Spinning Babies® provides parents and providers with a unique perspective on physiological childbirth—one that inspires and empowers them to fully understand the relationship between body and child in order to experience their best possible pregnancy and labor. We are a global community of parents and providers founded on mutual support and on a stronger bond of love between parent and child.

We recommend techniques, daily activities and exercises, and maternal and fetal positions, which are beneficial in pregnancy and childbirth to support a smooth and comfortable pregnancy while making space for baby’s best birth position.

Spinning Babies® is how we are Changing Birth on Earth.

We are in the afterglow of a full training season packed with doula work, birth knowledge, some tears, joy, connection, meaningful exercises and golden nuggets of insight.

We wish you all a wonderful summer and days filled with relaxation and laughter.

In September we look forward to welcoming a lovely new group of students. If you are looking for embodied learning, connective communication, birth wisdom (old and new) and self development, you are in the right place at BiA.

We zijn nog aan het nagenieten van een trainingsseizoen gevuld met doula werk, kennis over geboorte, plezier, soms wat tranen, verbinding, zinvolle oefeningen en 'golden nuggets' van inzicht.

We wensen jullie allemaal een heerlijke zomer en dagen gevuld met ontspanning en veel schaterlachen.

In september kijken we er naar uit om een enthousiaste nieuwe groep studenten te verwelkomen. Als je op zoek bent naar 'embodied learning', verbindende communicatie, geboortewijsheid (oud en nieuw) en zelfontwikkeling, dan ben je bij BiA op de juiste plek.

I had the honour to be a speaker at the Spinning Babies World Confluence this month. One of my topics was sharing our vision for the Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educator Program.

Spinning Babies® has developed the 3 hour Parent Class to bring practical knowledge of anatomy, physiology and activities for more comfort in pregnancy and ease of birth directly into the hands of pregnant parents.

In these uncertain times, I'm offering both in person private Spinning Babies® Parent Classes as well Online Guided Parent Classes. You can watch the Parent Class video first and then I will give you an individualised session together with your partner/birth support person.

It is an interesting phenomenon.. the current frenzy of media attention in the Netherlands about the unwelcome, unnecessary and interfering doula...

Here is the thing. Doula support is evidence base care.
The interest in having a doula is increasing because there is need for continuous support. The evidence says it improves the birthing persons experience and reduces the chance of interventions. NOT because we intervene in medical care. Often simply because calm, continuous physical and emotional support from someone who is not a member of the medical team reduces the chance that interventions are needed. Birth is a physiological process that can easily be helped or hindered by those providing care. Which also makes it paramount that we form a supportive team to offer individualised and respectful care.

Perhaps situations that are more complex for providers and doulas is when clients are well informed, clear they want their voice heard, and may have needs that are outside of the standard protocols. The doula can then be seen as "interfering" when she facilitates and supports open communication between a client and care provider. I support the birthing person in their right to make their own decisions about their body and baby.

As professionals we, like any other are not above scrutiny. I would encourage any birthing person and any birth professional to have an open dialogue with a doula if the care and communication were not a positive experience. And the professional association of doulas (NBvD Doula Nederland) is also there if feedback or a complaint is warranted. We can only improve our work and our working relationships through open and transparent dialogue.

How was your experience working with me? My door is always open for feedback and discussion. I also promise that after every birth I attend, self reflection is part of my process. I learn and grow with each family I support.

When doulas, midwives, obyns and nurses are all working together for and with the labouring person (and partner), something changes. There is trust and a feeling of teamwork, which serves the woman giving birth.

There are just a couple more days to book a spot for the Spinning Babies virtual confluence. It is REALLY worth it! I have been seeing bits and pieces of the recorded sessions coming in to be added to the platform and they are SOOOO good. Do you want to know about breech birth, breech body balancing? Informed consent- and also going beyond informed consent to what is embodied consent. Self-care, bodywork in pregnancy, orthro-bionomy, chiropractic, yoga, dancing- there is something for everyone! Shoulder dystocia, posterior presentation, using Spinning Babies with an Epidural? AND SOOO MUCH MORE!

Do you want to dive deeper into the Spinning Babies paradigm?The online platform for the conference not only allows you to watch the 56 hours of live content, but also gives you a further 30 days of playback access. There are also chances for round tables with the Spinning Babies Trainers, Q&A's, and networking with hundreds of birthkeepers from around the world!

Seriously... you don't want to miss it!

You can now attend the Spinning Babies® 2020 World Confluence via Livestream, delivering the expertise you would expect in-person, but with the safety of physical distancing at home.
