So many births these days involve long labors, failure to progress, and cesarean births. It doesn't have to be this way! Transform your birth practice in as little as 7 hours. Eliminate exhaustion, discouragement and burnout. Delight your clients and make a real difference in birth outcomes, and birth culture. 

The Dancing For Birth™ Childbirth Method works in harmony with our human physiological design for birth, to awaken our inherent birth instincts. It reclaims birth as a powerful, transformative experience. Using this birth method and our principles of movement, gravity and instinct, birthing individuals around the world are no longer needing epidurals or experiencing 'failure to progress' and unnecessary cesareans. Instead they are literally dancing their babies out in short, euphoric births.

In this Dancing For Birth™ Professional Training you'll learn the Dancing For Birth™ Childbirth Method and our proven original techniques including 'The Larson Technique' to correct fetal malpositions and flip breech babies, 'The MM Maneuver' to resolve shoulder dystocia', and 'Powerful Woman' to double the pelvic outlet from 10cm to 20cm or more. You can use these techniques in any birth setting—hospital, birth center, and home birth.

 

What if I have two left feet? That's ok! You don't need any prior dance experience. The movements are simple and anyone can do them. You will feel right at home among plenty of others who also wouldn't describe themselves as 'dancers'.
