You don’t need to do the whole course, however you will need to pay the $97 to get access to any of it. We are in negotiation with the Australian College of Midwives regarding how many points you would receive if you did a smaller section of the course. The course has been designed to build on top of each unit as more information about Chinese medicine is delivered in each one. So you would benefit the most by doing all of it but of course that’s up to you. We will let you know what happens in terms of part point allocations for completing part of the course.

Testimonials:

Chris Bartlett – Midwife – Victoria

“I said let’s try some acupressure. So we did and the baby descended and she had her baby in less than an hour”

I’ve been a midwife for over 30 years and I’ve watched more and more women end up with more and more intervention, more drugs, opt out for epidurals without even thinking about it and watched the forcep rates, vacuum rates and cesarian rates just go up and up. I’m always trying to get women to see another way. That’s why I wanted to do the Acubirth course.

After the course I felt enthusiastic but I also thought I might not be able to do it very well. However, I’ve noticed that it’s all in the practice of finding the points and using them. There are no side effects, it’s always worth trying because if it works for that woman, it’s like magic.

There was this woman who had been pushing for hours and her baby just wasn’t descending. I’d just taken over from someone else who’d had her in every position they could try but nothing was working. I said lets try some acupressure. So we did and the baby descended and she had her baby in less than an hour and they were looking at going to theatre at that point.

I believe you ladies really want what’s best for women and want to genuinely help them. That’s what midwifery is all about, passing on techniques that work, not holding information close to our chest. If we can help one more woman have a vaginal birth, then we’ve done our job.

 

THE COURSE INCLUDES FIVE STAGES…

1) AcuPregnancy. This stage of the course will:

2) AcuBirth. In this stage of the course you will:

3) AcuMum and AcuBaby. In this stage of the course you will:

4) AcuMidwife, this stage is all about you. In Chinese medicne there is a saying: ‘To nourish the child, you first need to nourish the mother’. In this case, your women are effectively your children and you, looking after them as their midwife, are their mother. So, it is incredibly important that you know how to take care of you. In this stage you will:

5) The final stage will be a huge opportunity for you to get any questions answered on any of the stages we covered – Case Studies and Revision. We will also revise some of the key aspects of the stages we have covered to make sure you are comfortable with the techniques and the information. You will go away feeling excited, re-viatlised and confident that you have new tools and tips to share with your mums that will change the face of their pregnancy, birth and motherhood experience.

Time of online lecture: 1/2hr
Time for case studies homework: nil
Face-to-face element at RHW going through revision of point location: 1hr

Throughout the course, you will be able to get your questions answered on our private Facebook group created by Rebecca & Naomi. We do this to help facilitate discussion and learning. It works beautifully. We understand some people don’t want to have an FB account so this means they can email their homework to Rebecca. We would encourage use of the group over this however, as you get to learn from each other. We have used other platforms in the past as not everyone likes to be part of FB but those platforms have died on us twice and it’s an admin headache to change everything when they tell you it’s not going to exist anymore! So now we stick with FB as we know they’re going to stick around – for better or worse!

We also ask you to sign a consent form so that we may share the learning easily and efficiently with other midwives. When midwives submit stories to us in the private group they always change names of the women in their care. That’s standard practice. Privacy is important to us. If someone doesn’t want to have their stories shared and has an objection… simply don’t be part of FB and send your homework to Rebecca and we won’t use those stories for sharing.

Sylvia Jenkin – Midwife – Perth Western Australia

“She could feel the baby moving whilst I was doing acupressure. Within two hours her baby’s head was in the middle of her pelvis”

I would like to share with you one of my first experiences since completing the Ancient Secrets Acubirth Course. I met this beautiful lady during a night shift where she presented in established labour. Her first baby was born via caesarean as the baby was mal-positioned and “too big” for her petite size.

This time she desperately wanted to give birth naturally. When she came to hospital she already has been contracting at home for many hours. On arrival to hospital, her baby’s head wasn’t engaged in her pelvis, in fact it was very high and the chances of coming down were low.

I suggested we use acupressure and she was keen. I used SP6, BL 60, GB 21, BL 67 and LI 4 on a regular basis. She could feel the baby moving whilst I was doing acupressure. Within two hours her baby’s head was in the middle of her pelvis. After another two and a half hours, her baby was born naturally. We were totally thrilled, especially because this baby was bigger than her first born!

“I find that working antenatally a lot of women have pelvic discomfort or swelling, back pain etc and I find that the acupressure points a very useful tool to educate women, and it doesn’t take very long so I teach them then get them to go home and practice. So I’m finding them really good.”

– Helen (Midwife)

” Many thanks for your wonderful Acubirth workshop. I have been singing your praises ever since returning to Parkes.

My first night at work after your workshop, I had the most wonderful young woman who responded beautifully to the acupressure that I tried. I work in a small rural hospital, with an enrolled Nurse to help. I had your workshop book out on our desk. My Nurse kept going out to see what points I was using. As our mother responded very well, my nurse was really amazed.

Hopefully some of our other midwives will see themselves going to Sydney to do this workshop. Thank you again for an excellent, professional workshop.”
