Testimonials:


Acupressure for labour: "I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to you both for your advice and expertise. I know that my labour wouldn't have been as amazing as it was without having done yoga, the yoga for birth course and acupuncture/acupressure.

My determination to delay the induction date paid off - Lachlan finally made his move 6 hours before the time induction was scheduled. After about 4 or 5 hours of early morning mild contractions we came to the hospital - and I was already 6 cm dilated...couldn't believe it, Acupuncture had obviously helped things soften up :) things started moving but I felt totally in control, used a mix of yoga, active birth techniques and acupressure...to get through the rest of stage 1. Transition/2nd stage was certainly intense but I got through with only a few puffs of gas, otherwise it was all about the pressure points in my feet, yogic breathing, and I think I even dozed off in child's pose between contractions! Pushed Lachie out with only 2 stitches needed...again, a much better outcome than the first time. He only took 3 1/4 hours to be born from the time my waters were broken. 
Prue - my midwife was intrigued by my use of the combs! I seriously didn't let go of them from the time I got in the car to the time I had to push! She's going to get some to use for future patients!

Anyway this is a long THANK YOU but I am still on a high from having such a positive experience!"

Acupuncture for Induction:
"Two days prior to my due date I had my first acupuncture session with Prue  to help induce my labour naturally.  The following afternoon I had my second acupuncture session and I went into labour at 10pm that night. Following my arrival at the hospital at 1 am my son was born shortly after at 5 am on Christmas Eve. I achieved a drug free natural vaginal birth; a VBAC, which is what I had been working towards. I believe the acupuncture sessions helped to naturally bring on my labour and combined with my birth preparation helped me to achieve the birth I wanted. I would definitely recommend Prue's services to other expectant mothers."

Post Natal Herbal medicine:
 "I finished the herbs and just wanted to let you know they were fantastic. I cannot believe the difference they made to my energy levels in the first few weeks...I don't know how I did it without herbs before." ~ Josephine

IVF Support program:
"
My Patner and came to see Prue after 3 failed attempts at IVF. Prue recommened we had a break from anymore cycles and concentrate on our health and lifestyle. Over the 2 month break we had regular acupuncture sessions and both took herbal medicine, we felt at out best to start a fresh IVF cycle. The acupuncture was great to relieve the headaches and nausea i felt while taking the IVF medication and just to generally calm me down. We concieved on the first attempt and later gave birth to a healthy baby boy, i continued seeing Prue throughout my pregnancy and we were lucky enough to have her during our birth for support as well as her amazing acupressure techniques, we thank you Prue Everyday."
