Spinning Babies®️ Parent Class
Spinning Babies® Parent Class highlights your baby’s active role in birth.
During labor the baby needs to pass through the three levels of the pelvis. Learn techniques to help your pelvis and it’s muscles that support or restrict your pelvic levels. Together, you and your birth partner can use these techniques before and during labor to help “make room for baby!” Spinning Babies® reveals how the baby can find optimal positions for labor, and make birth less painful, and even pleasurable!
Baby’s job in labor is to rotate!

*The Three Balances℠ help birth muscles to relax and add comfort now to ease birth later.
*Birth Positions that open the pelvis that let the baby come through more easily.
