10 year experience almost exclusively in perinatal and childbirth support
Dip. Ac, Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator
Rebecca has assisted over 80 births as an acupuncturist and a doula in the last 10 years in Quebec, Canada, as well as working a private practice mostly focused on third trimester support and childbirth preparation. Her mission is to help as many people have the safe and empowering birth experience they deserve – and in order to achieve that, she also teaches other health practitioners how to take better care of their clients during the pivotal perinatal period. Her treatment philosophies are: "details are very important", "empower the sh*t out of everyone", "make your patients feel like magical unicorns", and ''be humble, you are not the expert in the room''
(because, unfortunately, the majority of breech babies are heading toward a planned cesarean section)
Many babies find themselves “stuck” with their bottom down... for these babies, we demand excellence from ourselves in order to free up as much space as possible and allow them to have the birth they want 🤎
As a bonus, you'll receive pre-assembled handouts that you can gift with your clients (to cover their options with a breech baby, to explain the exercises, to give them information on safe moxa practices (and on what points to heat and when), to inform them about planned caesarean sections) and you'll have a nice checklist sheet to make sure you don't forget anything during your breech baby treatments!
Rebecca's training on breech babies was a day full of knowledge and good sharing. I really enjoyed the perfect mix of theory and practice to assimilate the knowledge. I went home disappointed that the day was over. I would definitely take another course from this beautiful, generous human in the near future. Thank you Rebecca!
A must for any acupuncturist who wants to treat pregnant women. Not only does it cover overall treatment, including frequency of treatment, when to treat and how to position the patient, it also covers pathophysiology, statistics, how to talk to patients and lots of advice to give them.
In short, a complete training course with many rapidly applicable tools, given by an acupuncturist who is more than generous and passionate.
I really loved my training on breech babies. It allowed me to better understand the concept of muscular tensions during pregnancy, especially in cases of breech. Now I analyze the patient's situation further in order to support different situations such as cases of oligohydramnios or polyhydramnios for example.... It’s so much more than Bladder 67 and moxa!
I recommend doing this training if you have a clientele of pregnant women.
Rebecca is a passionate and generous teacher and most of all, a wonderful human being who wants the best for the person who give birth and their babies. She really wants to help practioners to get better skills to make a real difference in the World. I took three classes with her. I enjoyed and learned a lot. She gives many different tools and her notes are really nice, clear and easy to refer to. I recommend!
For the first time in the states!
