About Anna Maria Rossetti
Independent Midwife, SpB®AT, Author, Lecturer, Director of the Elemental School of Midwifery Art, Florence, Italy, Director of the Editorial Board SEAO Edizioni and Vice Director of the trimestral journal “Donna&Donna, il giornale delle ostetriche” Ed. SEAO, Florence
Anna Maria Rossetti has been a midwife since 2004, and a lecturer for The School of Midwifery Art in Florence, for the University of Milano Bicocca, as a guess for the University of Bournemouth, UK and for many Hospitals in Italy and abroad: mainly Portugal and Israel. She is invited to congresses and quoted as inspirational speaker internationally.
Anna accomplished her postgraduate two years education with Verena Schmid in 2009 and then continued her study regarding the clinical and practical implications of Psychoneuroendocrinoimmunology during pregnancy and birth. She became Director of the same school in 2016. Anna Maria developed her clinical experience in difficult labours with attention to the autonomous nervous system by working in many different settings: from hospitals to homebirths, from Europe to war territories in the Middle East.
Anna Maria is as well the Project Leader of a new branch of the SEAO named “SEAO-Rise,” which aims to spread and develop a woman friendly culture and raise awareness toward women’s human rights, both by educating midwives and helping women regain confidence with their bodies, cyclicity and sexual passages. She strongly believes in compassion, education and in the transformative power of biological sacred passages: altogether they can shape the social and cultural value of women and children in the eyes of the world.
Anna worked as a missionary in Afghanistan, in 2010, leading a maternity center on behalf of an NGO operating for the health care of women living in war territories.
In 2012 to 2013 she was Coordinator Midwife in the Midwives Led Unit (MLU) of Guernsey, UK.
Anna Maria earned a Master degree in Manual Therapies and Posturology in 2016, expanding her knowledge of the fascia and the treatment of childbirth related scars. She attended the full one year training course in Psychophony with Elisa Benassi in 2015, that has deepened her understanding of the role of voice, breath and diaphragm during pregnancy, childbirth and perineal re-education after birth. Anna became a Spinning Babies®Approved Trainer in 2019, after completing the SpB®AT education training with Gail Tully in Minnesota (USA).
Anna actually works as an independent midwife, taking care of post traumatic birth experiences, treating childbirth related scars under both the physical, symbolic, emotional point of view and raising consciousness towards human rights in childbirth. She teaches both midwives and doctors the interconnections between neuroscience, environment and stressors, in the cognition that uteruses and cervixes are environment’s sensors, thus affecting both professionals and families during the experience of birth.
Publications
Anna Maria created and co-authored the publishing series “Gli Elementali”, Scientific manuals targeting professionals which aim to bring the Salutogenic and PNEP perspective into the professional’s educational books. Her first book “Gli esami in Gravidanza”, 2019, brings a practical approach to a woman centered care during pregnancy and is being used in many Universities as a text book.
Anna Maria contributed to the book, “Physiology of Birth”, 2014 Spandrio, Regalia, Bestetti, which is being used as a text book in the midwifery schools all over Italy as well.
Anna Maria published several articles as a regular collaborator for the midwives' journal, D&D, edited by SEAO
