Re: [ozmidwifery] Broken Hill MidWife

[Aviva Sheb'a]

Thank you, Pinky! My problem is I give too much and 
charge too little. When I got seriously into the writing back in '96 I wore 
myself to a frazzle doing that, Bowen, Kinesiology, Vocal Dance workshops and 
Mothering. The Mothering was suffering so I decided to do what I could. As I HAD 
to write, the earning went.
 
The money is sorely missed, though I wasn't charging that 
much, and so is the work. My own health has suffered through not assisting 
others too. 
 
Getting back into the birthing scene is bringing me back 
to the reality of being who I am. Now Leslie's independent, I only have Rosie to 
mother, I am able to put my mind to the healing work again. 
 
Another aspect is, renting houses. One unscrupulous 
house-owner after another. Five addresses since March '96. This place is far too 
small; it's a waste of time even going into the debacle.
 
Let's see what next year brings!
 
Thanks for the encouragement!
 
Love,
 
Aviva -- about to email off the new radio script to 
ABC!!

So Aviva,
 You could be RICH -my kinesiologist charges 
$80 plus GST for a one hour consult -more than my dentist!! Mind you I would 
much rather lie there having a gorgeous woman  caring for me in  
serene surroundings, than any dentist with his fingers in my mouth however 
gorgeous he was - it is not a serene experience - maybe I need kinesiology to 
dispel my dental phobia!!
 
 One of my best friends who also goes to the 
same kinesiologist and has had remarkable results with some long standing 
issues is going to have visit to "aquire a husband" - she seems to have a 
block there!! (her words - I have told her many women would be glad to give her 
their husbands!!)
.
Get a shingle for your door darling  and offer 
your services to the rich and desperate (sorry if I sound a bit mercenary but 
you have very valuable talents and I am sure wealthy clients are just as 
deserving of your help as everyone else).

  chucked the kinesiology out the window for a while. More recently, when I

  While nothing can beat a listening ear and some 
  encouragement  -and a muzzle around her MIL - any woman can be undermined 
  and traumatised by such patronising treatment (Cant we!!) - your GP 
  friend sounds lovely , I find kinesiology wonderful and very quick 
  to dispel physical pain due to emotional stress - It worked miracles for me 
  with a back injury that was related to a pain memory from a car accident - I 
  couldnt for the life of me relate this pain to any physical exertion - the 
  days i had the most severe upper body/ back pain I had "only" been driving 
  around. A session with a kinesiologist (in desperation) cured me immediately 
  -I had an immediate burst of energy and have had no trouble since in 18 
  months -I hadnt slept properly for 12 months -The kinesiologist explained that 
  due to my injuries every time i put on a car seatbelt it triggered this pain 
  memory - I had not told him about the car accident -I hadnt even connected 
  this -but also my fears about driving and riding as a passenger completely 
  vanished at this time too.
   
  Kinesiology works directly on the nervous 
  system, is painless and helps the body healitself - To address dyslexia as 
  well (But dont expect a miracle cure), try a kinesiologist who has NET 
  qualifications-I have seen a demonstration on helping to adjust the "gait" 
  reflex  -this reflex if still present can somehow affect literacy 
  functioning(like other reflexes, it is supposed to disappear in 
  infancy) .
   
   - I have a little booklet here with alist 
  of Australian practitionersand their various quals. Although kinesiology isnt 
  a miracle cure for dyslexia - my youngest was helped for trauma by 
  kinesiology but his dyslexia has been due to Erlins Syndrome ( www.erlins.com ), a light sensitivity which 
  makes visual processing almost impossible -the print recedes and  the 
  white background becomes dominant spilling over words like whiteout spilled 
  onto the page -words appear 3 dimensionally raising off the page/ blurry and 
  moving. He is now reading (at 11!!) with the aid of specially tinted lenses 
  which affect the light frequency.
   
  The best thing about kinesiology is that because 
  it works directly on the brain one visit will indicate whether there is any 
  benefit - you dont need weekly appointments. But do be prepared for "stuff" to 
  come up as healing takes place This can take a few hours or a few days but may 
  not happen at all.
   
  I hope you find the supportive midwife/ person to 
  talk with this woman - Rhea Dempsey in Melbourne is brilliant -she is a 
  childbirth educator/ birth atendant with a grad dip in counselling and 
  specialises in post birth trauma - (see wounded mothers on my website www.pinky-mychild.com ).

