10AM – 5PM daily
In this three-day course, offered for the first time in Vienna, Ohashi teaches through lecture and demonstration how to help your clients through three important phases of life: Conception, Pregnancy and Infant health.
Ohashi will teach each of these topics on specific days allowing students to have the option of attending one, two, or all three days.
Developed over 50 years of experience and teaching – including his books Natural Childbirth, The Eastern Way: A Healthy Pregnancy and Delivery Through Shiatsu and Touch for Love : Shiatsu for Your Baby – this course will enhance your treatment for clients looking to start a family.
The OHASHI Method® is an oriental medicine-based, physical method that works on the meridians and acupressure points (tsubos) of the body. The meridians and tsubos directly affect our inner organs to make them function better, even influence our psychological states, and alleviate aches and pains.
On Friday, the first day of the course, Ohashi will cover techniques to improve and alleviate female problems related to:
- pain caused by menstruation,
- missed menstruation cycles
- emotional aspects of menstruation
The day will continue by discussing male and female reproductive function and the meridians related to those functions and organs.
You’ll learn which exercises and techniques to suggest to your clients help their goal of conception. Moxibustion or moxa (burned mugwort) will be demonstrated by Ohashi so you can help your clients conceive. Finally, Ohashi will discuss which positions for intercourse you can suggest to clients who are trying to conceive.
If you have clients or friends who are trying to have a child, please bring them as Ohashi’s guests to this day of the course. Please coordinate their visit with the sponsor, Margarette Eller.
On Saturday, Ohashi will cover techniques and exercises for improving the experience of pregnancy for the woman: how you can decrease stress and fatigue for your pregnant clients and how to alleviate discomfort during pregnancy, such as morning sickness, lower backache, insomnia, and nausea. Ohashi will also discuss what happens during labor and how to facilitate an easier delivery, including a breech delivery. Ohashi also discusses ways to encourage the husband to become an “OHASHI Method® Pregnancy Husband Personal Coach”.
Ohashi asks students to bring a pregnant woman — either your client or friend — who is between 6 to 9 months pregnant as guests to this day of the course. Please coordinate their visit with the sponsor, Margarette Eller.
On Sunday, topics will include techniques to ease postpartum recovery of the mother, aspects of infant care, and why breastfeeding is important for the mother. Topics include how to increase milk production, and how to treat certain problems during breastfeeding, such as milk gland infections. Ohashi will teach you how to care for babies and encourage their body development through homologous, homo lateral and crosspattering movements. Also, tsubo, meridian, and exercise techniques you can use on an infant to promote their healthier development.
