Childbirth session with me are are more than just Lamaze.  Lamaze incorporates many different styles of teaching into their programs.  I am constantly re-educating myself to provide quality, up to date and interesting classes for a pregnant woman and her partner.  These classes offer an integrated and enjoyable experience, very different from the classes that "everyone else" is taking.

The Lamaze philosophy of birth is that birth is a normal, natural and healthy event.  The is the basis for Young4Ever Childbirth Edcuation.  The experience of birth profoundly affects women and their families. A Woman's inner wisdom guides her through labour and birth.  We believe that a woman's confidence and ability to give birth is either enhanced or diminished by the care provider and place of birth; a woman has the right to give birth free from routine medical interventions; that birth can safely take place in homes, birth centers and hospitals.

Finally the Young4ever and Lamaze philosophy is founded on the belief that childbirth education empowers women to make informed choices in health care, to assume responsibility for their health and to trust their inner wisdom.

Young4Ever childbirth preparation sessions are offered in a class setting or privately at your convenience, and are designed for couples looking for an empowering childbirth education series. We also offer breastfeeding sessions supported by the Lamaze philosophy and based on the World Health Organization's mandate for the establishment of successful breastfeeding.   Please visit our Childbirth Education page for more information.
