Kate Jordan Seminars: Bodywork For the Childbearing Year  Bodywork for the Childbearing Year® approaches the concerns of the pregnant, laboring, and postpartum woman with a comprehensive program of advanced massage techniques and specific pregnancy, labor, and postpartum support measures. Sessions taught take therapists far beyond general adaptations of massage for the pregnant body. Students learn to competently and confidently address the specific structural, physiological, and psychological discomforts of pregnancy.
This workshop presents the anatomy and physiology of pregnancy, labor, and birth in the context of those techniques that therapists can most effectively use to provide relief and support to their pregnant clients. Students learn to identify contraindications to pregnancy massage, as well as to recognize high-risk pregnancies. Participants are provided with intake forms for clients and release forms for health care providers and learn how to use them appropriately. Relevant research documenting the benefits of touch during the childbearing year is presented to prepare students to describe the benefits of pregnancy, labor, and post-partum massage to health care providers. Bodywork for the Childbearing Year®‚ provides an intensive hands-on learning experience. Instruction is 25% lively lecture and discussions and 75% demonstration and practice of techniques. One of the outstanding features of the program is an opportunity to work on a pregnant client in a practicum session during the course.
