Lamaze is so much more than the breathing techniques it has been known for:

* Lamaze supports safe and healthy births - The best start for mothers and babies includes safe and healthy pregnancies and births. Lamaze can help women achieve this - and help them feel confident about giving birth - by serving as a resource for information about what to expect and what choices are available during the childbirth process.

*  Lamaze can simplify birth - Everyone knows that childbirth can be demanding on a woman's body and mind, but Lamaze can help simplify the process. It promotes a natural approach that alleviates a woman's fears and helps her manage her labor - all with the goal of a safe and healthy birth.

*  Lamaze is evidence-based - Lamaze practices are based on the best medical evidence available, and are designed to promote safe and healthy pregnancies and births.

Classes are held in my comfortable home setting, and in addition to education, participants leave with the class with several items they can use for their pregnancy and birth.  For families with busy schedules, I also offer a live, online Lamaze class which is recorded and available for unlimited viewing at any time.
