Date:  Monday November 14th, 2022 

Time:  9am - 12noon


this webinar is worth 3 hours of CEUs/CPDs


If you are interested in expanding your practice to focus on Women's health and Obstetrics, this online course is for you!



This Live Webinar will focus on the how to perform a complete osteopathic evaluation and physical assessment of a pregnant woman who is at the beginning, or 1st trimester of her pregnancy.

 

You can learn to accompany your patient throughout each trimester of her pregnancy to help minimize uncomfortable symptoms and help her progress into an easier, safer delivery.  By learning to work with your future Birthmother,  instead of waiting until after the Delivery to "fix" her is what Osteopathic Philosophy is all about.  

We will review video demonstrations of a multi-step Treatment Osteopathic Assessment Protocol for the 1st Trimester and you will be given a downloadable copy of the step-by-step protocol for you to use in your clinic.

 In order to use the treatment protocol taught in this Webinar, a solid training in a biomechanical approach to Cranial Osteopathy (not energetic Cranio-Sacral Therapy) is needed.  Scroll down to the bottom of this page to see the option of enrolling in the online version of this course or click here.

You also have the option of enrolling in all five Webinars and submitting a completed example of your hands-on practice for each Webinar Treatment Protocol to be eligible to earn a Certificate of Completion

Cranial Osteopathy Options

Some of the steps in the protocol taught in this Webinar include some Cranial Osteopathy.  We understand that training in Cranial Osteopathy as part of a Practitioner's basic DO or DOMP diploma might or might not include this important aspect of osteopathic practice depending on the school you studied with or the country that you reside in.  

For this reason, you can enroll in the Fundamentals of Cranial Osteopathy course which has been set for you to work at your own accelerated rate, or at our own self-paced rate.  Please scroll down to the bottom of this page to view this option and to read about it.

If you intend on participating in the entire Webinar series and submitting homework assignments in order to be awarded a Certificate of Completion, you must have either taken this course or can prove sufficient prior training in a biomechanical approach to Cranial Osteopathy.

Maureen Hannah Maher has over fifteen years of clinical experience in the fields of Women's Health, Obstetrics, and Pediatrics.

Educational Director & Instructor

Maureen Hannah Maher

Since Maureen began teaching, she found that not only does she have a natural gift for it (her parents were both teachers, so let hear it for genetics!), she found that she also holds a great desire to give back to the community and a profession that has been so fulfilling to her, and share over twenty years of acquired experience and knowledge.   Maureen brings extensive knowledge in Osteopathy  to her educational seminars.  Throughout her career which began in Montreal in 2003, Maureen has been an accredited member in good standing in several provinces across Canada, including the CPMDQ (Quebec), OsteopathyBC (British Columbia), OFOP (Ontario) and SCMMAC (Quebec). Like many classically trained Manual Osteopaths in Canada, Maureen wrote a thesis as part of her Osteopathy training. Hers was within the field of Cranial Osteopathy, on the Prevalence of Muscle and Myofascial Chain Link Dysfunctions and the Temporal Bone. Maureen was also an Associate Overseas member of the Australian Osteopathic Association (AOA) from 2008 to 2011.  After undergoing accreditation evaluation for foreign trained Osteopaths in Perth, Western Australia, Maureen was offered a position in one of Singapore's leading Osteopathic Clinics, giving her the distinction of having been the first Canadian trained Osteopath to be approved to practice  in South East Asia.   Right before the worldwide economic collapse in 2010, Maureen was offered a position in Shanghai China, which required accreditation with the GOSC, UK, which she began, but as prevailing economic conditions worsened, the position was put on hold, and Maureen decided instead to settled in Toronto, Canada, where after reluctantly accepting a poorly paid teaching contract, her students began asking her to design courses in more specialized subjects within Osteopathy, including Women's Health and Pediatrics.  It was not long after that Maureen founded the Center for Continuing Education of Osteopathy & Manual Therapy where she continued to innovate every day! Today, Maureen still teaches continuing education courses in specialized fields of Osteopathic Manual Therapy. Her students say that Maureen's teaching style is animated, engaging, but most importantly, informative.  Her gift lies in communicating complex theories in simple terms and analogies.  Her students come away with a clear grasp of Osteopathic concepts for treatment, and practical knowledge of how to apply them.  In more recent years, Maureen has created online versions of some of her most popular courses, and it is thanks to this new era of online learning that Osteopaths throughout Canada and throughout the world have been able to use Maureen's teachings and treatment protocols to help women, infants, and the general public find relief from the bodily dysfunctions that are so amenable to osteopathic manual treatments. Practitioners who enroll in any of our continuing education courses can contact Maureen at any time by email or pre-arranged phone call with clinical questions.  As a result, many Osteopaths worldwide still consult with her today regarding challenging Osteopathy cases.
