“Nurses are very excited to attend this workshop where we practice hands-on techniques for easing labor and achieving vaginal delivery. We use a wide variety of tools and techniques such as aroma therapy, rebozo techniques, massage, and positioning with birth and peanut balls. These techniques can make all the difference!”
