Hi friends,
I’ve been busy this year diving into trainings to become a Spinning Babies Parent Educator. The Spinning Babies approach helps us teach our pregnancy clients how to bring ease into pregnancy and birth. How to make more room for baby, bring suppleness into your body, balance into your pelvis and fascial network. Understanding how to support the beautiful tool that is you through this whole process and have a more embodied and empowered pregnancy and birth! I hope all of you sign up to study this approach with me or one of my wonderful colleagues!
I’ll also be heading out for a training in Spinning Babies for bodywork in March, I’m equally excited to learn even more deeply how to use these techniques to support my massage and induction work.
Gift certificate and online booking are now available at prenatalmassage.genbook.com
Happy holidays!
Bonnie

Just completed an amazing 2 day training in spinning babies! So incredible to learn all the ways to create optimal pelvic balance for birth. I feel like my massage and doula work is going to be so transformed by this training!

We honor the womb from where you came.

Happy Mother’s / nurturers / peace/ partners/ parents Day to all those who have birthed or raised or nurtured in whatever way you have!

The gate control theory teaches us that gripping a comb during labor can lessen the pain of contractions. It’s a tool that many of the best doulas use in supporting birthers.
The success of this small trick is thought to be both in part credited to acupressure points in the hands, (yes there are many!) and due to the fact that the nerve receptors in the hands are much closer to the brain than those in the uterus/lower back/ pelvic floor region.
Additionally focus and distraction is often helpful. Gripping anything, even a towel (in a pinch) can help.
The wonderful thing about the comb technique is that it’s easily accessible and hugely successful!
Try this for your labor!

Wisconsin doula Jen Davel of Fox Valley Birth and Baby has shared a simple labor pain technique that involves a hair comb.

“First off, Bonnie is amazing. Her patience and ability to explain things was second to none, which is exactly what we needed after long work days. She kept the classes interesting and really seems to love what she does and genuinely cared about us and our success. Her class was more than just a collection of techniques that could be read in a book. From her we gained a very strong sense of confidence that we could have a positive birth experience and learned so much that we were excited to share with other expecting parents. It is amazing how little we really knew about childbirth, outside of what we have seen on TV and heard (in bed, on your back, medicated, yet screaming in pain) … and this wasn’t even our first birth! My husband and I felt fully prepared and actually excited to go through the birthing process this time around and to use the techniques we learned while taking hypnobirthing classes with Bonnie. Yes … my husband too. He learned so much and really was great...”- Meghan A

I love this review! It speaks so deeply to me about what hypnobirthing is and what it brings not just to the birthing person but to their partner in ways of learning birth support. It’s everything I want to bring as a teacher!
Meghan went on to tell me that the scripted practice of deep relaxation completely changed her birthing experience. She could feel her pelvic floor relaxing with each repetition. HypnoBirthing is not just a class series teaching you about birth, it’s a class teaching you a practice that can change your birth experience.
I hope you join us for a class! Go to
