Workshop with Dr. Sarah Buckley
July 2nd 2019 from 2:00-5:00 PM
River Vale, New Jersey
WORKSHOP IS FULL
Join Dr. Sarah Buckley, author of the groundbreaking 2015 report Hormonal Physiology of Childbearing as she shares research updates as well as insights from her PhD studies, including recent work with global oxytocin expert Professor Kerstin Uvnas Moberg.
This special workshop is the only NY/NJ Training Dr. Buckley will offer this year.
We will cover:
- Hormonal gaps and how to address them
- All about oxytocin: queen of childbearing
- Synthetic oxytocin- friend or foe?
- The real cost of epidurals
- ...and much more!
Big take-aways:
- Maternity-care interventions, including caesareans, epidural analgesia and synthetic oxytocin, can disrupt hormonal physiology and produce hormonal gaps, which can be addressed to improve outcomes for mothers and babies.
- New understandings about synthetic oxytocin suggest that this may have benefits for mothers and babies in some situations.
- Epidural analgesia disrupts critical neuro-hormonal pathways in labour, and may have long-term impacts on biological adaptations to motherhood.
Dr. Sarah Buckley is trained as a family physician, with qualifications in family physician obstetrics. She is mother of four children, all born at home, and is the author of the bestselling book Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering. Sarah has a special interest in the hormones of labour and birth and has been writing and speaking about this topic to parents and professionals since 2002, and is currently is researching this area as a PhD candidate at the University of Queensland, Brisbane Australia.
