• The rebozo requires very little material and can be easily integrated into existing treatments, courses, and consultations.
• Foster greater closeness and trust with your clients. Working intentionally with a fabric wrap creates space for mindful touch and can enrich the therapeutic relationship in a unique way.
• You will learn how to use a baby wrap safely during all these phases—whether for back pain, cramps, tension, exhaustion, or a rigid abdomen—as well as specifically during labor, for instance when contractions stall or the dilation phase fails to progress.
