Hello listers,
Yesterday I was talking to Maggie Banks about scheduling some more of her
wonderful Birthspirit Intensive workshops for 2006. We hope to take in
Adelaide and Brisbane as well as Sydney and Melbourne next year, given
their enormous popularity (still a few places left in the December
program: http://www.birthinternational.com/event/intensives2005/index.html
Anyway, she mentioned that she now has a program designed to teach midwives
how to manage breech births, that is in the process of being fully
credentialled through the NZ College of Midwifery. She is now touring NZ
offering this program so that midwives feel confident in facilitating this
kind of birth, if it happens.
Would there be enough interest in Australia for me to approach her to
present some of these workshops here? It would make a very good
alternative to the ALSO program, and is completely midwifery based. As far
as I know, it is a one day program too.
There has been quite a lot of discussion about breech births on the list
and the loss of skills as a result of the swing towards C/Sec. This might
be one way to help halt the slide.....
Please email me if you are interested. My email address is
