Childbirth Essentials Description
We are experienced midwives who have worked closely with the Royal College of Midwives over a period of thirteen years while conducting research on a programme of massage for pain relief in labour. During this time we won an RCM award for putting the Massage Programme into practice. ‘Turning vision to reality’ Normalising childbirth
Childbirth Essentials is an organisation which focuses on researching specific massage techniques for relaxation in the last month of pregnancy, pain relief in labour and the initiation of maternal-infant attachment.
There are classes for couples from 36 weeks pregnancy to learn specific massage techniques linking in with breathing control and giving the partner an active role.
Courses are also available for midwives and health professionals promoting normality within their practice

... 2018 - More wonderful varied experiences in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China – Although I go and share the Evidenced Based Programme with the midwives in all these places I also learn so much from them – so it is a mutual sharing and enriching experience for me.
After my visit to Hong Kong and Taiwan I went to China.
2018 the 2 midwife translators that came to China with me did a great job and lots of sharing both in the classroom and out!
Thanks to all

Very sad. This man had a great impact on my practice as a midwife.
Inspiring research being done in Taiwan, including recent research into the effects of Father-Neonate Skin-to-Skin Contact on Attachment. Read the article, published by Er-Mei Chen, Meei-Ling Gau, Chieh-Yu Liu, and Tzu-Ying Lee: www.childbirthessentials.co.uk/…/70-eff ects-of-father-neona…
Wonderful experiences in Taiwan with lovely committed midwives making a difference. Of course Taiwan is also renowned for its excellent food which we sampled. Thanks to the midwives and the great outings!
As midwives, we are celebrating the International Day of the Midwife and it felt appropriate to share a few photos of my recent visit to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Meeting with lovely midwives wanting to make a difference for mother, baby, father and families.
