Opening Pathways for Midwifery and Prenatal Bodywork
Foreword by Gail Tully CPM
The Breech Release: Opening Pathways for Midwifery and Prenatal Bodywork is not just about breech pregnancy and fetal positioning, it is about reclamation. It is about revisioning our story as birthworkers and bodyworkers. We are reclaiming anatomy from multiple perspectives and applying new value systems not just to what we name in the body but to touch itself. We are revisioning midwifery and bodywork by returning to the basics of connection. We are recognizing that anatomy defines the space and informs the baby’s “inside information” in the womb. It is in this book where four pathways merge, and we continue to care for the birthgiver through the nervous system, bodywork, positioning, and employing gravity and movement to move towards new possibilities. There may be nothing to “fix” with breech-positioned babies, and in fact, it may be that breech can mentor us. As it is through breech that we can learn about all babies and learn about how we came to be where we are right now as a birthworker community.
A new addition to the Breech Release family coming soon!
