Spring 2018 in Oslo

​

The workshop is open for anyone interested (pregnant women, their partners etc), though it is aimed at childbirth educators, doulas, midwives, doctors and body workers (chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapist etc.) that are working with pregnant women and birth.

 

 

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Marcello Windolph is a Perceptual Pedagogue and Fasciatherapist based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In this seminar Marcello will teach some of the essential concepts and techniques which earned the interest of the Spinning Babies method in Minneapolis/USA during the 2016 Spinning Babies Confluence. With these techniques Marcello contributes to blend birthwork and bodywork into a new stream of birth awareness. 

The participants will learn about Fascia, tissue tonicity and the manual and perceptual techniques to be able to apply and develop their hands-on skills. For the techniques offered at the workshop, Marcello has permission from Gail Tully and Spinning Babies to include Spinning Babies in his presentation. Marcello's interest is to help deepen the understanding and pragmatic skills of the birthworker during pregnancy and labor. The participants will get
much hands-on experience through the weekend.

The workshop opens a doorway for the participant to develop a technique that will touch and support the accompanied mother on a physical, emotional and psychological level. The release and harmonisation in the depth of the matter (Fascia) shows directly in the whole being. This can allow mother to create a deep bond to herself and find release and adaptation, which may also have a significant effect on fetal positioning, pain experience and the progress of labor.

The first half of the days will be dedicated to lectures and exercises, while the second half of the days will be more guided practical application.
