Improve labor outcomes with a Spinning Babies® Foundational Workshop. Learn our physiological techniques that offer a complete system of birth preparation and labor ease concepts to improve labor with the baby's position.


Spinning Babies® begins with fetal rotation to reveal the lesser known physiology of birth anatomy. Your passion, our approach.  Start seeing solutions in labor progress with this new lens on childbirth. 


After this workshop you will be able to:  


  • Facilitate comfort in pregnancy and ease in childbirth for your clients  

  • Improve fetal position without manipulation of the fetus  

  • Identify issues faster; gentle actions to shorten a long labor or avoid a cesarean  

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

  • And much, much more!  


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


Completing a Spinning Babies® Foundational Workshop is the prerequisite for our Spinning Babies® Integration Workshop and advanced training programs.
