We are gathering on the state of Minnesota’s “North Shore” of Lake Superior to deepen our foundations. Our five current Spinning Babies® Approved Trainers are welcoming nine new trainers, hand-picked by Gail Tully, for bringing the paradigm of Spinning Babies® to birth providers. These dedicated teachers have devoted their lives to our message and also relationships of integrity with ourselves and one another. Melissa, Marni, Nancy, and Vic (Team Spinning Babies, you might call us) are coming for the full integration of core community. We’ll explore concepts behind our techniques, update, hike, share meals and laughter, and the nine new trainers will be teaching in the local community center.
What is that to you? The foundation of Spinning Babies® nurtures the unique paradigm Gail has created to “change birth on earth.” How are we doing that? The Physiology Before Force℠ way of being with birth empowers providers and parents with creative ways to put the MotherBaby (pregnant parent and baby) into the lead through their innate physiology. “Birth as nature intended,” Penny Simkin, playfully stated, as the ideal for intact MotherBaby bonding – the foundation of human social affiliation.
When we get the foundations secure, the processes of birth and bonding more naturally occur.
Check out our new Your Pregnancy: Week-by-Week section of the website. Educators and nurses may enjoy our new educational posters. Our listings of Aware Practitioners (bodyworkers and birth care providers with fetal positioning training) and Certified Parent Educators are growing as more trainings are occurring.
Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educators
A relatively new addition to our community is our Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educators. This ever-growing group of professionals is trained to teach our unique approach to pregnant people and their partners or support person. Parent Educators use the Spinning Babies® approach to give parents practical knowledge for birth. They share daily activities, teach birth anatomy and knowledge about birth that offers many parents hope and awaken their inner strength to explore physiological birth. Spinning Babies® offers an antidote for fear of birth.
What our Educators say about the training:
“This training gave me the knowledge and confidence to be able to help and empower parents through their pregnancy and birthing experience. I now have a deeper understanding of the techniques and how to properly teach/apply them. Jennifer and Lorenza created a beautiful, fun, loving and welcoming learning environment for us all. I felt very supported throughout. It was also wonderful to meet such a great group of people and be able to network.”
“I love the philosophy on Spinning Babies®. It’s clear and useful. It’s all about the body without ignoring the mindset of the mother.”
