An ancient practice worthy of all modern postpartum bodies.

This workshop is designed for birth & body workers who want to provide a gentler more nourishing postpartum journey for themselves, families, and people they serve.

Postpartum Belly Binding has had a reemergence in the western world. Unfortunately, many times it has been taken out of context and has resulted in much mis- information. This e-course takes a look at the historical and cultural significance and values from which this practice originate from. We will discuss how to incorporate these skills and practices to your own self care as well as with the clients you serve. Basic palpation skills are highly recommended . You may still take this class if you have little or no palpation skills but please be compassionate with yourself as these hands on skills can take years to absorb and perfect.

Are you ready for a live, in person, hands on workshop?! I took my Postpartum Belly Binding workshop online and I was thrilled to see birth-workers from all over the world taking my e-course!  But I must admit , I have dearly missed the intimacy of a live , up close and personal environment that only an in person workshop can offer.

  • How is this workshop different from the e-course?

    The main difference si that we will be learning in the flesh. We will still discuss the same curriculum as in the e-course. What will be most different is the hands on learning. The hands on learning can make all the difference for those of you who do not have a back round in body work or are new to palpation skills.