Dear

a GP. She had with her a young woman (24YRS from Broken Hill) who has been 
deeply traumatised by her last birth 10 months ago. She now suffers from 
chronic pain in her upper body and my friend believes it has a lot to do 
with her unresolved issues from the birth. She also has dyslexia quite badly

Jolly good idea, Mary. Bowen is brilliant for shifting emotional as well as 
physical, etc. which is how I became a Bowen practitioner. I've had a chat over 
the phone with the young woman. What a sweetie. I think we're on her way up. Is 
seeing someone for fibromyalgia.
 
All suggestions gratefully received.

Mary and Victoria,
 
While nothing can beat a listening ear and some 
encouragement  -and a muzzle around her MIL - any woman can be undermined 
and traumatised by such patronising treatment (Cant we!!) - your GP 
friend sounds lovely , I find kinesiology wonderful and very quick to 
dispel physical pain due to emotional stress - It worked miracles for me with a 
back injury that was related to a pain memory from a car accident - I couldnt 
for the life of me relate this pain to any physical exertion - the days i had 
the most severe upper body/ back pain I had "only" been driving around. A 
session with a kinesiologist (in desperation) cured me immediately -I had an 
immediate burst of energy and have had no trouble since in 18 months -I 
hadnt slept properly for 12 months -The kinesiologist explained that due to my 
injuries every time i put on a car seatbelt it triggered this pain memory - I 
had not told him about the car accident -I hadnt even connected this -but also 
my fears about driving and riding as a passenger completely vanished at this 
time too.
 
Kinesiology works directly on the nervous 
system, is painless and helps the body healitself - To address dyslexia as well 
(But dont expect a miracle cure), try a kinesiologist who has NET 
qualifications-I have seen a demonstration on helping to adjust the "gait" 
reflex  -this reflex if still present can somehow affect literacy 
functioning(like other reflexes, it is supposed to disappear in 
infancy) .
 
 - I have a little booklet here with alist of 
Australian practitionersand their various quals. Although kinesiology isnt a 
miracle cure for dyslexia - my youngest was helped for trauma by 
kinesiology but his dyslexia has been due to Erlins Syndrome ( www.erlins.com ), a light sensitivity which 
makes visual processing almost impossible -the print recedes and  the white 
background becomes dominant spilling over words like whiteout spilled onto the 
page -words appear 3 dimensionally raising off the page/ blurry and moving. He 
is now reading (at 11!!) with the aid of specially tinted lenses which affect 
the light frequency.
 
The best thing about kinesiology is that because it 
works directly on the brain one visit will indicate whether there is any benefit 
- you dont need weekly appointments. But do be prepared for "stuff" to come up 
as healing takes place This can take a few hours or a few days but may not 
happen at all.
 
I hope you find the supportive midwife/ person to 
talk with this woman - Rhea Dempsey in Melbourne is brilliant -she is a 
childbirth educator/ birth atendant with a grad dip in counselling and 
specialises in post birth trauma - (see wounded mothers on my website www.pinky-mychild.com ).
Would a phone call to Rhea be helpful?

  Hi, my thoughts flew instantly to The Bowen Method which is most often 
  used to heal  physical ailments but has a place in the treatment of 
  dyslexia and ADHD and emotional problems etc.  I am sure there is a 
  practitioner in your area.  Contact them and enquire.  best wishes,

Dear 
List,It's Tory Howell ( B-mid student in SA) and I have an urgent 
request for some help. I have just had a phone call from a girlfriend who is 
a GP. She had with her a young woman (24YRS from Broken Hill) who has been 
deeply traumatised by her last birth 10 months ago. She now suffers from 
chronic pain in her upper body and my friend believes it has a lot to do 
with her unresolved issues from the birth. She also has dyslexia quite badly 
and cannot read or write very well and as a result, the midwives and doctors 
in the hospital in broken Hill have basically said she is too "simple" to 
understand her condition and cannot manage it herself. She has a very 
overbearing mother-in-law who is a nurse that dictates what she thinks is 
good for this young girl, and as a result she is fast loosing the plot. She 
has a second child (about two I think) and all she really wants is to talk 
to someone about her birthing experience and get some kind of resolution and 
counselling. Is there anyone who can help? Please let me know and I will 
pass on any details to her. Emailing directly to this young mother is not 
really an option due to her dyslexia and she does really need to talk to
