I have been compiling this body of work over the last 20+ years as a bodyworker, midwife, and prenatal yoga teacher. I use many of the techniques every day in my healing practice and you can apply them in your birth practice right away, too.
Deepening your anatomy understanding and watching/practicing proven techniques will inform your touch and fast track your effectiveness and confidence.
