Well after all the planning for months on end to get the conference off the ground and all the work to fill the slot when Dr Marilyn Glenville let us down just 9 days before hand.
The day came and surpassed our expectations.
Denise Tiran gave an excellent presentation and i'm sure the midwives there would have been pleased to hear what this vastly experienced midwife and complementary therapist practitioner had to say.
Denise speaks from a place of knowing and her belief in and use of both Reflexology and Aromatherapy in midwifery is refreshing. Of course the risks and benefits need to be recognised and Denise left all delegates with knowledge of safe practice.
Lesley Clothier, gave us a rare opportunity to see cranio-sacral work in action. This powerful treatment lets the body work to correct problems that hamper the flow of cerebral spinal fluid and allow the bones of the skull to make the smallest of movements, that trigger the bones to find their proper place.
This is a very simplified explanation for a complex move in the body, but one that can turn many problems around, from hormonal problems, to teeth problems, and structural difficulties.
It is probably the best thing you can do for a new born baby, as this is very often where the problems set in, especially when births have been traumatic at worst, or difficult at best.
The Healthy Breast programme launch from David Stevens was fascinating. It all makes perfect sense and as he said, he couldn't say it's 100% successful, but in all the women he has treated, he hasn't had a failure yet!
The Healthy breast website will be up and running by May, along with a downloadable healthy breast programme booklet or audioversion.
The bottom line being, that healthy breasts, can't be unhealthy breasts!
David also presented CKT, on which there are many references on my blog. CKT to help in childbirth, pre and post. The limits of this therapy are endless. It is a matter of seeing and believing.
Janey Lee Grace, (imperfectlynatural.com and radio 2 presenter, gave a good all round view of just what we are surrounded by everyday that is having a detrimental effect on our health. Janey talked on everything from deodorants, soap nuts to the wonders of bicarb! and the dangers of household airfreshners
She gave us a lot of food for thought and although she recognised that she has no qualifications in therapies, she comes from a concerned mum, and citizens point of view, of just what we can all be doing differently that will probably help our overall well being!
So my colleague and cohort in this, launched the Cambridge Institute of Complementary Health in style and are already planning the next event
