Self Care for Birth Professionals with Julie Brill, CCCE, CLD, CAPPA Faculty
When was the last time you treated yourself to something you love? As birth professionals we specialize in caring for others. Many of us work long hours, are on call round the clock, and also care for own families. We may be in the habit of putting our own needs last, putting us at risk for suffering from burnout. This workshop will give you the opportunity to focus on your own needs and even take a mini vacation from the demands of your daily life. We’ll learn from each other about what works for self care, eat chocolate mindfully, laugh together, and get inspired!

What marketing practices do successful birth business owners employ? What steps can you take to help attract more clients and increase your income? Guest WellPregnancy instructor Jodi Krentzman of Hip to Heart will share the tips and tricks of marketing, what works and what to avoid. Topics will include business cards, web sites, logos, networking, and record keeping. Come with your marketing questions!
Chiropractic Care in the Childbearing Year with Lizzie Sobel, DC of Wholesome Healing Chiropractic
Did you know that regular chiropractic treatments can help with fertility, offer physical support throughout pregnancy, prepare the body and mind for childbirth, help post partum recovery, and benefit newborns? Learn what benefits chiropractic treatment offers women, why it is so essential in the perinatal period, and when it is appropriate for other birth professionals to refer their clients to a chiropractor. Understand what the chiropractic adjustment is and how it influences the body’s central nervous system. Appreciate why pregnancy brings on many common aches and pain, why chiropractic treatments are so effective for these concerns, and how chiropractors address physical, emotional, and chemical stress in the body, which can affect pregnancy and birth. Learn what the Webster technique is and why is it so effective in helping with baby positional issues such as breech, transverse, and occiput posterior presentations. Practice hands on techniques to use with your clients throughout pregnancy and during active labor.
