Alison Robinson
Spring is traditionally the time of new birth and homeopathy is an effective treatment choice for healthy pregnancy, birth and postnatal recovery says Wokingham homeopath Alison Robinson RSHom. She hires out a kit of 18 homeopathic remedies that can help to calm anxieties, promote contractions and aid healing. They are safe, non-toxic and cause no side-effects but promote natural function and repair.
Alison recommends all new mothers take Arnica as soon as possible after delivery to help with bruising, and Pulsatilla to help rebalance weepiness and moodiness if the ‘baby blues’ set in.
Pregnancy Kit
The kit comes with instructions and a guide to symptoms and corresponding remedies. To hire the kit for a month costs £15 and to have an hour’s discussion and a treatment schedule costs £35.
Alison Robinson is a professionally trained and registered Homeopath based in Wokingham. She is passionate about encouraging natural health and vitality for everyone.

1. Pelvic floor
I tell women daily to work on their pelvic floor and remind them weekly. Why? It will shorten your labour, reduce your risk of tearing, aid healing after birth & help seal your abdominal muscles post birth. Your pelvic floor is a sling of muscle that supports all the internal organs. Imagine you are drawing up from your rectum towards your belly button like you are trying to not go to the toilet, do this as you exhale and relax when you inhale repeat at least 6 times and then try to hold this contraction whilst you inhale and exhale 6 times then relax.
