The key elements of the physical section of “The Jeyarani Way” Gentle Birth Method are:

NUTRITIONAL GUIDELINES

In order that you have an optimum sized baby for your pelvis size, it is important that you don’t overeat during pregnancy.  Moreover, the type of foods that you eat can affect the degree to which your pelvis is congested; which then has an impact on the ease of giving birth.  These nutritional guidelines have been developed with these factors in mind.

HERBS 

Herbs are an important part of the programme to help your body to give birth in a gentle manner.  These herbs help to regulate bowel function and eliminate excessive tissue fluids and toxins via the kidneys.  The herbs are:

• Herbal Tea
• Baladi Choornam drink (an Ayurvedic remedy)
• Dhanwantaram pills (we call them “baby pills” because they are so small – not because you give them to the baby!)

OILS

There are 2 types of oil that we recommend that you use:

• Pregnancy & Anti-stretch Mark Oil (Choice of the Ayurvedic or Aromatherapy blend)
• Perineal & Vaginal Oil, which you should use from 36 weeks.  (Dr Motha also recommends that mothers perform a special stretching technique in these last few weeks of pregnancy)

EXERCISE & YOGA

Exercise sessions are encouraged to stretch your whole spine, to open your pelvis and to get you fit ready for birthing.

The one-to-one treatments offered are:

REFLEXOLOGY

This specific type of treatment of the feet is offered throughout pregnancy (CAUTION is recommended before 12 weeks of pregnancy, see the link for more details).  Reflexology has been found to ease common symptoms of pregnancy and facilitate the smooth progress of labour.  It can also help mothers to give birth in a shorter time, which helps mothers to feel energetic after giving birth.

CREATIVE HEALING

Creative Healing is a specialised form of massage.  During pregnancy the treatments used concentrate on the back, pelvis, sacrum and sciatic areas.  We have found that these treatments help to relax the lower back and pelvis, which need to be highly mobile for gentle birth.  Treatments are also offered to improve cardiac and digestive function.

BOWEN THERAPY

A subtle body aligning technique, particularly useful for realigning the pelvis, which then helps the baby’s head to engage within the pelvis and drop down fully.

CRANIO-SACRAL THERAPY

A subtle hands-on treatment.  The practitioner tunes into the rhythm of the fluid that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and fine-tunes these body rhythms ready for childbirth.  Treatments aim to release physical restrictions and alleviate emotional problems.

A hands-on energy transmission, that provides physical, mental and emotional healing.  It can be received at any time during pregnancy.
