Acubirth and Red Tent Health Centre have been supporting the community since 2009. We have always and will continue to support the integration of both eastern and western medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine is rooted in an holistic approach to medicine that dates back over 2000 years. It’s a highly complex system that takes many years to understand and practice well. In the West, it’s mainly used for chronic conditions and to help women prepare for birth.
Are you tired of watching mothers when they begin a cascade of medical intervention that doesn’t seem to end?
Are you frustrated by their lack of choice? Does it sadden you to see that many women are misinformed, are fearful and give away their inner power and connection to their body?
Would you like to learn natural ways to empower mothers, to help them get back into their body, find their inner power and help them to have the birth they are capable of?
Through Acubirth (presented by Red Tent Health Centre), you’ll discover Eastern remedies to support mothers through a beautiful birth, a pleasurable pregnancy and a nourishing postnatal period.
You’ll learn natural and effective pregnancy acupressure techniques to help women cope with fear and anxiety in the lead up to labour, help them to manage pain naturally no matter how they entered the birth process, encourage a posterior baby to get into the ultimate position for birth and more.
We’re dedicated to helping you broaden your skills so you can help more women achieve their dreams of a natural pregnancy and birth. Many women say that ideally this would be their wish, however sadly many give away control long before their birth even starts.
Acubirth helps women get grounded, feel into their body instead of wanting to escape. It helps connect the midwife/doula/partner/husband with their birthing lady, and gives women back a sense of control.
At Acubirth, we are passionate about sharing the skills that we have seen work with so many of our clients. We believe that all women should have greater choice and more access to information that will make their pregnancy-birth-motherhood transition smoother, simpler and a more joyous experience. As midwives and doulas, you are on the front line, which is why we are so passionate about helping you.
We run a certified education program called Acubirth for Midwives. We are also the founders and directors of the Red Tent Health Centre for Women and their Families in Bondi Junction & Erskineville in Sydney. We’re trained in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and have done post-graduate study in obstetric acupuncture, Classical acupuncture, Japanese acupuncture and paediatric oriental medicine.
Together we have over 40 years experience and have thousands of clients with happy stories of a smoother pregnancy and more joyous birth.
