Vibwife - bewegt Geburten, Hornbachstrasse 22, Zürich (2026)

13/08/2026

Labour asks something of you that nothing else does: to go inward while everything around you keeps happening.

When it works, there's a shift. You stop bracing against the wave and start riding it from inside your body.

The hard part isn't finding that state. It's staying in it.

It breaks when you have to change positions. When your legs are heavy. When it's 3am and you don't have the energy to sway yourself anymore.

That's the gap Vibwife, the world's first birth mobility system, was built for: gentle movement that simply keeps going, hour after hour, when you're too tired to move yourself.

And it isn't only movement. There are guided meditations built to match each movement pattern - so the voice in your ears and the rhythm in your pelvis are saying the same thing at the same time. You'll hear a piece of one in the background here.

Four rhythms, four different invitations to your body:

1️⃣ 𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 & 𝐉𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞
Soft setting: close to "The Jiggle" from Spinning Babies®. Stronger setting: closer to "Shaking the Apple Tree" 🍎, used by midwives around the world. The oscillations reach muscles, fascia and ligaments you cannot consciously tense and release. In our clinical study, more than 90% of mothers reported feeling relaxed (Monod et al. 2021).

2️⃣ 𝐑𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲
Creates asymmetry in your pelvis, which can open space in the midpelvis. Traditional midwives have worked this way for generations - the rebozo manteada in Mexico and Latin America is one example.

3️⃣ 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲
The figure-eight your pelvis already makes when you walk. Kneeling with your upper body heavy on a beanbag or birth ball, it can move more freely. Many women describe it as soothing for lower back discomfort and it was the most chosen pattern in our study.

4️⃣ 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲
Side-lying. Slow, continuous changes in the angle of your pelvis while you rest. Rest is not a pause from labour - it's part of it.

Fair question: "Where is the movement actually coming from?" From the outside, it looks like a bed.

In this video I'm showing one position only: hands and knees. There are several more — side-lying, sitting, upright — and each one changes where the movement lands. Today, just this one.

On hands and knees, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹. The movement doesn't come from the whole mattress, but from one defined zone. Place your knees on it, and it travels up your thigh bones, into your hip joints, into your pelvis.

Why that can matter:

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗲. It's a ring with joints that can shift by a few millimetres - often all a baby needs.
Shift your knees slightly and the sensation changes. You stay in charge of that.
Nothing pushes your baby. The movement invites space; your baby uses it in their own way.

And none of the four movements are new. They are old midwife knowledge, built into a mattress:

1️⃣ Vibrations & Jiggle - on the knees, this imitates "shaking the apple tree", a traditional technique for releasing muscle tension.
2️⃣ Rocking Baby - creates asymmetry, so your baby has room to rotate.
3️⃣ Infinite Harmony - a figure-8 that mirrors the mechanics of walking.
4️⃣ Sleeping Beauty - side-lying, moving the pelvis gently for hours, even while you rest.

The idea came from a moment during my training: a woman arrived fully dilated, her baby's head still high after hours - and after a bumpy ambulance ride, her baby was almost born. Movement had done it. From 2014 I started building it, tested through night shifts in real birthing rooms and shaped together with engineers, researchers and many, many midwives.

One thing I want to say clearly: I never invented this to replace a midwife's, L&D nurse's or caregiver's hands. I'm a midwife myself. I know what those hands can do. But I also know there isn't always time, and one pair of hands can't jiggle for six hours. Vibwife is here to extend them when they're needed.

Not everyone wants to be touched in labour. And that's not something to fix. It's something to honour.

Some of you shared this with me last week: hands on your body during contractions felt like too much. One of you described smacking a midwife's hand away when she reached in with the doppler. Another said she wanted movement without someone's hands on her at all.

I hear you. 🤍

Here's what I mean, simple and real:
Gentle, rhythmic jiggling helps in labour because of mechanics.

1️⃣ It softens the muscles around your pelvis and lower back, so your sacrum has room to move.
2️⃣ It gives your nervous system a steady, predictable rhythm, a quiet cue that you're safe enough to let go.
3️⃣ It makes space for the baby to move down.

For many women, the most beautiful way to find that rhythm is through touch: A partner swaying with you. A doula's hands. A rebozo wrapped around your hips, rocking you gently side to side. Touch can be how you feel seen, held, safe.

And for others – especially if your body carries memories that make touch feel like pressure instead of comfort – those same hands can pull you out of yourself rather than deeper in.

Both are completely valid. Comfort + consent first, always.

This is one of the reasons we built Vibwife jiggle to have a choice.

You lean into what you feel. The soothing rhythm is yours and the remote stays in your hand. You set the speed. You set the intensity. No one reaching in, no hand to wave away. Just you, your breath, and a rhythm you control.

Birth isn't about doing it right. It's about having options and the room to do it your way.

