Stephen J Ellis
Acupuncture is especially effective in relieving pain in the exterior of the body, i.e. at muscle and nerve level.

Chinese Medicine supposes that pain is a reflection that the body's energy is trapped by a disease process. You will understand this blocked energy as ‘muscle tension' or a ‘trapped nerve'.

Acupuncture works by needling selected points near to the pain and choosing other points which are known to move and disperse the blocked energy, therefore easing the pain.

Pregnancy Yoga classes are open to all pregnant 'Mums' after their 14th week of pregnancy. They will not only help prepare your body for its journey towards labour, but are a fun way of meeting other mums in your area.

Enjoy Birth
HypnoBirthing® is as much a philosophy as it is a technique. It is a rewarding, relaxing, stress-free method of birthing that is based on the belief that all babies should come into the world in an atmosphere of quiet, calm and joy.

When a mother is prepared for birthing physically, mentally and spiritually, she can experience that sort of joy, birthing her baby in an easier, more comfortable and often even pain free way.

Through a thorough program of deep relaxation, self-hypnosis and education, HypnoBirthing® returns to a woman the natural art of birthing in a way that allows her to use her birthing instincts and to birth her baby in safety and with ease.

Suffolk Independent Midwives
We aim to provide a continuity of care throughout the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal periods of your pregnancy. We believe that the relationship between the mother and her midwife, at this important time, is a fundamental part of good midwifery in todays society.

It is important to us that every mother should take an active role in her pregnancy and birth, and should be confident enough to make decisions based on informed-choice utilising the experience and knowledge of the private midwife.

OSTEOPATHS

The Osteopathic Consultancy
Osteopathy recognises the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on the body's skeleton and joint function along with the underlying muscles, soft tissue and internal organs.

Osteopaths consider each person as an individual. Using gentle stretching and mobilising techniques as well as manipulating joints, an osteopath works with the body to create the perfect conditions to facilitate the healing process.

Treatment usually consists of a combination of soft-tissue releasing techniques, and some specific adjustments affecting joints and soft-tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments). Advice can also be given on self-help treatments.
