Birthing

Clare has previously worked as a doula. A doula is a non medical person who assists a lady before, during and after child birth to provide physical assistance as well as emotional support and advocacy. The provision of continuous support during labour is associated with improved maternal and foetal health as well as providing other benefits. Clare undertook her Doula training in Western Australia and she also worked at Sydney South West Private Hospital in Liverpool and Kareena Hospital in Miranda teaching ‘Natural Therapies for Labour Classes.’ She now teaches private classes at the clinic. These teach the lady’s partner or birth partner techniques to help the lady manage labour pain. These include massage and acupressure techniques. If a decision has been made by an obstetrician that an induction is required, Clare can perform labour induction treatment. The first part of this treatment involves ensuring the lady has appropriate pelvic alignment. If there is misalignment the birth canal is also has suboptimal positioning. The massage oil blend ‘Waiting for Baby’, which is specially made for labour, is used. These oils are safe and specific for labour as they known to initiate and enable the progression of labour. Safe and specific techniques are used to align the pelvis. Then a reflexology treatment is given to further promote relaxation into the optimal positioning as well as general relaxation of the pelvic area. There is also stimulation of specific reflexology and acupressure points which assist in dilating the cervix. During the treatment relaxation and preparation of the mind and body is brought about through listening to positive affirmation and birthing CDs. Clare gives no guarantee of progression of labour, however if the head is engaged, labour often begins a few hours after the treatment.
