Natural Beginnings

Virginia is a herbalist, nutritionist, iridologist, reiki master and birth support doula with a special interest in preconception health care, pregnancy, birth, post-natal and children's conditions. Plus she does placenta encapsulation and pregnancy/birth/family photography.
She has a very personal interest in this area after using natural fertility methods to conceive her son (now 2 years old), second try. Virginia used the programme to conceive her 2nd pregnancy (due in October 2011), first try. Her son has always enjoyed perfect health which is a testament to the healthy conception, pregnancy and natural healthcare, and she is more than confident that her second child will enjoy the same benefits.

Your first consultation will involve a thorough investigation into your health concerns, medical history and diet, with the added benefit of iridology to assist in diagnosis.
A tailor-made health programme to suit your individual needs may include dietary and lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, nutritional supplements and/or flower essences to bring your body and emotions back into balance, allowing you to return to the natural healthy state you deserve!

*Virginia is also a doula (childbirth support) to assist you during labour and birth!
This means that she can provide continuous physical, emotional and informational support before, during and just after childbirth.
She can support you in labour at home, in the birth centre or labour ward by encouraging you with breathing techniques and different positions, negotiating with medical staff to fulfill the wishes for your birth plan, as well as attending to your other needs such as setting up your room, and making sure you are well nourished and hydrated.
This makes for a better birth experience with less stress, and allows your partner more time to support you!
