Dear Liddell Reader,
We are proud to announce Liddell’s continuing commitment to support pregnant mothers and children. Liddell is sponsoring its second International Education Conference to be held in March.
We want you to know about this vitally important conference organized to educate health professionals and the public about ways we can better humanize our birth procedures. The conference is organized by the AMAYAL Center for Health & Wellness Education, which was founded by Barbara Powers - also Liddell's founder. The conference site is Monterrey, México because Monterrey suffers from one of the highest rates of Caesarian birth in the world - up to 80% according to one Newsweek article. This 3-day Humanization of Birth Conference will be held March 23 - 25, 2007.
Monterrey is a modern city with a wide range of excellent hotels, restaurants and cultural opportunities. Further details can be found on www.amayal.com/congreso2007.
Please share this information with anyone you know that is pregnant, considering becoming pregnant or is active in healthcare relative to pregnancy and delivery. This conference is very reasonably priced to make it affordable for all people who are seeking a change… seeking more. The scientific evidence and practical knowledge learned will promote the humanization of the birth process in our health practices and in our lives.
Most presentations will be in English. Spanish presentations will be simultaneously translated into English. Full information is available at www.amayal.com/congreso2007.
The "Humanization of Birth...Reclaiming our Ancestral Wisdom" conference will emphasize the profound link that exists between our birth practices and the quality of life that our babies will achieve. Can we reduce violence in our societies by offering less violent births to our children? Contrary to medical evidence, some health professionals promote aggressive surgical interventions as the best, the safest, and the most comfortable birth options. However, science now indicates that there are long-term benefits to baby, mother and society when mothers and babies are able to achieve a loving, natural, drug-free childbirth.
Our speakers are internationally recognized experts in their respective fields. This distinguished group of obstetricians, midwives, medical anthropologists, perinatal pioneers and educators include: Dr. Ricardo Herbert Jones (Brazil), Dr. Marcos Leite dos Santos (Brazil), Robbie Davis-Floyd, PhD (USA), Debra Pascali-Bonaro, B.Ed, LCCE, CD (USA), and Ina May Gaskin, MA, CPM (USA).
Join us to learn about: New, evolving birth practices Ways to better support the birthing mother and her family New scientific models to reduce mother-infant mortality and to reduce non-medically necessary C-Sections Specific steps we can take to humanize our birthing practices and to better support babies in the 21st century
