Holistic midwife therapies for pregnancy and postpartum support
Natural support for your pregnancy journey
In addition to pregnancy, birthing, breastfeeding and postpartum support, Sage Midwifery offers complementary treatments and therapies to enhance your wellbeing during pregnancy and beyond. These gentle, in-home therapies are tailored to support your body’s natural processes and promote increased comfort for mother and baby.
Internal pelvic release work
Internal pelvic release work involves gentle and intentional techniques to relieve pain and discomfort held in the pelvic tissue. This type of internal bodywork can provide an emotional and physical release of tension and help your baby engage into your pelvis. Pelvic release work is recommended from 32 weeks onwards for birth preparation and postpartum healing.
Potential benefits of pelvic release work include:
• Relief from pelvic and lower back pain
• Enhanced pelvic floor function to support bladder and bowel function
• Emotional and physical release of tension
• Preparation for labour and childbirth
• Postpartum recovery
Internal pelvic release sessions are offered as an extension of Sam’s professional midwifery services and are conducted in your own home to ensure a caring, comfortable and supportive experience.
Acuneedling™
Acuneedling is a form of acupuncture specifically designed to holistically support pregnancy, labour, birth and the early postpartum period. This calming alternative therapy can be used to ease many common ailments of pregnancy, including nausea, back pain, anaemia and breech presentation. Performed by a registered and qualified midwife, Acuneedling can offer a sense of wellbeing and easing of symptoms from early pregnancy onwards.
Potential benefits of Acuneedling include:
• Relief from nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy
• Relief from back, hip and pelvic discomfort in later pregnancy
• Support for optimal fetal positioning
• Promote relaxation in preparation for labour
• Support postpartum recovery and wellbeing
During an Acuneedling session with Sam, you can expect a friendly, calm and professional approach in the comfort of your own home. Sam can also discuss and demonstrate effective acupressure points to use following Acuneedling for ongoing wellbeing and symptom support.
