Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class
Private 1:1 Session
Maybe life is better upside down
Hanging upside down was how I decompressed as a little girl in gymnastics. I remember heading for the uneven bars within seconds of dropping my bookbag to the floor. As an adult, aerial silks brought me right back to my favorite place. The moment I’m inverted, my whole body melts. Even when my mortgage payment is due.
In gymnastics & aerial arts our bodies didn’t just learn how to be strong, they were taught how to yield, to stretch & to soften. All while learning to trust our bodies as they supported us through things we weren’t sure we were capable of yet.
The same concept applies in birth, our strength doesn’t come from bracing ourselves through contractions. It comes from our ability to let our bodies be moved by the process.
After many, many Forward‑Leaning Inversions, I learned something pretty interesting, pregnant & birthing bodies love being upside down too.
Over the years, I noticed some bodies seemed to move with labor more easily, while others appeared to be working against layers of tension, discomfort or exhaustion before labor fully unfolded. I became curious about the relationship between movement, body tension, comfort & the way babies navigate the pelvis during birth after my own birth experiences.
During both of my labors, I spent so much time in bed connected to fetal monitoring. It wasn’t until alarms brought a room full of nurses & providers rushing in that I was finally encouraged to move. Both times, simple position changes shifted everything & my babies were born shortly after. There’s magic in gravity when we know how to use it to our advantage.
I’m over the moon to share that the Forward‑Leaning Inversion is one of the Three Balances℠ we will learn during our time together.
Giving birth calls for movement, balance, adaptability, safety within the body & the ability to yield as labor unfolds.
Spinning Babies® brings all of these things into the birth space, helping families prepare for birth with greater understanding & more confidence in their bodies. It shifted the way I support pregnancy & labor, giving me new ways to understand tension, movement, comfort & the relationship between baby & body throughout labor.
I want us to shift away from believing that carrying tension, pain & discomfort during pregnancy is something we simply have to accept. I want us to shift into having greater confidence in ourselves & our ability to give birth.
Prepare for ease in labor
The way baby turns through the pelvis during labor is what gives Spinning Babies® its name & what we’re supporting in this class. When we support greater balance & mobility within our body, we also support baby’s ability to do their part during labor. Babies are active participants in their birth too, moving, turning & adjusting as they work their way toward entering the world. They respond to the space available in our bodies as they rotate & descend through the pelvis.
The Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class is a hands-on way to better understand your body during pregnancy & labor. Together, we’ll explore hands-on techniques & guided movement to learn how to release tension, improve comfort & support your body in finding greater balance throughout pregnancy, birth & postpartum recovery.
Spinning Babies Parent Class complements any childbirth education you may have already taken. It brings a deeper understanding of how your body & your baby work together during birth.
