‘What Dads Can Do’

Heather’s answer to the question – ‘when to worry and when to take action’?.

 

What you take action rather than being hopeful and awaiting further  . . it makes all the difference – and in love not fear – in joy and graceful adherence to the easy step through instructions you can have an easy pregnancy, easy birth and easy life.

 

Videos developed together (see below) – the text with the films – as we all learn differently.

The actual hard copy had within it the DVD below.

Now as an MP3.

To ensure mum was as comfy, sleeping as well and being as ready and open as she can be to joyfully welcome baby into her arms.

These are basic. Alone they will transform your practice. Take out the cold. Listen to all elder wisdoms!

Cold Damages your health

All cultures warn against the cold seeping into a body. ‘Old wives tales’? No . .The unnecessary loss of essential energy  is covered and how you can help yourself – and why it is so important to NEVER use ice – or add in cool or cold to a woman. Especially around any time in birthing and lactation. Please listen to what your grandmother would have told you – no exposure to ice, no cold foods or fluids in your gut .We all remember being told to always cover up our head when it is cool weather, putting something on our feet, not sitting around in wet clothes. or on the cold concrete. Find out why . .

Cold is NOT a Mother’s Friend

So many lactation and post birth woes can be taken back to doing this one thing – adding in cold where it will do the most harm – to a vulnerable just birthed mum. All Asian cultures (and many others) would never be so stupid. Read some women’s stories – learn how to heal yourself –  what to avoid and what do to repair yourself. There is no need for mastitis, over bleeding and post birth incontinence, infections and prolapses.

 

Life Support

You discover how it all fits together so you automatically make life choices that help you

How your gut supports your life and why you need to pay attention to this to get the most out of life.
All backed up by oral traditions of all cultures as the wise women all knew – upset the gut and you are in all sorts of strife! (Even hyperemesis next up). To really understand what to do and how to help – the Self Care course (instantly at your fingertips) is here.

Simple solutions to make it easier to keep food down – or the thought of eating actually pleasant. Get started on your easier pregnancy immediately.

The ultimate life manual for all.

Woman Tides

Written initially as a handbook for a midwives’ short course in Amsterdam in 2007. It is an entertaining and informative course in itself. You learn what Shen, Qi, Blood and Jing are, and how they operate the physical body.

This is an energy instruction manual – explaining what drives your physical body, how it gets distressed and how to get the most from working with, not against the flows of nature. Includes how we get set up and what we can do to ensure the babies we make are as free from trauma as we can make them. When we do have distressed little people – how it happened and what we can do to aid them – and us as the older little people – who may also have had similar beginnings.

Here are the eBooks

Moxa Use in Pregnancy

 Moxa is part of the healing practices Chinese medicine has been using for thousands of years. Moxa is a substance is made from the dead and aged leaves of a plant (Artemis Vulgarus). The process of burning it either as a stick (looking much like a cigar) over acupuncture points frees any congestion/stagnation. Used before the massage it will ease any pain, but far more than this moxa in the sacral area improves blood flow to the uterus,allowing any growth retardation to normalise.

This is especially so in the pelvis, where all the angst and life repression may be held. Any pain or swelling or fat/fluid buildup is released this way – undo what is stored within. This will also build up the inner strength, assisting digestion, circulation – and in holding every aspect of the body in place. (including the baby is premmie is likely). Use as directed.  ..

Pregnancy Back Pain

This is ridiculously easy – and always works.

Using real moxa (see above), sitting forwards (not slouching backwards) and using the massage moves in the ‘What Dads Can Do‘ book – modeled in the video clips will vastly improve anyone’s life – especially when pregnant and aching – in the back or pelvis.

Birthing with ease

Fetal Positioning Solutions

Avoid induction and painful prolonged labour.

As a collaboration of two Kiwi (NZ) women. We have separately done the yards as mothers, birthing ourselves and our babies. Pauline Scott through her work in childbirth education, and myself as I birthed my own babies, taught acupuncture students, after designing and writing acupuncture courses, books, apps – treading where women have always walked. Through their lives, practically, and in service to others.

Why?
Having baby on the correct side for easy exit. Not ‘sunny side up’ makes all the difference for most who find themselves  ‘in trouble’ at the end of the baby exit. No need for induction, prolonged labour and tricky births. Plus  – open the baby gate!
Read stories of how other parents have won and allowed natural birthing to triumph with the use of the tools in this kit.

 

Breech Solutions

Temporarily (badly) positioned. Please remember baby may know what you do not. S/he may be safest presenting this way.  ‘Breech Solutions’ is a guide to undoing what maybe allowing bub to feel more comfy where an optimal birth is not likely. Although the title is Breech Solutions, it also encompasses any position – transverse and OP (babies back of head facing mum’s back – Occipital Posterior – see above) or anything. Some stories present you with the understanding that it is not always about what YOU and your medical team deems important. Great reading with hints to help yourself

 

Easy Birth Preparation

The dad’s or birth partner’s to loosen and relax mum’s pelvis; to undo her stresses and tensions, so birthing is easy, and parenting baby is a dream. These moves are also as useful in undoing past birth or life traumas.

The massage and moxa usage releases and relaxes. Gaining more intimacy whilst losing any aches and pains.

 

‘Sit Up and Take Notice’ – Pauline Scott

The best childbirth education guide.

Shows how and why optimal fetal positioning matters.
‘OP’ or occiput posterior has been the bane of so many good intentions .

How you can recognise and correct this, allowing bub the easiest exit from mum’s pelvis.
