Updates 🌞

You haven't heard from me for a while!
I've enjoyed my work and personal life without really using Instagram actively for the best part of the year now. I realised my work doesn't require me to be active on here and I'm quite happy about that.
Going forward I will still use this account for updates about my work when I feel like it, and for clients to look me up.
I also have a private personal account .drift for friends and family.

I have spontaneously-ish relocated to London this year. I sort of did a "french exit" and left fairly quietly. I am still getting used to leaving what I've built over the last 5 years in Sussex and Forest Row, whilst also loving the novelty of the city (and always looking for the green spots).

I am taking birth client bookings from due dates of October onwards, anywhere in a reasonable travel radius. Osteopathy home visits only for now, and postnatal bodywork for you and your little one(s).

How have you been?🌼

Fourth Trimester Osteopathy & Bodywork for you and your baby.

Why bodywork?

💛 For you
Your body has gone through a lot. Conception can be a whole journey in itself, and during pregnancy your body goes through a lot of changes in just 9 months. Labour and birth are a huge endeavor, physically, mentally, spiritually… and then your body needs to adapt again, to not being pregnant anymore, through big hormonal changes, and life with a newborn.
And despite having gone through all this, most often the focus is solely on baby.
Your wellbeing is hugely important for your baby and family.

In my postpartum bodywork I help your body adapt, recover and heal from pregnancy and birth. My intention is to give deep nurturing & nourishment to you, so you can keep nurturing & nourishing your precious baby. And to give deep respect and acknowledgement to you and your body and all it does, and all you are.

💛For your baby
Pregnancy and birth aren’t generally stress-free, and your baby may need a little bit of support to adapt to life outside the womb, or stages of development.

If you want to know more about how osteopathy might help you and/or your baby please get in touch.

You can DM me or WhatsApp me on 07982720245.

I offer sessions at the Anderida Practice in Forest Row, and home visits in surrounding areas in request.

We had a great first 5 weeks of our new Breastfeeding drop-in in Forest Row! 🌿🤱
It’s been so lovely to get to know so many of you and your little ones, from tiny newborn to toddler.
You’re all incredible, whether you’re in the middle of a struggle or at the other end of one, or are having a beautiful time with your little one.💛
Thanks for co-creating the community space, whether you’ve come for support or to spend some time (and eat biscuits, of course!😋🍪☕).

We are having a break for Easter school holidays now, and will be back as normal on Monday the 24th of April. In the meantime, if you are struggling and need breastfeeding support, you can still reach out to us!

Hope you have lots of joyful moments this Easter Break!🐣

NEW! Free In-Person Breastfeeding Support in Forest Row. Starting 27th of February.

Noa and I are excited to be offering a regular space where new mums and parents can come together and receive free support with breastfeeding.

You're also welcome to bring up other topics or challenges you might encounter around pregnancy, birth, babies and parenting. Come talk to us and other parents, or simply be in a space with others, have a cup of tea, and feed your baby. Siblings welcome.

Breastfeeding support could come in many different forms, for example observing a feed and offering suggestions to help improve a shallow or painful latch, signpost to other breastfeeding-related services if appropriate, or provide a listening ear and emotional support whilst things are hard.

Noa and I are both doulas, with breastfeeding peer supporter and infant feeding coach qualifications. I also works with babies as a (cranial) osteopath.
If you have any questions please get in touch!

Please share with anyone you think could benefit from this 💗

Anna Ziskoven Osteopathy & Doula Services is now on WhatsApp.

Birth Time the documentary is now screening in the UK and I'm curious to see it. It explores very real and very important topics and issues around maternity care and childbirth.

"A film exploring what it would take for women to emerge from their births feeling innately powerful, physically well AND emotionally safe."

🌹To all the women and birthing people who have not emerged from their births in the above way - I see you and hear you, and your families too.

🌹To all the midwives and birth workers who's hearts are bleeding from what they experience(d) and witness(ed) in this system - I see you and hear you..

Is home birth safe?

A systematic review and meta-analysis looked at 14 studies including data from around 500,000 intended home births. The authors found that, “The risk of perinatal or neonatal mortality was not different when birth was intended at home or in hospital.”

Is home birth safe? My blog post today offers an overview of the most recent studies in this area, freshly updated to include 2019 research. And if you haven't got time to read it just yet, let me give you the answer in one syllable: yes :-)
