چکیده
Shiatsu is one of only a few complementary therapies featured on the National Childbirth Trust’s DVD given to all pregnant women in the UK. The Shiatsu Society was one of only 13 organisations that sponsored the DVD. We produced a short advertisement which appears on the DVD in between the documentary-style footage about how parents can prepare for the birth of their baby. The film combines information and real life stories from real women, including top TV presenter and mother of three, Davina McCall. The ‘Happy Birth Day’ DVD is designed to show how women and their partners can help themselves to have the best birth possible and is stocked in all GP surgeries, hospitals, anti-natal clinics etc in the UK.
