Spinning Babies® is an approach to pregnancy and birth that focuses on balance, gravity, and movement to support a more comfortable, efficient labor.
Spinning Babies is a new paradigm that takes clues from baby’s position and station for natural, physiological solutions.
How Spinning Babies® Supports Pregnancy and Birth:
- Align the uterus so baby can curl and enter the pelvis as a small, compact – and more active participant.
- Release tight ligaments or muscles which may pull or twist may relieve pelvic pain now or discomfort during birth.
- Support what’s loose in the womb or pelvis with a pregnancy belt.
- Open the pelvis to let the baby move down during the birth process.
- Share birth wisdom with parents and providers in ever-deepening layers of understanding birth
Begin with activities to support the range of motion and alignment, to reach a healthy mix of mobility and stability for the pelvis. Comfort and function return to the body.
Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class
Babies have a very important and active role during labor — your job is to dilate; your baby’s job is to rotate! Babies must navigate through three levels of your pelvis to be born. The Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class is an ideal opportunity to learn techniques to help bring balance to your body and address any restrictions in your pelvis for an easier birth. Together, you and your birth partner can use these techniques before and during labor to help make room for your baby.
After this class, you will better understand how your baby can find optimal positions for labor, and make birth less painful— even pleasurable! For expectant parents only.
Training and Certification
A few fun facts about my Spinning Babies® journey.
In 2018, I had the privilege of training directly under Gail Tully, a respected leader in the birth world and the visionary behind Spinning Babies®–an opportunity that’s quite rare!
I went on to became the first doula in Houston to earn the Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educator credential, allowing me to bring this approach to families early on.
Today, I continue to share this practical, evidence-informed approach with expectant parents, helping them prepare for birth with confidence and ease.
Together, we are Changing Birth on Earth!
