Women's Services
We provide the following therapy and support services for Women's Health:
Cancer Care: Many
HealthTouch Practitioners are specially trained to support women who
are dealing with cancer in their lives. We offer specific massage
techniques for people with bone metastasis and vital organ
involvement, and modifications for clients undergoing surgery,
radiation therapy, or chemotherapy. Energy therapies such as Reiki, Polarity Therapy, Acupressure, Healing Touch and Acupuncture can aid in reducing stress and pain and bringing greater balance and ease. These therapies along with coaching, other talk therapies and healing through art can
help with lifestyle changes and healing on all levels, including finding, facing and embracing root causes, connecting with inner resources and bringing greater ease and peace to transitions. |
Childbirth:
Acupuncture has been successfully used for morning sickness and labor induction. During labor, acupuncture can be administrated to reduce pain and promote relaxation. Moxibustion, stimulating acupuncture points with heat, has been used for centuries to encourage a breech fetus to turn. For greatest success, this method is used between weeks 32 and 35. |
Childbirth Classes:
An unbiased, evidenced based course is lead by a certified educator. Learn to recognize and flow with each stage of labor. Become informed of your options, rights and responsibilities, and many alternatives whether you are choosing to birth at home, in a birthing center, or in the hospital. This highly informative course also offers the wisdom of past generations of birthing women who knew many things within their control to increase the likelihood of a smooth birth. Offered in a one intensive weekend format for your convenience. |
Doula Services:
A Certified Doula is a woman who is trained and experienced in assisting the expectant couple through labor and birth. Doulas provide continuous reassurance and emotional support, provide physical comfort measures such as massage, visualizations, and positioning advice, and provide informational support on the course of their labor and their options. As employees of the expectant couple, instead of the hospital, doulas are free to give complete and unbiased informational support. Certified doulas do not make decisions for their clients nor project their values and goals onto the laboring woman. Doulas do not perform medical tasks such as vaginal exams or fetal heart rate monitoring. Several studies have shown the presence of doulas reduce intervention and cesarean rates. |
Fertility:
Acupunture points and specific individual Chinese herbal formulas address menstrual and/or reproductive conditions that prevent natural conception. Together, these two modalities balance the physical, mental, and emotional body. Other energy healing modalities such as Polarity Therapy and Reiki offer
energetic clearing and healing to prepare for conception and pregnancy: clearing energetic fields, chakra balancing, establishing receptivity in body, mind and feelings, healing trauma from past sexual abuse, miscarriage, abortion and previous pregnancies prepares one to welcome a new life.
