Spinning Babies® Parent Preparation Class $395
As The ONLY Certified Spinning Babies® (SpBCPE) Educator in Canada,
This Class offers a fresh, anatomically-based perspective on birth. It shifts the focus from dilation to understanding your baby’s position and alignment, both in pregnancy and in labour, making it a revolutionary approach to preparing birth.
This class aims to eliminate discomfort during pregnancy while embracing a smoother, more comfortable birth experience. It focuses on educating the birther and birth partner on how they can help the baby navigate the birth canal by optimizing the natural design of the birthing body.
The pelvis, with its varying openings at three levels, is lined with muscles and ligaments that interact with the uterus and fascia, which either create or limit space for the baby to turn and find the right position for birth.
The term “spinning” refers to the baby’s work in rotating through these pelvic spaces.
· Key highlights of the class include:
· Spinning Babies® Techniques for optimal positioning in pregnancy and in labour and birth
· Daily Essential Activities to create space, ease discomforts and to prepare your body for labor.
· The Three Balances℠, which help relax birth muscles and add comfort during pregnancy and labour and birth
· Birth Positions that open the pelvis for smoother passage for baby and more comfort for mommy.
· Partner involvement to support with tools, techniques, positions and comfort during pregnancy, labor, and birth.
· Why take my Spinning Babies® Preparation Class?
This approach goes beyond just techniques; it’s a paradigm grounded in physiology. While many expectant parents might feel the need to “just wait and see” or trust in medical professionals during birth, Spinning Babies® emphasizes proactive preparation to help make labor and birth more manageable. It’s a powerful alternative to simply relying on hospital interventions, offering expectant parents tools to feel more in control and prepared for birth. Spinning Babies® offers unique preparation techniques that help both the baby get into the best position and rotate more easily, making the entire birth process smoother. When the baby’s journey through the pelvis is eased, the birthing process itself becomes easier as well.
