About
Join these 3 intuitive and skilled bodyworkers and educators to develop a deeper understanding of women’s bodies and how to help them with their pelvic health and wellbeing.
This workshop is an extraordinary blend of body knowledge, body awareness, bodywork, tender touch and light palpation skills - and their relevance to all phases of childbearing. |
The focus of the workshop will be mainly on the internal and external pelvis, the changes it is capable of, the stories it holds, the habits and conditions that affect it.
Our combined approach distils and creatively weaves complex body information into simple, highly effective, hands-on body skills and bodywork – both external and internal.
Collectively, these skills significantly support and improve pelvic health, and activate anatomical and physiological potential for pregnancy, labour, and post birth care - for both vaginal and surgical birth.
The specific bodywork skills we teach are based on the techniques and principles of Urogenital Osteopathy and Ortho-bionomy.
It is suitable for anyone with an interest in optimising birth and recovery, and willing to work with women’s bodies.
The first 4 days (Monday – Thursday) will be with Jenny Blyth & Fiona Hallinan of Birthwork.
You will be immersed in 4 days of fundamental birth and body knowledge, whilst learning practical hands-on skills that can be easily translated into any birth environment (hospital or home). The programme is in a specific flow that builds body and touch awareness from the ground up.
The skills can easily be shared with women you are supporting in pregnancy and birth, as well as applied to your own body for self-care. The knowledge and skills gained take nurturing self and others in your care to a new level. Our aim is to have you integrate and embody the skills and information so that you can feel confident in using them.
See the programme for details of each day.
This will be followed by 3 days (Friday – Sunday) with Natalie Lejeune.
This is a more anatomically detailed and in-depth training on specific urogenital techniques of osteopathy. The generous wealth of information and experience given and received in this workshop is nothing short of remarkable.
As in the previous 4 days, these 3 days with Natalie include both external and internal manipulations. It is essential for the integration of this knowledge to experiment and feel the effects of the manipulations in your own body. Everybody will be respected.
You will learn:
- the links between various parts of the body and the pelvic cavity and its content.
- how to evaluate and treat the organs in the pelvic cavity.
- how to help pregnant women experiencing sciatic, pubic pain or lower back issues.
- how to enhance a labour by working on arteries and ligaments.
- postpartum follow up care, and post-gynaecology surgical follow up care.
