WELCOME TO THE
Balancing Birth Online Course
Advanced Bodywork Techniques for All Birth Professionals
Balancing Birth teaches advanced balance techniques in birth. You’ll start by assessing where baby is located and where they need more space, and then learn to provide focused treatment that helps the birth to progress with more ease and comfort.
Advanced Bodywork Techniques for All Birth Professionals
This unique course teaches advanced techniques to help balance the muscles, ligaments, and fascia during birth, and does not speak to positional changes. You’ll look at where the baby sits in 3 bony pelvic levels and 5 soft tissue pelvic levels, and how the baby is touching tissues at each level.
You’ll learn hands-on techniques to balance muscles, ligaments, and fascia in order to make more space for the baby through the birth-giver’s body, which will help decrease interventions, aid in birth progress, and ease the birth-giver’s experience.
Birthworkers will become bodyworkers, as you learn the wisdom of touch together with the most up-to-date insights into the physiology of birth.
