Today we had the pleasure of meeting Steven Booth from Seven Stars Shiatsu who introduced the group to acupuncture, acupressure and shiatsu for pregnancy and birth.
Discussion included use of acupuncture, acupressure and shiatsu for treating: infertility, overdue pregnancies, pain in labour, turning breech babies, PCOS, PMS, PPH, and promoting overall health.
Steven also provided live demonstrations of cupping therapy:
It was a fascinating topic which lead to interesting discussions and a lot of learning. Our group was delighted to have Steven come all the way from Essendon to spend a couple of hours enlightening us to these complimentary therapies.
