pregnancy & Post Natal Care


Good for you, good for baby

Many of the problems that we take for granted and accept as a normal part of being pregnant can be prevented. You don’t need to put up with spd/pgp, tired aching legs, varicose veins or swollen ankles; nor do you have to cope with sickness, headaches, or fluid retention. Mizan Therapy helps to relieve these and many other complaints.

Treating yourself to regular Mizan Therapy is relaxing and enjoyable for both you and the baby. Because it promotes circulation, the abdominal muscles are relaxed and strengthened, ready to birth your baby. It’s a great way to encourage your baby into the optimum position ready for birth, leading to a shorter labour and easier birth for you both.

Benefits of Mizan Therapy during pregnancy

  • Can help to resolve the symptoms of SPD/PGP

  • Relieves common discomforts of pregnancy such as indigestion, heartburn, nausea, low back ache, sciatica, pressure and burning sensation in groin area, constipation, headaches, leg discomfort including varicose veins, frequent urination, incontinence and urinary tract infections

  • Encourages the baby and uterus into optimal positioning to facilitate pregnancy, labour and birth (regular treatments can shorten the length of labour and birth, even for first time mums)

  • Tones, strengthens and balances the uterus preparing for labour and birth

  • Synchronizes mum and baby for birth

  • Supports mum and baby relationship by stimulating an increased release of oxytocin, fosters bonding and prepares the uterus and placenta for labour and birth

  • Increases circulation to mum and baby

  • Reduces tension and anxiety

  • Addresses emotional issues on a cellular level and sets healing in motion. In Primal Health, Michael Odent says that the baby’s immune system is developed in the womb and the hormonal reactions of the mother during pregnancy play a role in the health of the baby for the rest of his or her life.

Post natal healing

Having Mizan Therapy post birth is extremely beneficial in assisting the internal organs gently back to their optimum position and function. Depending on the birth, Mizan can usually be safely done before the 6-week check, afterwards in the case of caesarean section. Your Mizan Practitioner will guide you on this.

If the birth was by caesarean section, Mizan will not only guide the uterus back into position, but will also help in breaking down scar tissue and preventing the uterus adhering to other internal organs.

OUR PRACTITIONERS

 

Terri Stevens

I am an advanced Mizan practitioner (abdominal massage, womb healing) , complementary therapist, doula and yoga teacher. My passion is helping people to reconnect with themselves physically, emotionally and spiritually. Reconnecting with my womb has been part of my own journey. For the last few years I have been receiving teachings from shamanic healer curandero Rocio Alarcon from Ecuador on healing with the energy of the hummingbirds, women’s wellbeing ( including post natal care and closing bones), and limpia ceremonies (a powerful spiritual cleansing ceremony). I have had a daily meditation practice since 2003, and facilitate an online meditation group.

Encaderamiento/ Hipping ( Closing the Bones )This is a traditional healing ritual and massage for the post partum period . It can also be nurturing after a pregnancy loss, miscarriage or termination. In Ecuador mothers are given this massage within hours of the birth and usually at least six times in the first 40 days postpartum. I have been fortunate to have learned this technique from curandero Rocio Alarcon, an ethno botanist from Ecuador who was trained in shamanism traditional midwifery and herbalisn by her mother and grandmother. This ceremony combines abdominal massage, rocking and binding of the womans hips with a piece of cloth to encourage her energy to return to the centre. I have also been taught Limpia ceremony by Rocio a special spiritual cleansing with herbs/ plants. To book or for more details of these ceremonies please do get in touch.
