Pre-requisite: Professional Bowenwork Practitioner. Purpose: to understand and discuss the changes a woman will experience throughout the childbearing year. We will discover how Bowenwork can relieve discomforts, instill confidence, and create a supporting relationship with the birthing mother and baby, both before and after the birth. You do not have to be a birth worker to positively impact the birthing experience in profound ways. Format: read class material and meet with fellow students and the instructor on the interactive online platform, Ruzuku. This format provides thought-provoking discussions relevant to the reading material, as well as the appropriate and safe application of Bowenwork for mother and baby. Bowenwork for Childbearing Part 1: The first part of the six-part course series will identify, examine and discuss discomforts commonly experienced during pre-conception and very early pregnancy. How to discuss Bowenwork and differentiate it from alternative modalities with clients and healthcare providers will be considered.
