Testimonials
"My husband and I took this class together. I had a lot of anxiety about labor and delivery before we took the class. I can say for sure that this class is the #1 reason I am going into my 3rd trimester and approaching labor and delivery with confidence."
Ashley
"I was preparing to give birth to my second baby and did not have a great first birth experience. I felt very confident after taking Genny's class and was able to have the natural birth I wanted."
Victoria
"Going into pregnancy I knew nothing about childbirth! Genny laid out the tools from epidural to hospital birth to how to change positions during contractions to find that relief and strength within. I felt prepared for any outcome after taking her class."
Mara
Thank you so much for the support and everything you taught us! Just when I was about to give up, my partner remembered what you taught us. I snapped out of it, dimmed the lights, played some peaceful music and birthed my baby without an epidural!

Will I learn how to have a natural birth?
I believe that every person has their own unique path. Instead of focusing on medicated vs. unmediated birth, I focus on giving you tools and helping you learn the evidence, so that you can decide what feels right for your family.
The Lamaze Way
1. Birth is normal, natural, healthy, & safe.
2. Women have an innate ability to give birth.
3. The experience of birth profoundly affects women and their families.
4. Women's confidence & ability to give birth is enhanced or diminished by the care provider & place of birth.
5. Women have the right to give birth free from routine medical interventions.
6. Birth can safely take place in homes, birth centers and hospitals.
