Ruth Wood Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine over two thousand years old and uses very fine needles which are inserted into specific  points on the body. 

The needles stimulate the movement of energy called Qi, which encourages the body to heal.  It is a gentle and often relaxing therapy with a treatment plan designed for you as an individual.  Acupuncture is said to be holistic as it treats Body, Mind and Spirit in harmony .

Power of Pilates
Are you are looking for a stronger back, a flatter stomach, to target a specific injury, or simply to improve your overall body shape and flexibility – then Power of Pilates can help.

Regular Pilates classes will result in a longer, leaner, more flexible body and focuses on a mind / body connection to increase your body awareness. Through a series of strength and mobility exercises, Pilates builds strength from within, initiating every movement through engaging your deep abdominals and stabilising your torso. The exercises are progressive and safe, concentrating on slow, controlled, flowing movements.

Reading Hypnotherapy
Since the development of hypnosis techniques specifically for pregnant women, mothers all over the world have been learning to give birth in a state of deep relaxation. Using the power of her own mind, an expectant mother can learn to relax her body, so that her uterus can do the work for which it designed. The result is that her muscles work as they should and her baby is born more quickly and easily, in a state of relaxation, and with very little pain.

Afresh
From the moment of conception until the delivery of the baby, this specially adapted massage will help Mother and unborn child prepare emotionally and physically for the birth.

Many hormonal changes are taking place throughout this time and you will most probably be suffering from the changes affecting your body. Posture is especially important as your child continues to grow, your body naturally adjusts.  Maintaining good posture is essential to avoid unnecessary symptoms such as backache as well as helping with your own and unborn child's well-being.

The Midwifery Centre
We have developed a unique Midwifery Centre based in Hare Hatch near Twyford, Berkshire. This centre is the first of its kind, although we feel and hope that many more of these centres will develop and spread across the country. The centre offers a complete service of private enhanced midwifery care.

Our uniqueness is, that all the professionals working at the centre are qualified Midwives. We offer 1:1 appointments to group sessions covering many varied topics such as birth planning to Aquanatal classes. The aim is to enable an informed mind and healthy body during your pregnancy with the support network for when your baby has arrived.

As the Centre provides many therapies and classes we have classified them by stages however many of our treatments span all three such as Swedish Massage, so if you enjoyed your treatment in Preconception you can enjoy it again in Pregnancy and Early Days.

We have also put together a selection of Packages which may provide family and friends with an original gift or alternatively we offer Gift Vouchers which can be put towards whatever you choose.
