Reclaiming Breech Birth Workshop

The Reclaiming Breech Birth Workshop was designed to increase knowledge and skills around breech vaginal birth for Midwives, Doctors and Students with the intention to offer this course to rural and remote areas. As an endorsed midwife, Sasha has completed training with both Breech Without Borders (2022 & 2025) and Dr Stuart Fischbein (2024) and continues to maintain these skills at least twice a year attending simulation training with other midwives in her area. Since attending her first breech training in November 2022, Sasha has been supporting planned (and surprise) breech births at home and occasionally at hospital. Sasha has experience teaching vaginal breech birth to the local midwives on training days and facilitated a breech workshop at the Homebirth Australia Conference in 2024. Prior to becoming an endorsed midwife, Sasha was a student facilitator at her local public hospital as well as an antenatal educator within a private midwifery practice on the sunshine coast for 1.5years. Since establishing this Australian College of Midwives CPD endorsed activity, Sasha has taught in the following QLD locations: Bundaberg, Rockhampton and Atherton, and is planning to travel to other states in Australia.

 

Sasha finds sharing the knowledge learned through her own experiences is rewarding and believes physiological breech birth should be understood by all especially those working in the birth space. If a woman chooses to birth her breech baby vaginally she should have access to the information and support she needs. As a midwife, Sasha believes it is our duty of care to ensure a woman has the right to choose how and where she births. The Reclaiming Breech Birth Workshop is an Australian College of Midwives CPD Endorsed activity offering 6 CPD points.
