Lamaze Getaway Weekend
Why try to fit a childbirth preparation class in on a weekend and then still need to add newborn care and breast-feeding on different dates? Take a complete class, learn about the birth process, newborn care, breast-feeding and what you can do to support your relationship all in one weekend, and enjoy learning in a beautiful setting.

The Getaway Weekend class is the most complete and relaxing class available. Slow your life down with a walk to the pond, the herb garden or pasture. Visit the horses, sheep, and goats or just enjoy sitting on the veranda. The Getaway Weekend is the perfect setting to have time away before life gets busy with the addition of a new little person in your family. Couples say: "I had no idea how lovely the setting would be"; "I learned so much all in one weekend"; and "I now understand the process of birth and know what I can do to help my partner."

Relaxed atmosphere, wonderful food, good conversations and a beautiful setting all lend themselves to learning, and will make your childbirth education experience rewarding and memorable.

Lamaze Getaway Weekend Retreat


Classes are held at The Manor Farm Inn. The century old farmhouse sits amid 25 pastoral acres. It is a place where guests are greeted with peace and serenity, and where the innkeeper and staff have created a haven to the fine art of relaxation and a perfect setting for the Lamaze class.

The Manor Farm Inn is a 30 minutes ferry ride from Seattle across beautiful Puget Sound to Bainbridge Island, and then a 20 minute drive to Poulsbo.

To learn more about the Getaway Weekend and or to make reservations to stay at The Manor Farm Inn contact Rosalys at rosalys@bainbridge.net. If you would like to stay elsewhere, then contact Rosalys and she can help you find a B&B or motel nearby.
