Medical Astrology and Herbal Consultation in Pregnancy

Consultations involve reading the natal chart, either as a stand-alone chart, or as a bespoke series of charts.

For medical astrology and herbal consultations these charts will be analysed alongside a health evaluation involving detailed questions and observations on life and health, past and present. If a herbal consultation only is wanted, to provide herbals for childbirth for example, the health evaluation only will be sought. However the benefit of combining the natal chart reading and herbalism together is the ability to forecast -not predict- your unique astrological patterns and how they relate to your health. This allows pre-empting of timed herbal preparations and other remediations into your personal health care routine.

Other useful information can be sought such as the best dates to avoid or choose a caesarean or relationship analysis, between family members or birth companions for example.

Herbs and other remedies can be used solely or alongside normal healthcare. Pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum ailments: [Edit]

‘Elizabeth is extremely professional and very caring. I had had a c-section previously due to breech and was keen to have a natural birth this time. Elizabeth supported me during me during the latter stages of pregnancy. We discovered that my baby was breech again, just like my first. Elizabeth carried out moxibustion treatments and by 35/36 weeks my baby was no longer breech. I was told that if I didn’t start labour naturally by 14 days over my due date I would be induced. Once again I was keen to avoid high levels of medical intervention and I wanted a natural birth. During this time Elizabeth supported me immensely. With Elizabeth’s help my daughter was born without medical induction. Elizabeth taught me coping techniques that I was able to use during labour, I always felt very relaxed during my consultations with her and positive about the birthing experience.

I believe pregnant women should be treated with respect. Giving birth is a highly personal experience and the memories stay with you for a lifetime. Elizabeth makes a real difference in her work, in helping women realise the choices that they have. I firmly believe that it was because of Elizabeth’s guidance and support both for myself and my husband that enabled me to have the natural birth that I wanted.’ S.S.

Elizabeth began her clinical experience in 1999 with special focus on the childbearing years and family health. She currently offers astrology readings, medical astrology and herbal consultations via Skype or in-person.
