Lamaze Method with Rachael
Feel confident and prepared to navigate your unique path to giving birth.
Decrease feelings of fear and uncertainty by increasing your knowledge and skills for giving birth.
Feel more confident and trusting of yourself and your abilities to give birth on your terms and in a way that aligns best with you.
Here you will learn what is normal, safe, and healthy for pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond so that you know what to realistically expect during this time and how to address and navigate issues as they arise.
Fill your “tool bag” with helpful tips and resources so that you can navigate your non-linear and unpredictable path to giving birth.
How labor and birth will unfold is unpredictable but you can choose to start increasing your knowledge base, getting more curious about the process and learning your options (YES, you have LOTS of options and rights over your body and baby) plus how to fine tune your intuition so that you begin to trust it more because that will serve you for the rest of your life.
By leaning in and choosing to learn more, you will significantly reduce your fear, worry, and uncertainty and ultimately have a birth that is safer, healthier, and happier.
This matters because how you feel about your birth will last a lietime.
Let’s work together to ensure you have the best birth available to you!

I am a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator. Lamaze is the only accredited childbirth education organization in the United States.
The certification process is rigorous, thorough, and comprehensive. I completed my Lamaze certification in 2020…thank you pandemic!
The Your Birth Your Way Online Childbirth Education Course follows the evidence-based 6 Healthy Birth Practices laid out by Lamaze International:
Let Labor Begin On Its Own
Walk, Move Around, Change Positions During Labor
Continuous Support From a Loved One, Friend, or Doula
Avoid Interventions That Are Not Medically Necessary
Avoid Giving Birth On Your Back and Follow Your Body's Urge to Push
Keep Mother and Baby Together
Lamaze doesn't focus on giving birth a certain way…they focus on providing evidence-based information to help you make decisions that align best with you and your unique circumstances.
This is one of the reasons I chose to align with Lamaze International. I also chose Lamaze International becuase it has the most strenuous certification process and I knew I wanted to have the most well-known and respected organization for childbirth education behind me so that I can provide the best educational experience possible to the birthing people who choose my class.
I believe in their philosophy on giving birth. Being a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator means it is my responsibility and commitment to provide an educational experience that helps you advocate for yourself along your journey to giving birth as well as implement these 6 healthy birth practices for a healthier, safer, and more satisfying birth experience.
