Teaching Acupressure for Pain Relief in Labour

In the past 5 years Debra has run acupressure workshops for midwives and acupuncturists in Australia, Canada, Dublin, Holland, Denmark, Norway, the US and the UK. This workshop will focus on methods of teaching acupressure to encourage acupuncturists to run their own workshops for couples and midwives. Those attending will have access to an acupressure teaching PowerPoint that they are welcome to use and adapt.

She began specifically developing and teaching acupuncture courses to midwives in 1997.
