What is Body Balancing?
A Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner session is about bringing balance, options and space to the pregnant body. Fetal position isn’t something to fix but to understand and support. Body Balancing allows this opportunity through active positions and gentle soft tissue releases with the goal of trusting baby knows where to be.
Breech Support
The sudden news of a breech position can be an emotional place with little options. A Body Balancing Session is a strong resource and a good place to start. It provides education and hands-on bodywork. Body Balancing is also an effective tool prior to an External Cephalic Version (ECV).
What is a Spinning Babies® Session Like?
During our initial time we will go over your intake paperwork to provide any important information about your pregnancy. We will also discuss fetal position. If you are a client at 24 weeks or a client at 34 weeks carrying breech we will set some goals together before we begin the hands-on soft tissue work. Our goals vary based on where you are in your pregnancy and what the position of baby is. If you are carrying breech, or suspect you are, you will come with confirmation from your provider before we begin our work together. The hands-on work is both relaxing and informative for you. It is also an opportunity to bring ease to your nervous system. These appointments are generally up to two hours long. Since this work is intended for you to continue at home, most find that one session is sufficient. That being said every body is different and follow up sessions are available as needed.
