Ever since the last forum when John Wilks explained the role of the psoas muscles in Mother and baby during pregnancy, birth and afterwards I have been subtly watching women’s posture and wondering how their psoas’ are! His talk was fascinating and informative. John works in Dorset ,Somersetand London with Obstetricians ,Midwives ,Parents and Babies , for more information about him and Bowen Technique see www.cyma.org.uk
Joy Horner , Independent Midwife spoke about her work with breech births , the current trends nationally and gave a broader perspective on an issue which has become synonymous with concern over the past 12 years . To know more about the workshops Joy is running contact her at www.birthjoy.co.uk
Thank you to them both. They touched on aspects of trauma for both Mother and baby and this will be a future topic at the forum. We will be looking at the masculine face of birth and how Men process what they see.
We are pleased to announce another great forum this month, there will be tears and there will be laughter. There will be cake.
