Pressure point massage
Helping to start labor naturally
Inducing labor using pressure points is a natural and safe method.
Using specific pressure point techniques combined with a relaxing massage , the body and mind are stimulated to prepare for labor. This treatment helps activate natural processes, promotes relaxation, and can contribute to a relaxing start to labor. Safety and comfort are always paramount.
By stimulating specific pressure points, often derived from acupressure, nerve pathways and energy channels (meridians) connected to the uterus and the hormonal system are activated. This stimulation can promote blood flow in the pelvic area and support the release of certain hormones, such as oxytocin. Oxytocin is also the hormone that helps the uterus contract. In this way, the body can be gently and naturally encouraged to initiate labor. Oxytocin is also your "natural pain reliever": during the pressure point treatment, I will also discuss pressure points with you that can boost oxytocin release during labor.
After this treatment you will receive a document in which everything is repeated and explained, so that you can continue activating the pressure points at home and prepare for birth.

This treatment can be done from 38 weeks of pregnancy.
