Tailored workshops for professionals

Ideal for midwives, student midwives & doulas passionate about supporting physiological birth 

Looking to learn new ways to support women during labour and techniques to resolve foetal malposition? 

This workshop covers 5 popular biomechanics techniques, but more importantly teaches you the anatomy behind them, so you’ll understand: 

  • How they work,  

  • How to perform each technique safely 

  • Which technique to choose in different scenarios 

  • Contraindications 

It’s a practical, hands-on workshop with plenty of time to chat, share experiences and ask questions.  

  • “Loved the hands on practising element as I’m more of a visual/hands on learner”

  • “The workshop was really engaging and hands-on to help cement the teaching in our minds…”

  • “I loved the in depth knowledge of the ligaments and how they work… I can now support women in delivery suite with more confidence.”

  • “I’m very excited to put the techniques into practice!”

  • “Thank you so much. This workshop was really wonderful and affirming!”