What helps you feel safe in your body: touch, rhythm, water, breath, or space? Let's exchange in the comments. 🫶

Pleasure in birth? We rarely say those two words together. Let's change that — starting somewhere simple: vibration.

Your body can only notice so much at once. A strong, steady sensation like vibration gives your brain less room to register pain like rubbing a sore spot to take the edge off.

Researchers call it the "gate control" of pain: the buzz helps close the gate.

Vibration also helps your muscles let go and your nervous system settle — and a calm body releases more oxytocin, the hormone that keeps labour flowing.

That's why words on vibration meant so much to me. For 30+ years, across 40+ countries, she's brought comfort, relaxation and yes, pleasure back into birth:

Lamaze educator, doula trainer, and the voice behind the documentary .
Here's how she'd explain it: pleasure in birth isn't indulgent – it's physiology.

The same hormone behind love and closeness, oxytocin, is the one that drives labour forward. Feel safe, calm, even good, and oxytocin and endorphins rise; fear and tension do the opposite, tightening everything and sharpening pain.

So comfort and pleasure aren't a distraction from birth, they're part of how it's meant to work. Vibration is one gentle way in. As Debra says, it brings "relaxation which adds to comfort" — "just the way our brains work."

This is exactly what we built Vibwife for.

Gentle, rhythmic vibration is built right into the birthing bed and with the remote control, you change the speed or intensity yourself, at any point in labour. More when you need it, less when you don't – your rhythm, your choice.

In our own clinical study, 9 in 10 women who used Vibwife said they'd use it again (Monod et al., 2021).

None of this replaces your choices — epidural, medication, whatever feels right is yours. Just one more layer of support.

Save this for your birth prep and tell us, what helps your body relax? 💬

Thank you, Debra, for testing Vibwife and sharing these beautiful words with me. 🤍

I'm too small. My baby's too big. Those are beliefs that limit a woman.

I understand the fear behind these statements. It feels like your body is a fixed size your baby has to fit through.

Here's what I explained to her:
Your pelvis isn't one solid bone. It's a ring held together by movable joints and in pregnancy, your hormones are quietly getting them ready.

1️⃣ Your p***c symphysis: at the front, where the two halves meet. It can soften and widen, opening the front a little.

2️⃣ Your sacroiliac (SI) joints: at the back, where your sacrum meets your hip bones. They grow more mobile, so your sacrum can rock and open the canal.

3️⃣ Your sacrococcygeal joint: where your sacrum meets your tailbone. It can flex so the tailbone moves out of the way, making room at the outlet as baby comes through.

Pregnancy hormones soften the ligaments around these joints, so they have more give than usual. Your pelvis can flex, open, and change shape as you move.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:
👉🏻 Upright or leaning forward, these joints can open the space your baby travels through.
👉🏻 Upright, gravity helps too – gently encouraging baby down into the pelvis.
👉🏻 "Fit" isn't about how big you look on the outside. It's about space on the inside and that space can change.

This is where Vibwife comes in. Its gentle, rhythmic movement integrated into the birthing bed like small sways and jiggles can help you stay mobile and relaxed in these positions. So your pelvis can do what it's already prepared to do.

And this isn't about whether you "need" a caesarean. Some babies do, and that's safe, important care – no judgment, ever. It's about knowing your body isn't as fixed as that fear can make it feel.

Midwives & birth teams: want to see the gentle movement of Vibwife up close? You can book a free online demo — I'd love to walk you through it.

Your birth position isn't just about comfort. It changes the shape of your pelvis.

Watch the video closely.

The woman at the beginning is in a position many of us recognise: sitting back, leaning away from the work, knees wide open. It looks familiar. It looks like birth is "supposed to" look.

But here's what's happening in her pelvis: that position narrows the space at the pelvic outlet. Less room for the baby to move through.

Then watch what shifts.

Another woman moves to her knees, leans forward onto the ball, chest low. And here's the detail that matters: knees closer together, feet wider apart.

That rotation of the femur - inward, gentle, no forcing - opens the lower pelvis. More space exactly where the baby's head needs it most.

This is especially powerful in the final pushes, when the baby is low and the outlet is everything.

This is the principle Vibwife is built on. Its four movements each create a different kind of space, depending on where your baby is and what's needed in that moment:

Infinite Harmony: a figure-8 motion that improves pelvic flexibility, like the natural movement of walking

Sleeping Beauty: a gentle side-to-side shift that changes the pelvis angle and helps the baby move down

Rocking Baby: creates subtle asymmetry in the pelvis, giving the baby room to descend and rotate

Vibrations & Jiggle: helps calming the nervous system and releases muscle tension so the body can open

A regular birthing bed holds one position at a time. Vibwife keeps the pelvis moving - with epidural or monitoring - so the space isn't static either.

Your pelvis isn't fixed. It's a multilevel ring with joints that respond to how you move.

We're happy to know that 90% of mothers who used Vibwife said they'd choose it again (Monod et al., 2021).

