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.


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. 


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.



This hands-on workshop with an approved trainer offers real-time learning, personalized guidance, and confident skill-building in a supportive environment. You’re not just observing—you’re practicing, asking questions, and receiving immediate feedback from a trainer who has met rigorous standards and brings deep, practical experience to the work. This kind of immersive learning builds clarity, confidence, and competence, ensuring you leave not only informed, but truly prepared to apply what you’ve learned in the real world.

 

Learn how to recognise labour dystocia, where the baby is waiting in the pelvis and simple, practical solutions to promote comfort in pregnancy and ease in birth. Claire is an experienced facilitator who teaches in a way that is fun so that information and techniques are easy to remember and  simple to integrate into practice.  


We welcome all professionals who serve people in their pregnancy and birth. Ideal for midwives, nurses, nurse practitioners, doulas, and childbirth educators. Also attended by obstetricians, family medicine doctors, prenatal yoga instructors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, perinatal case managers, and community health workers. Recommended for people new to Spinning Babies®️, as well as those who have been practicing it for years. 


CEs are available for some participants, as noted in the Continuing Education section.
