Integrating a New Paradigm

The Spinning Babies® 4th annual conference brings birth professionals online to integrate a paradigm of Physiology Before Force℠. How do we prioritize physiology when a pregnancy or labor needs our support? Physiology can mean more than “natural birth”. Enjoy new discoveries in anatomy, hormones, and techniques. Our changing world needs a third perspective, one where physiology informs the way to balance.


Attend Online

Attend from the comfort of home and connect with other midwives, labor and delivery nurses, physicians, doulas, childbirth educators, and pregnancy-focused bodyworkers. Meet and learn from international speakers and our Approved Trainers who will take the Spinning Babies® concepts further into informed application. Benefit from a new birth perspective that midwives and nurses say “blew my mind” and “changed my practice even after 20 years of practice.”
