From Sara...

I would definitely say that the acupressure worked for me. During transition the pressure on my shoulders was all that I wanted....I honestly felt a lessening of pain during the contraction when someone was doing that.

From Mary...

Thank you for the wonderful information you shared at your class on acupressure for labor and birth. I put my newly learned skills pertaining to the nausea points on the forarms to use the very next day during a birth. It worked very well when I did both arms at once as recommended. Thanks again Leah! And my client thanks you too!

From Bekah...

Leah's class was wonderful. She taught the how's and why's of acupressure points relevant to pregnancy and labor in an accessible and knowledgeable way. We had plenty of practice time and I am confident that I will be able to use these points in the future. Her handbook is a great resource for the differing purposes of the points and how to apply them.
