Life in Balance

Baby and Beyond

 

Miscarriage

Losing a baby at any point during pregnancy is a truly traumatic experience and requires a great deal of attention. Accompanied by compassionate listening, as well as some of the above-mentioned remedies and modalities, the experience can be slowly processed and consolidated by counselling, creating a more hopeful attitude.

A more holistic approach like Jin Shin Jyutsu could be favourable to getting in touch with the mother’s feelings and assisting her on her path to a new role

 

Breech

There are few solutions - except c-section - for a baby who does not seem to be in the ideal position for a natural birth. Moxibustion offers an often successful solution. As surprising as it may seem, the success rate of over 80% proves its effectiveness.

 

Induction

There might be many reasons why a baby is not being born at the expected time and, fortunately, medical intervention is usually delayed as long as possible. Any underlying reason must be investigated before even something as mild as acupressure/acupuncture is being considered.

During an initial conversation, any emotional reasons should be discussed. For example, any previous traumatic birth experience or any reluctance by the mother-to-be to be seen in pain or out of control.

At the end of the session, all points (usually 6 to 8) are marked with a tiny seed which is stuck via a plaster on the point. This will not only extend the effect of the previous acupressure/acupuncture, it indicates the points for the mother to press, giving her a feeling of being in control.

 

Baby / Childmassage

Child massage is a natural form of therapy that causes no side effects but stimulates body functions. Based on the meridian system, it can be used on its own or as a supportive measure in combination with other treatments. The best results are achieved with children up to five years, but kids up to ten years still respond very well. 

Children always love any type of massage. Furthermore, their Energy runs much closer to the skin as with adults. This explains its effectiveness and provides a very gentle way of stimulating particular meridians. In a relatively short time, blockages are eliminated, and the flow of Chi is enhanced, thus assisting the body to heal itself.

Three of the most common imbalances respond particularly well to the above: any digestive issues, respiratory concerns and fever. Different to medication, massage does not suppress symptoms but enhances the respective immune system to go into self-healing.

The massage is shown and tought in detail to the mother or caregiver and written instructions are provided.

Consultations can be done in Person or Online, in English or German.
