Rebozo techniques can influence the course of labor by assisting in the correction of fetal malpositions and helping to prevent or manage dystocia. It also support movement to help both the birther and the baby. Learn Rebozo techniques for both uncomplicated and complicated births. Learn strategies beyond comfort measures for childbirth and promote well-being, calm, and presence.

Introduction
Rebozos have been a part of my life since I was a child. It is part of my culture, we use it for important events and for our everyday life. I love exploring and spreading its extraordinary uses and benefits. The care, love and magic that a rebozo brings during pregnancy, birth and postpartum is truly exceptional.
In addition, it helps anyone seeking calm, well-being and presence in their daily life. I use it to support pregnant women, children, men and women and consistently achieve remarkable results.
I invite you to experience the transformative power of rebozo and offer comfort to pregnant women through every stage of their journey – pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Besides relieving discomfort and pain, it also helps position the baby supporting a physiological birth.
The techniques shared in the course are intended to inspire participants to incorporate rebozo into their practice and encourage creativity and innovation in promoting healthier birth experiences and postpartum care. My teacher and inspiration is Guadalupe Trueba, a renowned, passionate and extraordinary Mexican midwife and doula with 50 years of experience, who learned from many different traditional midwives in Mexico.
The rebozo, a traditional Mexican shawl used for centuries by women, provides expectant mothers with enhanced comfort, confidence and security during pregnancy and labor. In addition, the ‘closing ceremony’ with rebozo and herbal baths offers new moms the physical and emotional healing needed for a positive postpartum experience.
Throughout the course, I will demonstrate different ways to integrate the rebozo into perinatal care. While the focus is primarily on perinatal care, these techniques are also useful for managing anxiety, stress and general well-being.

Introduction by Adriana Barri
Adriana is Mexican and has lived in Copenhagen since 2012. She started Rebozo Copenhagen after being inspired by her first pregnancy in 2014, when her midwife recommended it to her to relieve back, rib and pelvic pain. It was pure magic! It was the only way she could sleep at night and it also allowed her partner to participate in the process.
As rebozo originates from Mexico, she decided to support Mexican families in the local community by bringing authentic rebozos to Denmark. These rebozos are handwoven by skilled artisans and carry a rich tradition through many generations.
Adriana became an expert in rebozo techniques and found joy in sharing the rich cultural background and amazing techniques that can improve a pregnant woman’s well-being and help her through a more comfortable and easier labor. The techniques also help after birth, where the new mother is the focus of the treatment and can find peace and stability.
Since 2019, she has dedicated to teaching midwives, doulas, birth attendants, bodywork therapists, physiotherapists, massage therapists and expectant parents, rebozo techniques to support women before, during and after pregnancy. She teaches different techniques that can be used at all stages and help you find the optimal position for your body while protecting yourself during the treatment.
Her dream is to spread the uses of rebozo and raise awareness of rebozo techniques to even more professionals working with pregnant women, children and adults, where these techniques can be used as a form of relaxation and wellness. At the same time, she wants to support the Mexican artisans who handwoven this beautiful tool, making it possible to perform rebozo massage on others.
Adriana is the mother of two children, Emma, born in 2014, and Oscar, born in 2017. Her home is in Copenhagen, where she continues to share her passion for rebozo techniques with others.
