Natural home birth of baby Lucas

Warning: You are very likely to cry watching this video. I can safely say that this is one of most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Even if you don't speak the spoken language you will understand the message of love this video brings, hence, you are likely to cry!
Natural birth is beautiful, natural birth is safe. Natural birth doesn't need to be painful, nor stressful. Natural birth is love and joy. 
I was not involved in this particular birth, hence the share, but I have offered acupuncture to women like mamma Sabrina in this video. Every time I am asked to assist on a natural pain free birth I feel honoured and lucky to be chosen by the family to share most beautify and private moments of their lives. I am so lucky to be an acupuncturist!
My congratulations to the parents on the arrival of little baby Lucas, and the team of midwives and doulas and video and phothographer for their excellent work.

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!




Chinese New Year (the spring festival) marks the end of the winter season. It is a time to celebrate the start of new life, to let go of any resentments, start afresh, and wish peace and happiness to all.

2012 is the Year of the Dragon which begins on Monday 23rd January, and is traditionally celebrated for 15 days. There are 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac:

The Dragon is the sign of the emperor in China. It symbolises male and yang, wealth, good fortune, and power. People born in Dragon years are to be respected. They are brave, confident, and successful, but can tend towards working too hard. They can get stressed and suffer from tension headaches, and will rarely ask for help. Does this sound like you?

Why not celebrate the New Year by starting a new course of acupuncture at our clinic? Treat yourself and take a break!
Xin Nian Kuai Le  新年快, Gong Hei Fard Choy  恭喜发财, Xing Ni Ju Yi  新年如意
Happy New Year!
