Did you know that every week in Italy a child dies from choking on food or other objects? It seems absurd, no? Every parent or childcare worker should know the techniques to clear foreign objects from air passages.  This course takes only two hours, only two hours to save a life!
Hosted by Salvamento Academy, an association that has a wonderful and ambitious goal: to ensure that everyone knows how to save a life.
If you would like to learn how to save a life book your place today as space is limited. The course will be an hour of theory followed by an hour of practical demonstrations and practice on mannequins.
At the end of the course you will receive a certificate of participation. Child care givers welcome.
April 26th from 7P-9P, €20 per person, location Bellies Abroad HQ in Via Mecenate.

Join us for an information session to learn more about HypnoBirthing and how it can help you and your birth companion during the birth of your baby. HypnoBirthing® is not just for the mom who wants a natural med-free birth. It is for every mom that wants an educated and empowered birth experience without the fear and anxiety with which it is so very often associated.
During this evening session with Bellies Abroad HypnoBirthing practitioner Margaretha Tosi, you will learn more about the basics of HypnoBirthing and how this method can offer tools to go through labor in a more comfortable way. Margaretha will talk about the way HypnoBirthing uses visualization and breathing techniques, how partners are educated to become great birth companions, and how HypnoBirthing teaches you how to work with your body to eliminate fear and pain. A part from information, Margaretha will also give a small demonstration of how HypnoBirthing works and how it can be applied during labor. There will also be time to ask any questions you might have.
