Breech workshop

I am thrilled to announce a vaginal breech skills workshop coming to Indianapolis this July! Participants will perform and observe simulated vaginal breech deliveries with Canadian obstetrician J. Peter O'Neill and learn upright (hands & knees) breech techniques from Canadian midwife Betty-Anne Daviss.

Free public lecture: Betty-Anne Daviss will also be giving a free public lecture about upright breech birth on Saturday, July 16th from 7-9 pm. She has traveled to Frankfurt, Germany five times to train at Dr. Louwen's clinic. Dr. Louwen and his team have done over 1,000 vaginal breeches in the past decade, 90% of which were upright breech births.

Special pricing for non-medical professionals: If you're a doula, childbirth educator, or just a parent wanting to learn more about breech birth, you can attend Betty-Anne's full-day workshop on Sunday, July 17th for only $100!

The workshop will take place on the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis. Room details forthcoming.

Please circulate this to physicians and midwives interested in updating their vaginal breech skills. ACNM specialty credit has been applied for.
