Lamaze of West Michigan

"Diane’s classes were extremely helpful for me and my partner. She is very passionate about what she does and she really cares about her clients. Her classes are one on one and she takes the time to answer any questions you may have. She helped me tremendously with breastfeeding after my delivery and eased my worries as a first time mom."

"I highly recommend Diane! She is a knowledgable professional and helped both my husband and myself to feel empowered throughout the birthing process. Prior to taking Lamaze, I was worried and anxious about childbirth but I went to the hospital with a wealth of coping skills, tools and confidence. Thank you for coaching us to meet our birth goals and safely welcome our daughter into the world! We appreciate you so much and would recommend this course to everyone! A must take!"

"My partner and I took Diane's Lamaze class September/October of 2020. I was franticly looking for a Lamaze class while I was like 7 months pregnant, because I didn't realize typically women sign up for Lamaze classes way early in their pregnancy. Diane was the 4th Lamaze instructor I talked to and she was the only one absolutely willing to take me in right away! She worked around my boyfriends insane work/training schedule and we got all of my classes done before the birth of my son. Even though I ended up having a C-Section and not a natural birth like I was hoping I still was able to use many of the breathing tricks Diane taught me in class. It was such a wonderful experience. Diane was even more than happy to take my phone calls and help me with things like breastfeeding my son over the phone. because even though it seems self explanatory to breastfeed it is actually quite challenging for a new mom and baby to figure out! I will forever refer her to anyone looking for a Lamaze class!"

"I have just about graduated from Diane's Lamaze class, and feel as though words cannot express how grateful I am that my husband and I signed up. Diane came very highly recommended from a couple who had 7 natural childbirths using her techniques, and Diane was not disappointing. I have deep personal reasons for wanting a medication free childbirth experience, and now feel as though I have confidence and power to do so. My husband is prepared to help me through. She is a wonderful person, very easy to talk to, extremely educated, and has an answer for every question. Thank you so much Diane!"

"Diane is an amazing teacher & coach! I took Lamaze class with her during each of my 4 pregnancies. I used the Lamaze method during each of my deliveries and it was very helpful. In addition to teaching me the techniques I needed to deliver my babies in a natural and peaceful environment she also empowered me to understand and express my wishes throughout the entire journey. I needed to be induced for my first pregnancy due to some concerns over the development of my daughter and Diane walked through every step with me. What she taught me was invaluable and I would recommend every mother learn these tools. It will open the door to a wonderful delivery experience for you and your baby!"
