A new study published in the European Journal of Midwifery highlights that when babies find their best position for birth, labor may feel smoother and more comfortable and the Spinning Babies® approach may support this natural process.

The study showed that when midwives offered Spinning Babies® techniques, 93 out of 100 babies rotated into an easier position for birth, compared to just 64 out of 100 without them.

Every birth is unique, but this research affirms what so many parents and professionals experience: gentle practices of Balance, Gravity and Movement℠ may bring more comfort and ease to labor.

🧬 Landmark research led by Dr. Ali Jawaid, a Poland-based Pakistani neuroscientist, has identified epigenetic signatures of childhood trauma in human breast milk — and their connection to newborns’ behavior.

Published in Translational Psychiatry, the top journal in its field, this discovery reveals how emotional experiences can imprint themselves at a molecular level, shaping not just our own biology, but the generations that follow.

A powerful reminder that healing ourselves is also healing the future. 💫

Did you know the local hospital’s C-section rates are 34 and 40 percent?

The better question, is how can we collectively bring these numbers down?
