Acupuncture travels

This past September, I was honored to go on an amazing trip to Guatemala City to share my knowledge of obstetrical acupuncture care.

The trip was organized as a collaboration between the Global Acupuncture Project (GAP) and the Obstetrical Acupuncture Association (OBAA).

We spent 2 weeks at the Intuición Materna helping to train birthworkers (1 doula, 1 lactation consultant, & 9 professional midwives) from Guatemala & El Salvador in the application of acupuncture protocols for supporting pregnant and birthing people.

I took the lead in teaching the postpartum module — a subspecialty that I’m especially passionate about.

I was so inspired by the kind, compassionate, and fun group of women deepening their knowledge of obstetrical care for the women in their community.
