Biography:

Anna Maria Rossetti earned her Bachelor's degree in Midwifery from the University of Milan (UNIMI), Italy, in 2004. In 2009, she completed a two-year program in Continuity of Care and Salutogenesis under Verena Schmid at SEAO in Florence, Italy. She further advanced her education by earning a Master’s degree in Posturology and Manual Therapies from the University of Bologna (UNIBO), Italy, in 2016.Additionally, she is an accredited Spinning Babies® Instructor. 

Anna Maria has extensive experience as a midwife, having worked at Hospital Savini, THO, in Milan, Italy, and at Princess Elizabeth Hospital in Guernsey, UK. In 2010, she took on the role of Head Midwife at a maternity hospital run by the NGO Emergency in Anabah, Afghanistan. Since 2013, she has been practicing as an independent midwife. 

Currently, Anna Maria serves as the Director of the postgraduate school of Midwifery, ART SEAO, in Florence, Italy. She is also the Director of the Editorial Board of SEAO Edizioni and the Founder and Director of ARCHIMETRA, an international journal dedicated to Salutogenesis in Midwifery Care, published by SEAO Edizioni. As a highly sought-after speaker and educator, Anna Maria lectures on Psychoneuroendocrine Physiology at universities in Italy, Portugal, Brazil, the UK, Israel, and Russia. She is also a frequent presenter at conferences in the United States.

Distress in Labour: A Psychoneuroendocrine Approach
Childbirth is a psychoneuroendocrine (PNEI) process that requires major neuromodulations to occur safely. Although this vision is recognized by the World Health Organization, it often fails to be implemented when facing a dystocia in labour, whether dynamic or mechanic. Currently in difficult labours, care is mainly focused on implementing the forces working on the uterus (uterine activity) or opting for an operative/surgical modality of birth. This standard care to dystocia brings poor outcomes in terms of quality of the experience as perceived by the mother/birthing person and family and it impacts the rates of exclusive lactation at 3 and 6 months afterwards, major indicators of the global quality of maternity care in high income countries. A PNEI perspective on labour and birth acknowledges the autonomous nervous system of both the person giving birth and the one being born. PNEI expands the parameters of our clinical observation of the uterus, its mechanic, metabolic and neurovegetative distress, including the association with myometrial lactic acidosis and women’s/labouring persons’ behaviours and stress responses. This lecture will offer an interpretation and practical tools to reverse the distress into a physiological stress, empowering the biological resources of mother/parent and baby on the long term.

Fetal Rotation, Fascia, and the Nervous System: Rethinking Labour Dystocia
Labour dystocia due to lack of fetal internal rotation is a leading cause of interventions and cesarean births. This session explores how maternal tissues—particularly fascia—respond to emotional and environmental cues through the autonomic nervous system, influencing labour progression. We’ll also examine how the fetal nervous system contributes to rotation and descent. Integrating fascial biomechanics with PsychoNeuroEndocrinology, this presentation offers practical, evidence-informed strategies to support optimal fetal positioning and reduce birth interventions.
