What is acupressure?

Hello, I am Siân and I am an acupuncturist. Acupressure is the firm, constant application of pressure to specific points on the body. Having effectively used acupressure for pain relief in my own labour, and hearing the positive feed back from those I have taught, I feel passionate about passing this simple knowledge onto others. Not only did it aid my own positive experience in labour, it also helped my partner feel confident supporting me. You can read more about my experience. I am now teaching monthly workshops to help others learn how to use it.
