Dennis Hertenstein, DC
Learn How To Support Babies To Recover From Birth Trauma
Open to anyone who wants to learn. A particularly big welcome to body workers, doulas, midwives, lactation consultants, and nurses. Cranial-sacral work and myofascial release work combined with pre and perinatal psychology tools, when used as soon as possible after birth, can reduce the need for medical intervention, and the severity of birth trauma. We will explore the anatomy of the skull, neck and back pertinent to birth trauma, including practical information about the location, function, and vulnerability of cranial and spinal nerves, and blood supply. There will be experiential exercises. Dr. Hertenstein will also facilitate demo sessions with babies, followed by rich debriefing after each. This is Level One of two levels. The next level will be September. First level is required for the second one.
BIRTH TRAUMA may show up as: Inability to effectively suck, latch-on, or swallow; tight jaws; generalized bodily discomfort; “colic”; digestive discomfort/dysfunction; urinary dysfunction; diarrhea/constipation; tactile hypersensitivity inconsolable crying; other neurological and motor deficits; relational, bonding and attachment problems.
MODALITIES WILL BE EXPLORED FOR THE RESOLUTION OF BIRTH TRAUMA how to hold and decompress the sub-occipital area, spine, sacrum, and other traumatized parts of the body. Strategies to help a traumatized baby that cannot tolerate touch will be shown. You will be taught how to create a safe, healing container for the work while helping baby to re-connect to resources.
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW:
Cranial-sacral work, and "pre and peri-natal psychology" tools, when used at ( or as soon as possible after ) birth, can reduce the need for medical intervention, and decrease the severity of the short term, and the long term, effects of the physical and emotional, ramifications of birth trauma.
In these workshops you will learn anatomy of the skull, neck, and back, pertinent to potential birth trauma, including practical information about the location, function, and vulnerability of cranial nerves and blood supply. There will also be experiential hands-on exercises. Techniques will be taught for the resolution of birth trauma, including how to hold and decompress the sub-occipital area, spine, sacrum, and other traumatized areas of the body. You will also be taught how to create a safe and healing container ( “womb surround” ) to include parents and other care-givers, as appropriate, helping the baby to re-connect with their resources. Strategies for how to help a baby that cannot tolerate touch will also be discussed.
There will also be a number of "Open Baby Sessions", where, in the group, Dr. Hertenstein will do an intake with Mom, Dad, and Baby and the exam, along with one or two treatment sessions, and follow-up debriefings, as profoundly rich learning opportunities.In these workshops there will be ample time ( 40 hours total ) to deeply explore all these issues. The workshops will give you the tools to confidently, and safely, begin to relate to babies, and the trauma they may hold, in a meaningful way.The first 20 hour workshop will give you ample tools to begin helping these babies, and their parents, immediately. The second workshop will take you deeper into the profundity of this work. After you have had the opportunity to utilize the work for a few months, you will find yourself ready for this deepening.
