Breech Consultation
in person session - education, bodywork, empowerment

Did your doctor or midwife diagnosed your baby's position as breech and recommending a scheduled a cesarean section? There are other options.

By using the Spinning Babies approach, Rebozo techniques and the Breech Release bodywork in this consultation you learn about the anatomy of your pelvis and a head up baby,  practice positions and exercises to balance the pelvis, receive bodywork to release ligaments and muscles. This work makes more room in teh body and encourages baby to turn head down.
We will discuss other methods and aids in turning baby, how to prepare for an ECV (External Cephalic Version) and up your chances for it to succeed. We will also talk about your options and safety of a vaginal breech birth and providers in the SF Bay Area.
Sessions are typically 3hrs long, tailored to your needs.
​Fee: $350 - length of the session can be adjusted based on your needs.
Follow up bodywork sessions are 90min, fee: $225
Please use my scheduler below for office visits.
Home visits are available and scheduled via email.
Travel fee might apply for some areas of the Greater SF Bay Area.

2 and 3 session packages are available for bodywork sessions to support your process in turning your baby and making you feel more comfortable and confident in your body.

"For anyone hoping to flip a stubborn baby before birth, we completely recommend Ilka for her kind manner and her skill. ... She was hands-on, good-humored and stayed until late in the evening to ensure that we had time to practice what she taught us. Two days later, after 36 hours of our following Ilka's guidance, the baby flipped over of its own accord. We are grateful to Ilka for her wisdom and skill."
