Tucson, AZ - Spinning Babies® Foundational Workshop w/ Tammy - July 7, 2026

Spinning Babies® begins with fetal rotation to reveal the lesser known physiology of birth anatomy. Your passion, our approach. Start seeing solutions in labor progress with this new lens on childbirth. After this workshop you will be able to:
- Facilitate comfort in pregnancy and ease in childbirth for your clients
- Identify issues faster; gentle actions to shorten a long labor or avoid a cesarean
- Use less(or no) force to resolve malposition and labor dystocia
And much, much more!
