, I used the acupressure points thinking
they would take the edge off the pain at least. It wasn't until I had a contraction
while my husband was loading the car that I realised just how effective they were!
They halved the pain and allowed me to feel more in control of things. It was easy
to learn them and meant my husband got to do something very useful during the birth.
The labour felt much quicker since the contractions didn't feel as bad as the first
labour, right up to transition, which meant I only used the acupressure points and
didn't need any other pain relief."

"The simple technique of Acupressure enabled me to get through a short sharp labour
without artificial pain relief. It also helped my partner to play an active part
in the birth of our son - I've been recommending it flat out since my most positive
experience with it! "
Ruth Oliver, Wellington
"At first I was very cynical about acupressure's ability to relieve the pain of
childbirth, but as soon as my partner's contractions began, it was obvious that
this was really effective. She almost seemed to enjoy the contractions, as long
as I was pressing very hard indeed on the right spots and not letting up for an
instant. This was also the ideal way for me to feel fully involved in the birth
and not get too panicky. We had a trouble-free, doctor-free labour and birth and
we now have a beautiful, healthy, happy son. I'd recommend acupressure to anyone
having a baby."
