"Treating the Obstetrical Patient Throughout all of the Stages of Pregnancy: an Osteopathic Approach"

Date:  Monday Nov 28th, 2022 

Time:  9am - 12noon

  3 CEUs/CPDs


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


 This Live Webinar will focus on the Physiological and Lymphatic changes of the 3rd Trimester of Pregnancy, helping you know what to expect, and how to treat 3rd Trimester Patients successfully. 

Each stage of Pregnancy creates its own challenges within the body of the future Birthmother.  

You can learn to accompany your patient throughout the painful and exhausting time for many future birthmothers in their 3rd Trimester of pregnancy.

Using Osteopathic Manual therapy, you can help minimize uncomfortable symptoms and help her progress into an easier, safer preparation for labour and 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 a multi-step Treatment Osteopathic Treatment Protocol for the 3rd Trimester and you will be given a downloadable copy of the step-by-step protocol for your clinic.


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

From Mauritius:

"  It’s going great, and more and more women have heard that I work with women’s health issues providing amazing results. It has become a passion of mine, as it has a huge effect on women’s lives and also their relationship with their partners.  

I absolutely love your courses and I’m looking forward to doing more!"

Cranial Osteopathy Options

Some of the protocols in this course naturally 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, we have two options for you:

1) We have created a course bundle that includes both this course in Treating the Obstetrical Patient AND the course in the Fundamentals of Cranial Osteopathy.  You can progress through both courses concurrently, or in series. Please scroll down to the bottom of this page to view this bundle and to read about it.

2) You can request to 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 bundle and to read about it.

If you are undecided what option is best for you, please email our Educational Director at ceosteopathy@!gmail.com to discuss.

Please note:

Although we have not made our course in Cranial Osteopathy a firm pre-requisite to enrolling in this course in Treating the Obstetetrical Patient, we do recommend that you consider taking this course if your knowledge is limited and you find yourself intimidated by the cranial aspect of some of this course's treatment protocols.

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.
