Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class
Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class highlights your baby’s active role in birth.
During labor the baby needs to pass through the three levels of the pelvis. Learn techniques to help your pelvis and it’s muscles that support or restrict your pelvic levels. Together, you and your birth partner can use these techniques before and during labor to help “make room for baby!” Spinning Babies® reveals how the baby can find optimal positions for labor, and make birth less painful, and even pleasurable!
This class is only for expectant parents who have already taken some form of childbirth education class.
Designed to help expectant parents navigate pregnancy and birth with evidence-based information, this 2 hour in-person class is taken prenatally, ideally between 12-36 weeks (but anytime is fine!). Singles are welcome to bring a friend, family member, or support person. If you are taking childbirth classes, you do not need to be finished with them to attend.
In this class, you’ll learn:
- A variety of positions to use during labor and birth.
- How to prepare your body for birth
- The role of anatomy, daily activities for comfort, and essential techniques like The Three Balances and Rest Smart
- Exploring the alignment of the womb and pelvis through the lens of the baby’s position
- Comfort in pregnancy and ease in birth
Upon registration you will choose from the following dates:
- October 1st 6pm-8pm

This was incredibly helpful! It was really great to practice positions and it boosted my partner’s confidence in being able to support me. MaryKate’s knowledge of the material makes the material not just digestible, but tangibly practical. Amazing class, we recommend her to all expecting parents we know!
What is Spinning Babies®?
Are you ready for a pregnancy and birthing experience like no other? Say goodbye to discomfort during pregnancy and embrace ease in birth! We are thrilled to introduce you to Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class, a revolutionary approach that is changing Birth on Earth!
Spinning Babies® believes that fetal positions are not random; babies naturally fit the space available to them. But here’s the exciting part: it’s not just about the size of the baby or the pelvis. Birth anatomy can be flexible, and we’re here to show you how.
Led by the brilliant creator Gail Tully, Spinning Babies® offers a fresh and anatomically-based perspective on birth. Our unique approach allows you to see the miracle of birth through a whole new lens. When you attend a Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class, you’ll learn techniques that will forever change the way you think about birth.
So, what’s the secret to an easier birth? It all starts with understanding your baby’s position. By exploring the alignment of the womb and pelvis through the lens of the baby’s position, we uncover valuable insights that guide our preparation. Instead of focusing on how far dilated you are, we shift our attention to finding answers to the questions: Where’s Baby?
Where is the baby positioned? Where is the womb in relation to the pelvis? Which level of the pelvis is the baby maneuvering? These inquiries open up a world of possibilities, allowing us to support physiological birth, reduce fear, and enhance the bond between you and your precious little one.
Spinning Babies® mission is clear: to offer you an easier childbirth with fetal positioning through physiology before force. They’re dedicated to empowering parents and birth professionals worldwide with this groundbreaking knowledge.
So, join us on this incredible journey towards a more comfortable pregnancy and an extraordinary birthing experience. Discover the wonders of Spinning Babies® and unlock the secrets of your baby’s position. Get ready to embrace “Comfort in pregnancy and ease in birth” as we bring physiology first in the way we approach childbirth.
Together, we can make your birth story one for the books!
Birth With Courage vs. Spinning Babies Birth Prep
Which class is right for you?
Both of our classes are designed to help you feel more confident and prepared for birth, but they have different focuses. And there is no “right” way to choose. You can take one, take both, or choose the class that feels most useful to you.
Birth With Courage
Birth With Courage is our comprehensive childbirth education class.
This class focuses on understanding the whole birth experience so you can make informed decisions and feel prepared for whatever your birth looks like.
You will learn about:
- How labor works and what to expect
- Comfort measures and coping techniques
- Birth positions and movement
- Medical interventions and pain management
- Epidurals and cesarean birth
- Communicating with your birth team
- Informed consent and advocacy
- Partner support
- Creating a flexible birth plan
- Preparing emotionally for birth
- What happens after your baby arrives
Our goal is not to tell you how you should give birth. It is to give you information, tools, and confidence so you can make the decisions that are right for you and your family.
Think of Birth With Courage as your childbirth education foundation.
Spinning Babies Birth Prep
Spinning Babies Birth Prep focuses specifically on physical preparation for birth.
You will learn hands on techniques and activities designed to support comfort, balance, mobility, and your baby’s positioning as you prepare for labor.
You will learn:
- Pregnancy positions and movements
- Balance focused activities
- Partner supported techniques
- Ways to support comfort during pregnancy
- Techniques to help prepare your body for birth
- Movements that encourage mobility and space
Think of Spinning Babies as the physical preparation piece.
And yes, Spinning Babies can absolutely be enough!
Maybe you already feel really confident about childbirth.
Maybe you’ve taken a childbirth class before.
Maybe you have had a baby already and don’t feel like you need another comprehensive birth education course.
Maybe you simply want to learn some practical, hands on techniques to help prepare your body.
That is completely okay.
You do not need to take Birth With Courage in order for Spinning Babies Birth Prep to be valuable.
Spinning Babies can be an incredibly useful class all on its own. You will walk away with practical techniques you can actually use during pregnancy and practice with your partner.
There is no prize for taking the most classes.
Choose the education that fills the gap you actually have.
