Improve labor outcomes with a Spinning Babies® Workshop. Learn our physiological techniques that offer a complete system of birth preparation and labor facilitation concepts to improve labor with the baby's position. The 2-day workshop covers the same curriculum as the 1-day workshop at an easy-to-integrate pace, with additional time for more hands-on practice. Feel confident in how to apply the Spinning Babies® approach to help birthing families in community, clinical, and hospital settings. This course introduces the Spinning Babies® approach to pregnancy comfort, labor progress, and easier birth. We welcome all birth professionals - from the new doula to the highly experienced provider. Spinning Babies® presents a new perspective on the anatomy of fetal positioning and birth, and applies stretching and rocking techniques to balance the body. After this workshop, you will be able to:

- Facilitate pregnancy comfort and ease of birth for your clients

- Improve fetal position without manipulating the fetus

- Identify problems more quickly; gentle actions to shorten a long labor or avoid a cesarean section

- Use less (or no) force to resolve malposition and labor dystocia?

And a lot , much more!

Spinning Babies® Three PrinciplesSM, Three BalancesSM and Pelvic Three Levels SolutionsSM offers the world's first complete birth preparation system and labor facilitation concepts using the baby's position. Physiological techniques alter the effective size of the pelvis through the body's own innate ability to resolve or prevent labor dystocia.

What Makes This Workshop Special
Spinning Babies®️ is an innovative approach to care for pregnant women and women in labor that combines a comprehensive view of the physiology of pregnancy and childbirth with a perspective of non-invasive, preventive care with a focus on autonomy. In this workshop, you will review your knowledge of anatomy and physiology, in particular the influence of soft tissues on the birth process, in addition to learning tools that can prevent discomfort and complications during both pregnancy and childbirth. The Spinning Babies®️ approach can reduce unnecessary cesarean sections by adding extra support for physiology to happen!
