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 class available and the most enjoyable. Slow your life down with a walk on the beach, feeding lamas and sitting on the veranda looking out at beautiful Puget Sound. 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 Illahee Manor. The 1920's Manor House is styled after a Russian dasha "Mansion House" and sits on the shoreline of the Kitsap Peninsula, only a one hour ferry ride from the Seattle waterfront or an hour's drive from Sea Tac Airport. To learn more about Illahee, please click here.

It is a place where peace and serenity reign supreme. Surrounded by the tranquility of Puget Sound the Inn Keepers have created a haven to the fine art of relaxation and a perfect setting for Lamaze classes.

Because classes are popular, it is important to sign up early. There are a limited number of rooms at Illahee; however, there are multiple nice B&B's and hotels nearby. Rosalys holds the reservations for Illahee and can assist you with reservations elsewhere should that be needed. For both class reservation and room reservations at Illahee, contact Rosalys at rosalys@bainbridge.net.
