Bronwyn Whitlocke
Bronwyn Whitlocke grew up in the Melbourne suburbs of St Kilda and Elwood. Her life was influenced by her great grandmother's Jewish heritage and its philosophy. She has a daughter and two grandchildren. In the past she has worked as a laboratory technician, a nurse and a book keeper before beginning a Degree in Psychology.
After becoming disillusioned with the separation of mind and body in Western Medicine and Psychology, she looked for a way to integrate the two. After an introductory course in Zen Shiatsu she found the way to integrate mind and body to heal. She completed a Diploma in Shiatsu, went on to an apprenticeship in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and is now a registered acupuncturist. She also has Certificates in Aromatherapy, Counselling and updated certificates in Herbal Medicine, Certificate IV Workplace Training and Assessment.
She has taught Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), TCM Gynaecology, Equine Shiatsu and run several workshops including an Introduction to TCM; Menopause and TCM; Baby Shiatsu; Aromatherapy and TCM; and Pregnancy and Shiatsu. Her philosophy is to arm ourselves with knowledge to keep healthy and lessen our dependency on practitioners. Less is more.

Shiatsu Therapy for Pregnancy is an instructive manual for pregnant women, practitioners, partners, and birthing partners caring for pregnant women. The author provides practical solutions to a host of problems experienced during and after pregnancy. From the antenatal classes to the days and hours just preceding birth, non-intrusive remedies are provided. With early discharge policies now being the norm, women have to fend for themselves and deal with conditions such as arthralgia, lochiorrheoa, pain, fainting, urinary incontinence, constipation, and many more. This handbook describes the foundations for using shiatsu to alleviate the symptoms. For those suffering postnatal depression suggestions for lifestyle are a positive addition to assist women following delivery.
