When I go to a birth, I don’t just bring my “doula bag.” I also bring my “acu bag.”
This includes:
*ESSENTIAL OILS to help with relaxation, energy, progression, nausea
*ACUPUNCTURE SUPPLIES to treat so many things that could come up during a labor e.g slow dilation, irregular contractions, anxiety, nausea, pain, poor positioning.
(I often utilize acupressure for my doula clients who want to go unmedicated but then utilize acupuncture postpartum from hormone balance, anxiety, milk supply, pain, digestive imbalance.)
*A STIM MACHINE to make the treatment even stronger
*TOPICALS to help ease discomfort & tension- often a nice distraction
*MOXIBUSTION SUPPLIES to help with conditions like fatigue (and recovery postpartum)
*CUPPING + GUA SHA SUPPLIES I don’t utilize these as much during labor, but most of my postpartum clients LOVE work on their neck & back after the increased amount of time sitting, holding their new baby,, and figuring out feeding.
If you’ve ever been curious about what additional items I bring to a birth, this one’s for you.
Is there anything that you’d like to learn more about?
I’m actually putting a class together for midwives, doulas, and couples.
If you’d like to attend, comment below, and I’ll tell you the details first!
