Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hi Erin; Have you studied the ayurvedic pulse assessment? She mentioned someone in North central California also even more skilled at it, she recommended to do the teaching. I'll let you know when I find their names. If you saw my office ... She said she had studied Ayurveda with Dr. Lad, I beilev,e, then her midwifery catches took place on the Mexico border, one of the get your midwifery clinicals quickly with lots of them in short order places (IE, lots of clients each day)! Those with the constitution to do it, grow quickly! She decided each day she would focus in the pulse on one thing - meconium, breech, etc. So each pregnant or postpartum mama that came through, she practiced her pulse skills on along with whatever the midwifery school required. This woman is quite young, hopefully we will hear from both of them before long! Martha > Martha, I'd love to know this woman you speak of.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Thanks Martha, I am still not sure of who this midwife is, but if the woman in Northern California is who I think it is, she is a dear friend of mine! Hopefully I'll be able to start putting some of these pieces together. It's very exciting!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I have not studied the pulse....I have been so busy with my midifery training over the last years! And, of course, most of that was from a western perspective albeit including western herbs, homeopathy, and tradtional homegrown empirical midifery knowledge. Midwifery on its own is such a huge undertaking, I applaud anyone who has also been able to develop pulse diagnosis skills. Perhaps one day I'll get there!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Speaking of accolades; such needed skills/mentoring for any community! >Midwifery on its own is such a huge undertaking As you are able to add the ayurvedic wisdom, not just pulse, which requires much other background to be able to do the ayurvedic three part/7 level/21 aspects (at least!) pulses, you will see another quantum leap! I myself am a young child at it, having focused on the postpartum ayurveda I was called into, and found that alone along with a good ayurvedic foundation, can serve so many so much. >I applaud anyone who has also been able to develop pulse diagnosis skills. Perhaps one day I'll get there! Warm Regards; Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
