Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class
Babies are really good at navigating their way through the pelvis, and they have more ease doing so when we create more space and balance. The Spinning Babies® approach focuses on balance, gravity, and movement within the body and with baby. Your Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class will include:
A note on inclusivity: My goal as a childbirth educator is to facilitate a learning space that is safe, supportive, and informative for all people preparing to give birth. I strive to create a learning space that is Disabled, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ friendly and affirming.
- Overview of anatomy in pregnancy and birth, including ideas for lengthening and softening muscle tissue, ligaments, and fascia
- Daily activities you can practice to enhance comfort during pregnancy and facilitate ease during birth
- The Three Balances℠
- Rest Smart℠
- Practice with identifying labor patterns and Invitations to Act during labor to help find ease and comfort for both you and your baby
- Various labor positions to help open the pelvic inlet, mid-pelvis, and outlet
- Ideas for bonding with your baby in pregnancy, including an introduction to Belly Mapping
