We were thrilled to host a Spinning Babies Foundational Workshop in Kalamazoo this week, with none other than founder Gail Tully! Our doula Izzy Harper took the lead on planning, with support from Jessica. Many of our doulas attended to broaden their toolbox to support families, along with colleagues from Milk Like Mine and Rootead, as well as other independent birthworkers from around SW Michigan and the state. Special thanks goes to Cradle Kalamazoo for providing partial scholarships for area doulas, which made this incredible training more attainable for so many of us. Making more space for babies to rotate and be born with ease can help prevent cesareans, vacuum and forceps, prolonged labor and all the accompanying complications and risks. Here’s to new knowledge and tools to make more space for babies to (hopefully!) be born with ease.
