4-Day In-Person Professionl Training

 

Exploring the Biomechanics of Birth and Well-Woman Care.

 

Sebastopol, California

June 26-29, 2025

10am - 5pm

 This intensive is for birth professionals (midwives, doulas, OBGYN's), movement therapists, massage therapists,  myofunctional therapists, chiropractors, and mothers alike- the more involved we all are in our birth culture, the better our birth culture becomes.

 

Add it to your self-directed prenatal care kit, your midwifery skills, your movement + bodywork practice, or your rightful knowledge as a woman. 
During this intensive you will learn:

  • In-depth uterine + pelvic anatomy and physiology through the pregnancy + birth continuum.

  •  How to mobilize the pelvic inlet, mid-pelvis, and the outlet in preparation for birth.

  • Prenatal postural patterns + the connection to fetal positioning and birth patterns.

  • Whole-body, dynamic biomechanical preparation for birth during pregnancy.

  • Introductory manual therapy + craniosacral techniques for mobility of the inlet, midpelvis and outlet and addressing pain patterns in pregnancy.

  • Skills for palpating + working with the psoas, anterior + posterior pelvic ligaments, sacrum, and pelvic bowl.

  • Specific origins + movement practices for common pain patterns including SPD, sciatica, SI joint + back pain, heartburn, and more.

This workshop includes lectures, movement practices and individual posture assessments.

You will receive a certificate of completion.

Meet Your Instructors

Adelaide Meadow and Mandy Verghese bring a rare depth of experience and embodiment to their teaching — rooted in reverence for the female body and decades of hands-on work in the field of well-woman care. 

Adelaide is a female physiology academic, movement teacher, bodyworker, and homebirth attendant. For more than a decade, she has studied and taught at the intersection of women's health, biomechanics, and physiological birth. Her work is rooted in the belief that physiological birth depends on physiological womanhood — and that the genius of the body is most powerful when it is trusted. She is a sought-after teacher, leader, and speaker on women’s health and women's culture.

Mandy is a mother, midwife, Womb Continuum Care provider, and folk herbalist. She has supported hundreds of women through every phase of the childbearing continuum over the past 15 years, from remote unassisted births to busy international hospitals. Her work is grounded in a deep belief in the body’s capacity to change — and in practices that support that change through physiologically informed movement, hands-on care, and midwifery wisdom.

Together, Adelaide and Mandy share a deep devotion to restoring reverence for the female body. Their work blends science and tradition, structure and lived experience — in service of women’s well-being, and the future of women’s care.
