Have you taken a Spinning Babies® Foundational Workshop and used our approach at births? Do you love how Spinning Babies® has enhanced your skills and knowledge in supporting birthing families, but there have been times when you didn't get the desired results--leaving you to ask the question "Why"?Our advanced Integration Workshop builds on the Foundation curriculum by offering a deeper dive into the Spinning Babies® approach. Through case studies, enhanced hands-on practice, and interactive small group discussions, this workshop hones your skills to enhance your practice and improve birth outcomes.
The Spinning Babies® Integration Workshop begins with a review of the Spinning Babies® paradigm, builds upon previous understanding and expands your knowledge:
Refine your use of The Three Balances SM
- A deeper look at the anatomy of birth
- Extensive discussion and practical adoption of the Pelvic Levels Solutions SM
- Describe signs and symptoms of anatomical imbalances that affect pregnancy and labor
- Comprehensive birth case studies
- Respond to common barriers to integrating Spinning Babies® into practice: epidurals, second stage, communication skills, and more!
What Makes This Workshop Special
Upon completing the Integration Workshop, you are qualified to apply to become a Spinning Babies® Certified Birth Professional. To achieve this status, you must register to complete the online learning and assessments and pay the certification fee of $250, which covers the first two years!

About the Trainer - Tema Mercado
Tema Mercado is a Midwife (LM, CPM), mother to six children and a grandmother. She believes that birth work can change the world and has dedicated the last 13 years to birth and reproductive justice on the U.S Mexico Border serving families on both sides of the border.\Spinning Babies® as a concept and practice came to Tema early on in her student midwife journey. She connected with Nicole Morales and through her mentorship, Tema began to view birth through a different lens. Spinning Babies® is a paradigm shift on how we understand and assist different forms of pregnancy discomfort. One of the fundamental approaches in this practice asks, ”where is the baby?” in relation to the levels of the pelvis. It decentralizes questions about cervix dilation which expands our capacity to support complications in births like labor dystocia, shoulder dystocia and breech birth. The expansiveness in Spinning Babies® and its commitment of restoring balance in pregnancy aligned with Tema’s ancestral midwifery knowledge that was passed down from her Partera ancestors. Tema feels honored to be part of a collective of people supporting the training. She looks forward to traveling and learning from her future Spinning Babies® workshop participants. If you are curious about the work Tema offers in the community, you can visit her website http://www.lamatrizbirth.com/ and her IG page @matrizmidwife.
