BirthPoints® mother and newborn after normal birth

BirthPoints®

Online courses and workshops for midwives and birth professionals

  • Evidence-based and safe professional training in acupressure and dry needling during pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatal.

  • Transform your maternity care with BirthPoints protocols for women birthing in the hospital or in the home.

  • Learn BirthPoints protocols to integrate into your antenatal care, including pelvic girdle pain, sciatic nerve pain, anxiety and depression, nausea, reflux, and most importantly, how to turn a breech, malpositioned or posterior baby with myofascial trigger points combined with acupoints.

  • The intrapartum BirthPoints protocols have been developed, tested and taught to midwives in birth units around Australia. Learn how to induce and augment labour by opening the pelvis with biomechanics and supporting normal physiology with acupoints.

  • Learn 'The Taylor Technique', a method developed in a tertiary hospital birth unit by Kathryn Taylor to facilitate normal vaginal birth and reduce the incidence of episiotomy.

  • Nurture women and babies with BirthPoints protocols to treat low milk supply and postnatal depression.

Learn BirthPoints®

Expand your clinical skills and transform birth outcomes with a foundation course in perinatal acupoint location and acupressure techniques; then follow with a face-to-face workshop in dry needling.

What midwives say

The technique Kathryn taught me to turn an OP baby I use all the time on women in labour, and they feel their back pain just go.
