We offer add on services to our breech sessions, clients can add on a moxa session or a placeholder session. Placeholder is part of the bodywork session, done on the slant board and floor cushions, that allows us to help release stuck breech presentations and help give the baby more space. We do not use force or perform ECVs. We can do release work to support your ECV.
Moxa is an herbal stick (think large incense) that creates ease in the sacral restrictions and by working on specific acupressure points to increase fetal movement. We both give clients a full moxa session and send you home with moxa for at home work. If you are already seeing an acupuncturist you probably do not need this addition.
Please book a Breech Balancing session first. Breech release sessions are only for follow up sessions. We do also offer virtual support sessions. You are welcome to email us at bostonhypnobirth@gmail.com with additional questions or if you are past 36 weeks and need a breech session more urgently and the online calendar does not have more immediate availability. Please also contact us if you cannot afford our rates, we do have some equity rates available.
