Spinning Babies asks a new question, “Where is baby?” 

Learn fresh solutions for pain in labor, long and/or posterior labors, or dystocia.

Learn why we believe baby’s position reflects the space available. Suddenly the way we’ve been aiding progress turns on its head. Address pelvic muscles with muscle stretch, and myofascial techniques. It’s as simple as “making room for baby.”

We soon realize fetal positioning is only a clue of what is needed and perhaps not the originating cause of a long and complicated labor.

Bring birth back to ease. Enter the new paradigm of birth that is Spinning Babies.

Workshop introduces you to the Spinning Babies premise. Rearrange “what you know” and learn the next level. Use your wisdom better. Techniques based on soft tissue anatomy like no other birth workshop. You will be able to identify and help pregnant and birthing women with a new approach to comfort, pain relief, fetal positioning, and labor progress.

Topics discussed included:

• A new premise for childbirth ease and labor progress for the experienced provider
• Exploration of the role of “Soft Tissues” in pregnancy, labor, and fetal position (muscles, ligaments, connective tissue)
• Common effects of posterior position on pregnancy and labor
• Fetal Positioning and labor progress with the 3 Principles of Balance, Gravity and Movement
• Resolving the stalled labor through the Three Levels Of The Pelvis; pelvic mobility and soft tissues release.
• Practice activities for pregnancy comfort, spontaneous birth as nature intended, and cesarean avoidance.
• Identifying a stall in labor via labor pattern and being able to match the technique is a part of the workshop.
