Our commitment is to provide a training that works specifically to treat the cause of the symptoms, in a natural holistic way. Often during pregnancy it is explained that symptoms are a natural experience to endure and many are unable to be treated with orthodox medicines. With the support of Pregnancy Zenthai, we find natural ways to support blood and chi, soothe the peaks of discomforts and optimise mums' health, and the babies' playground for growing.
