Spinning Babies

Did you know that there is more to childbirth than just tummy tightening and pushing that adorable ball of chub out?
Baby has a big job to do too. Twisting and turning, spinning and tucking to be born right your arms. This is so important and is often times times forgotten in most childbirth classes. That’s where this Spinning Babies® Parent Class comes in!
Currently offering personal classes as well as virtual/distance options. Contact Us for more details.
What is Spinning Babies®?
Spinning Babies® is an approach to childbirth to that asks the question, “Where is baby?”, instead of focusing solely on dilation of the cervix. This approach brings the baby into the equation with how the baby is positioned through the birthing process. We’ve learned that the birth process is 50/50. The birthing person and baby work together through out the birthing time. Spinning Babies® is NOT about turning your baby, but about the natural rotation of your baby during their birth, and how you can help them in this process.
