Helping Your Baby Navigate the Pelvis with Nicole Morales and Gail Tully

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal

My guests today are some of the more important voices in birthwork in the United States today. Gail Tully is the founder of Spinning Babies®. Nicole Morales is a Spinning Babies® instructor and author of several books. Both of these women attend home births, and both fully embody informed consent and an individualized approach to maternity care. In this conversation, we get into positioning, movement, and breath to have a more easy birth, methods for getting your baby situated in the pelvis appropriately, and we even get into a soft debate around dogmatic concepts like “cardinal movements” and breech being a “variation of normal”. I love both Gail and Nicole so dearly, and I’m so excited that they’re going to be educated at the upcoming 2024 Born Free Twins-Breech. Grab your ticket before we fill up!