Think of your baby like a car stuck in mud: you can't always just push harder to get out. Sometimes you have to reverse first.

Just like in labour sometimes: moving backward is the only way to move forward

That's exactly the logic behind the Forward Leaning Inversion (FLI): head down, hips up and Vibwife jiggles on.

Comment HOSPITAL, if you want Vibwife in your birthing unit.

And yes, the comment of one person in our last reel is valid:
Why would you add this to an already intense labour?

Here's the honest answer: most of the time, you wouldn't.
But sometimes labour stalls because your baby is in a position that doesn't allow for optimal rotation or descent. When that happens, gravity in the opposite direction can be exactly what creates the shift.

Here's what can happen during a Forward Leaning Inversion:

👉🏻 Baby is gently lifted out of the pelvis so it can fall into a better position
👉🏻 The uterine ligaments get a chance to release and resettle
👉🏻 By creating more room and supporting balance, the FLI can help the baby flex – tuck the chin – so the smallest diameter of the head can present.

It's not about forcing. It's about adding balance and creating space for your baby to find their way.

And here's what makes this more accessible than it sounds: combining inversions with Vibwife jiggles can help labouring women to relax their whole body and mind. Midwives can integrate the inversion and jiggles without strain, even on their most busy shifts.

We've been birthing a lot of babies last week at the ICM in Lisbon 🤍

The ICM brought together some of the most experienced midwives in the world and they found their way to our stand.

And when they tried Vibwife – the jiggles, the inversion, the figure eight for lower back pain – their first instinct was to turn around and call their colleagues over.

One of them said what we never say about ourselves:

"This is amazing."

Another described something we hear often, but never get tired of:

"The pelvis is being jiggled, without the distraction of somebody's hand on me."

That sentence captures something real. Hands-free support for movement. The physiology, without the fatigue.

To every midwife who stopped and tried: thank you for your honest reaction. It means everything coming from you. 🙌🏼

If you've supported a birth or gave birth yourself, what is/was your biggest barrier to mobility?

Thank you , alle the midwives, , , .menezes.parteira and so many more. 🙏🏻

Hari ini di acara ICM, saya berkesempatan nyobain bed persalinan masa depan! Luar biasa! Karena jujur bed ini sangat menguntungkan baik untuk klien (ibu lahiran), dan bahkan untuk bidannya! Karena sangat memudahkan dan meringankan kerjaan bidan.
Bednya bisa dipake buat rebozo, goyang panggul, bahkan berbagai posisi lahiran pun bisa difasilitasi.
Ini akan jadi wishlist ku! Semoga suatu saat klinik Bidan Kita bisa beli bed ini.

Today at ICM, I had the chance to try out the birthing bed of the future! Incredible! Because honestly, this bed is such a benefit – both for the client (the birthing mother) and even for the midwife! Because it makes a midwife’s work so much easier and lighter.
The bed can be used for jiggles, pelvic rocking, and it can even facilitate a wide variety of birthing positions.
This is going on my wishlist! I hope that one day the Bidan Kita clinic can get this bed.

Your pelvis knows more than one rhythm.

Birth isn’t static and neither is your pelvis.

Vibwife is the world’s first birth mobility system, bringing gentle movement into labour, even when walking, changing positions, or resting becomes difficult.

Here are four movement patterns you can explore:

1️⃣ *Infinite Harmony*
Inspired by the natural figure-eight movement your pelvis makes while walking.

When you’re kneeling with your upper body fully supported by a beanbag, or birth ball, your pelvis can move with greater freedom. Many women describe this movement as especially soothing for lower back discomfort.

This figure-eight motion can be used in almost any birth position and was the most frequently chosen movement pattern in our clinical study (Monod et al. 2021).

2️⃣ *Vibrations & Jiggle*

Helps relax your muscles, fascia, and ligaments - including tissues you cannot consciously tense and release.

In the soft setting, the movement is similar to “The Jiggle” described by Spinning Babies®️. The gentle oscillations travel through your body and may support relaxation and nervous system regulation.

In the stronger setting, it resembles “Shaking the Apple Tree” 🍎🍏 - a rhythmic technique used by midwives around the world to encourage relaxation and release tension throughout the body.

In our clinical study, more than 90% of mothers reported feeling relaxed while using Vibwife (Monod et al. 2021).

3️⃣ *Sleeping Beauty*
Designed for side-lying positions.

Even while resting, Vibwife gently changes the angle and orientation of your pelvis through slow, continuous movement. This allows mobility to continue during long labours when conserving energy becomes important.

Especially during longer births, it can help you rest without becoming completely still.

4️⃣ *Rocking Baby*
Inspired by traditional mobilization techniques such as the Mexican rebozo.

This gentle movement creates asymmetry in your pelvis, helping create space in the midpelvis - one of the narrowest spaces your baby navigates during birth.
