Janis Bush, a certified Lamaze childbirth educator is a real gem teacher. She teaches with all her heart and soul and prepares you for any potential situation that may arise during your pregnancy and birth. She also educates her students about their rights and believes that knowledge is power.

Her mission is to spread the truth that pregnancy, labor birth and breastfeeding are normal, natural physiological processes. Her mission is to empower herself and others working in childbirth and breastfeeding settings to impart truth, knowledge and confidence about childbearing to expectant and new parent couples.

Her childbirth classes will change how pain and other things are perceived in your brain and you will wind up with a pain tolerance level higher than the Home Depot rafters. Janis has used this method to birth her own 3 babies and she uses the techniques of the Lamaze method of pain blocking every day since these are life skills for everyone.

When she was 4 1/2 years old and her mom came home with the new baby, and lied to Janis about where the baby came from and her journey to find out what it means to be a women started.

When Janis was in 2nd grade, she watched her young cat give birth. Janis thought it was so cool how the cat did everything on instinct. It was the most sacred thing she has ever seen.

When she was found out she was pregnant in the 1970s, she read every book about having a baby that she could get her hands on.

Two books changed her life forever: Thank you Dr. Lamaze by Marjorie Karmel and The Joy of Narural Childbirth by Helen Wessel.

She still tells anyone who asks that you need to look no further than those two books to know what to do when the time is right.

After giving birth to her first child in 1976, after having been taught the original, authentic Fernand Lamaze Method of Prepared Childbirth and used it perfectly, she knew 3 things:

1. I have clearly met my Authentic Self.... and she is awesome!

2. If I can do this, I can do anything!

3. I need to change careers to teach this miraculous method to others

She went to UC Irvine for a training program to become a Lamaze instructor and started teaching in 1977. in 2008 she added teaching Infant Instinct Breastfeeding.

Over the decades, Janis has impacted over ten thousand couples and medical professionals by educating patients about their rights, supporting certified and aspiring childbirth professionals to prosper in their chosen birth field. She is in the process of writing 3 books.

Shannon, a sober special needs mom of three, opens up about how wine in a cup has become more and more part of moms' every day life. It is often seen as a reward for moms. Alcohol consumption is often not questioned. Especially during the pandemic, homeschooling 3 children, one with special needs, caused Shannon to drink more. She realized she couldn't moderate or stop drinking and started hiding it.

In August/September of 2022, Shannon had a wake-up call. Her drinking affected her health, self-esteem, relationships and put a strain on her marriage.

She admitted to her husband how much she had really been drinking and that she needed help. Shannon was ready to get out of that guilt, shame and remorse cycle and joined an online program which in a gentle way showed her all the facts about alcohol. She had enough and decided she can't put alcohol in her body anymore. This changed everything for her.

Shannon has since grown a large following of sober and sober-curious women where she shares her story and all the information she has learnt about alcohol and shows how toxic the mommy wine culture really us and how we as women can support each other without alcohol in a much more authentic way.

She is currently planning a 7 day sober retreat to Costa Rica in October.
