About the Approved Trainer: Fiona is nurse, midwife, birth educator and bodyworker who has worked with families and their babies for 30 years. Interwoven throughout her midwifery practice has been an involvement in midwifery education and the teaching of Birthwork workshops. The focus of all birth related teaching is on the dynamic pelvis and how to make space for the baby.
