What is Lamaze?
Evidence Based Practice in Pregnancy & Childbirth
Lamaze has summed up years of research into 6 Healthy Birth Practices:
1) Let Labor Begin on its own
2) Have Freedom of Movement
3) Have continuous Support
4) Avoid Unnecessary Interventions
5) Upright & Spontaneous Pushing
6) Keep Mom & Baby together.
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.
Testimonials
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.
