An opportunity for someone who is currently 14 - 30 weeks pregnant.

On Sunday 6th March I am teaching a day on Shiatsu in pregnancy, at Bodywise Natural Health centre, central Manchester. I would like to do a demonstration shiatsu treatment on someone who is pregnant - it would be around 30 minutes of shiatsu, in front of a group of around 15 students. This is part of the Shiatsu College Manchester training programme for shiatsu practitioners.

If you are interested, let me know!

Totally late to the party congratulating this lovely Mama. I worked with Amy over the Summer, at first for previous birth trauma and then for private hypnobirthing support.

She was very patient with me after I had to take time out after fracturing my knee in September and is an all round fab human being. I'm so glad you sought me out, but more glad that you had an experience which was empowering and uplifting.

I'm fully booked now for one-to-one private hypnobirthing sessions until mid-March, but if you are due May on wards and want to find out more get in touch hello@nataliequreshi.com.

"I’d had stop/start surges for few days but they picked up on Saturday afternoon while I was bouncing on my ball watching Frozen 2 with Freddie 😆My parents came and picked Fred up, then Morg and I just hunkered on down and spent most of it at home. Lit the log burner, watched some funny films with pizza and tasty food, and got essential oils going in diffuser. I had a bath then we went for a late night walk in local flower garden under a full moon. We went to bed and I woke in early hours thinking waters had broken (was just hind waters) Birth centre was closed unfortunately and this was hardest bit of not going “to plan”, so used hypnobirthing tools to get back in the game which were really effective.

Then got to our room on labour ward and made it our own with dim lights, flameless candles, speaker etc Was able to use shower lots which helped with lower back pain and just laboured through.

Midwives were amazing despite clearly being stretched, always giving us time to make decisions and we felt in control the whole time. I had a slight bleed after delivering placenta again but nothing compared to with Fred, so they advised us to stay overnight based on history.

Baby Hugo arrived at 11.11 am weighing 9lb 12 oz.

Then we did skin to skin for hours after with him on the b**b. Was lush!"
