“Giving Birth Should Be Your Greatest Achievement - Not Your Greatest Fear”
New, holistic childbirth education curriculum being written and developed with all the need to knows, but with an extraordinary amount of nice to knows incorporated (relaxation, mindfulness, homeopathic preparations, Bach flower essences, supplements, extension on nutrition, aromatherapy oils, birth doula’s, journalling and more….) Be armed with knowledge and an abundance of confidence!
Lamaze Childbirth Education - A first in NZ!
Lamaze has a primary goal - to build a mother's confidence in her ability to give birth. This is achieved through the presentation of evidence-based childbirth education classes. Lamaze supports pregnant women’s understanding of how to cope with pain in ways that both facilitate labour and promote comfort, through supportive relaxation techniques, movement and massage.
Based on the six healthy birth practices - Lamaze Childbirth Education is a first in NZ!
Healthy Birth Practice 1: Let labour begin on its own.
Healthy Birth Practice 2: Walk, move around and change positions throughout labour.
Healthy Birth Practice 3: Bring a loved one, friend or doula for continuous support.
Healthy Birth Practice 4: Avoid interventions that are not medically necessary.
Healthy Birth Practice 5: Avoid giving birth on your back and follow your body's urges to push.
Healthy Birth Practice 6: Keep mother and baby together — it's best for mother, baby and breastfeeding.
Currently the only certified Lamaze Childbirth Educator in NZ (LCCE), my classes are evidence based and realistic - with a holistic undertone (see below).
I completed my training in Brisbane 2018, through Tanya Strusberg @BirthwellBirthright & became certified in July 2019.

“Birth goes best if it is not intruded upon by strange people and strange events. It goes best when a woman feels safe enough and free enough to abandon herself to the process”
