Snippets of supported continuity of care
Picture – 1986 – Myself with baby number three. (Saved from in utero toxoplasmotic i utero infection and brain destruction – we mamas can do anything . . .
She is now 39 years old and whilst not ‘normal’ – is a great master for me to do all I do now. YOU may wish to NOT follow what you are being groomed into . she would not be as she was, and is had I listened to ME, not others.. .
Here are a few stories my patients have sent to me which may enlighten and/or inspire you:

Positive Birth Stories from others
The innate ability of each woman to give birth guided by her body’s wisdom, with trusted attendants, in soft private spaces, has been largely taken over by the international billion dollar high-tech low-touch obstetrics industry. This ‘active management’ of childbirth alters the mix of hormones that evolution has provided to help ease mother and baby through birth. Traumatic popular culture images, non-factual historical references and urban horror stories of childbirth reinforce birth-fear causing the very muscles designed for childbirth to constrict and tense. The result? Widespread ‘complications’ and unnecessary interventions leaving mothers and babies traumatised and affected.
Why I wrote What Dads Can Do . .
How you can help yourself and those you love and support – any setting – get serious about nutrition and the mechanics of the pelvis.
I have designed online self paced courses with a vast detail in mind – as all I do works. . and has been extensively honed an d tested over the past nearly 50 years – not only in my own life, but in the myriad I touched my resources have let loose, the birth-workers, acupuncturists and others I have trained and mentored and the ones who accidentally found second or third hand my Stuck Liver QI and bum massages, the sacral moxa fan and the cupping cold out of navel/retrieving the Yang Qi with REAL: smokey moxa, and then attending to the malnutrition that is rife, especially in pregnancy . .
Let us make better babies, easy pregnancy and happy families, naturally!
