2-DAY SPINNING BABIES® WORKSHOP
Spinning Babies® is offering a reformatted workshop to provide more hands-on practice! This workshop will be two full days with techniques practiced to help people with comfort in pregnancy and ease in childbirth. This workshop is open to Doctors, Midwives, Nurses, Doulas, Childbirth Educators, Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Birth Givers, and alternative providers who assist women in pregnancy and childbirth. It is recommended for people new to Spinning Babies, as well as those practiced in it for years. However, having a foundation of practice will greatly help in understanding these tools and how to apply them.

Learn and Relearn the anatomy and physiology that impacts fetal position and physiological wellbeing in pregnancy and birth (we explore the soft tissues of muscle, ligaments, and fascia).

Practice the “3 Sisters of Balance:” Spinning Babies’ techniques to add balance to pregnancy and birth.

Explore the effects of occiput posterior presentation on the length of pregnancy and labor.

Reduce or prevent long, posterior labors during pregnancy – with demonstration on a live model.

Define and understand the difference between comfort measures and rotation techniques.

Learn a new approach to labor progress through the pelvic stations (levels).

Thoroughly explore and practice many spinning techniques for:

– The Inlet (rather than the latent phase)
– The Midpelvis (rather than the active phase)
– The Outlet (rather than Stage 2)

Identify fetal position without hands-on palpation (touch) and within the doula scope of practice with ‘Belly Mapping’
