For Providers

If you are a member of the birth community; Physician, Nurse, CNM or doula, we would love to teach you, your group or your peers, the anatomy and physiology behind Gilligan’s Guide. This class will be centered around how to help Prevent malpositioning of the fetus, how to help you Identify the malposition and then how to Improve the fetal position, using Gilligan’s Guide.

Our information is based on Evidence and supported by many published articles that we site and bring to class for those to reference.

We can do these trainings online via meeting platforms or in person depending on your needs and wishes.

Classes will be taught by Ann Gilligan (founder) or her amazing Ambassadors, Ebonie, Lauren or Crista.

Licensing our 34-Week Homework

Licensing our Breech Protocol

We have created a safe and effective way to allow baby to turn from breech to cephalic (head down). If after 34 weeks pregnant and baby is still breech, we recommend using our protocol to enhance the space needed for this change in fetal presentation.

If you are now 36 weeks plus and discussing an external cephalic version with your provider, our ECV protocol will enhance the relaxation and space needed for this medical procedure to have a higher chance of success. Please involve your medical provider with this information ahead of the procedure.

What People Are Saying

Real stories from parents and providers who have experienced the benefits of Gilligan's Guide.

  • Now we have a beautiful baby in the NICU and she’s small but mighty! I really couldn’t have done this without you - you created such a calming and confident environment to bring her earth side. Love you and thank you 🤍

    -client Catherine

  • She did it! Over 60 hours since her first contractions and 12 hours since she went to the hospital. After texting you, I encouraged her to get up and move and they let her go in the tub and then she started actually making progress and he is here and everyone is safe. 100% unmedicated.

    -a sister to a pregnant person

  • The patient for the speculum (PROM) said “this was so much better” and even just visually watching both exams before cradle and after cradle it was night and day.

    -RN Katie

  • Pushing went great and he was in a perfect position by the time they checked me and I was +2, 10cm and 0 station! We really think it’s because I had my homework from you and did it diligently. Changed positions every 15 mins.

    -client Maggie

  • I have used the Guide 3 times in the last 3 days, all clients delivered vaginally. So empowering. All my coworkers are FIRM believers now.

    -RN Lauren

  • Wanting to share that in 100% of the last 7 births where I have used Gilligan’s Guide, mom was complete and +2 (and in al but one, had baby in her arms) within 7 hours of initially using the Guide. So thankful for you sharing your knowledge and being a resource.
