The association of french acupuncturist midwives (AFSFA) is quite young, she just celebrated her 10
years, and really active.
It aims to:
• meet midwives practicing acupuncture,
• promote acupuncture in the midwifery skills area : gynecology and obstetrics with a newborn baby
approach as well
• participate in acupuncture research by developing communication and referencing tools
• participate in continuing medical training and teaching of acupuncture.
Thus AFSFA organizes an annual seminar welcoming about 200 to 250 midwives on average, we
settle each year in a different city of France to encourage the midwives of the sector to come to see
us. We focus the presentations on very practical topics.
And AFSFA is also referenced as a continuing medical training
We are committed to developing useful tools for the daily acupuncture exercise so we have
established:
• an information sheet on acupuncture indications for patients and a poster.
• an acupuncture pocket memento for the use of the midwife
• An acupressure card to use in preparation lessons for birthlabor
In full swing, and with a lot of project in mind, we hope you enjoy meeting us to talk about our work
and yours.
See you soon
Sophie NIVAULT
Président of AFSFA
