About Janis
Janis Bell-Ryan Bush, BA, ACCE, LCCE, FACCE, LBFSS, ALPP CLC, TTS Go to "Services" to see the 2023 schedule of classes
- Since I started my career 47 years ago in 1975, I have taught over 11,000 expectant and new-parent couples how to birth and breastfeed gently. My career saw me teaching in California for 12 years before our move to Hawaii n 1988. We have returned after 3-decades in Hawaii to (semi- retire) in my husband's childhood home in La Habra, CA.
- These are not the kind of classes your friends say "don't work---as soon as you get to the hospital you forget everything they have told you." That right there IS the key. This class does not operate on the "show and tell" format. This class will actually change how pain and other things are perceived in your brain---you will wind up with a pain tolerance level that is higher than the rafters of Home Depot. That means you have to come up with a whole lot more pain in labor before you even begin complaining that "wow, these contractions are starting to get strong".
- Also, I have used this method to birth my own 3 babies....AND I use the techniques of the Lamaze method of pain-blocking every day of my life---these are not just birth skills for women---These are Life Skills for everyone.
Authentic, Original, Out of France, Lamaze
When I started my career 47 years ago, Lamaze was the cornerstone of private childbirth education. The method originated in France in the 1950s and arrived in America in the 1960s. Slowly hospitals hijacked the name ("lamaze") but their classes never have been nor will they ever be the quality and depth of content that you get from a private, certified childbirth educator---especially one who trained as I did. This will not just be a PowerPoint presentation with me reading the captions to the slides like the typical hospital class.
My course is the REAL DEAL!

Infant Instinct Breastfeeding Workshop
My workshop, for both the mother and birth partner, is the polar opposite of the very flawed American Breastfeeding Method. I teach you how to get out of the baby's way so the baby can find the nipple and latch perfectly based on INSTINCTS rather than contrived positions. Hospitals rush* the baby's mouth to your nipple and the result is sore, cracked, and bleeding nipples within 3 days. We proceed on "Baby Time*"This is NOT your sister's or mother's breastfeeding course. You also receive unlimited FREE postpartum phone consults and/or a discounted price for visiting my Latch Center or if I do a house call.
