Moving Through Labor is a unique course dedicated to understanding pelvic bones, movement, and space, demystifying the idea of optimal positioning for the baby, and learning and practicing movements and techniques for minimizing positioning-related complications during labor. The skills developed in this workshop help expectant parents understand the baby's descent and rotation through the pelvis and the role movement plays in avoiding unnecessary interventions. We cover pelvic anatomy and how to create space with simple movements and positions, working with the baby to improve efficiency in birth, understanding baby positioning, and supportive labor positions for comfort and ease of baby's descent and rotation in both medicated and unmedicated births.
Our course supports you in developing the confidence, knowledge, and skills to have an empowering birth experience based on YOUR preferences and priorities. With our most comprehensive course offered, you'll have access to hours of content to encourage a healthy and empowered birth!
