Reno's Only Lamaze
Childbirth Class!
Lamaze childbirth education courses will cover all things birth related, including nutrition, comfort measures, pelvic floor function, postpartum planning, baby care, perinatal mental health, stages of labor, emotional preparation, resilience building, advocating for yourself, and more. The course is designed for families planning both hospital or home births. The series is taught by two of our Reno area midwives.
Lamaze International is a nonprofit organization that promotes a natural, healthy, and safe approach to pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenting. Lamaze education and practices are based on the best and most current medical evidence available and help families advocate for the care and experience they prefer. Lamaze is the gold standard in childbirth education. Historically, Lamaze has been known for its breathing techniques. Today’s classes focus on the evidence-based Six Healthy Birth Practices and providing parents with a variety of comfort techniques.
