Lamaze Evidence-Based Labor Support Workshop For L&D Nurses

Labor and delivery nurses play an essential role in healthy, satisfying birth and breastfeeding experiences. The Lamaze Evidence-Based Labor Support for Nurses Workshop is an opportunity to examine practical, evidence-based labor support into your daily practice.

This is not your average labor support workshop. Hospitals across the US consistently use this workshop in their new L&D employee on-boarding process and/or continuing education for L&D staff. 

Participants will create easy-to-implement and effective labor support options for your hospital setting. 





​"I didn't think it was possible to change our workplace culture when it came to physiological birth support, but this workshop  brought us a refreshing approach that we could easily implement on our unit. We've seen wonderful results."

Wendy Trees, MS, CD(DONA), CLC, FACCE, LCCE, CLE
Mother of 4. Doula to hundreds. Educator to thousands.
​Wendy is the Executive Director and Instructor for Family Trees Birth Programs.  Her exciting and dynamic teaching style makes Family Trees classes and seminars fun and energetic. 

Wendy holds a Masters degree in Health Sciences with a concentration in midwifery and women's healthcare.  In 2015, she was inducted into the prestigious Fellowship of the Academy of Certified Childbirth Educators and earned Lamaze Accreditation for the Family Trees Lamaze Educator program.  
​

After a 15 year career in early childhood and art education, Wendy answered the call to work with childbearing families.  She became a certified doula through DONA International & Lamaze Educator through Duke University's ADHOC program.
 While in midwifery school, she spent over five years working as a birth assistant in the local Amish and Mennonite communities.  She has supported hundreds of mothers as they've welcomed their new babies into this world. A graduate from UC San Diego's Lactation program, she is a Lactation Education Counselor (LEC) and Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC).

As a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE) and Program Director for Lamaze, Wendy provides empowering education to parents and professionals.  She consistently receives glowing reviews from her students and coworkers.  Wendy has taught at major hospital systems throughout the United States and has trained childbirth educators from around the world.

Professionally, Wendy was involved with research at Towson University School of Nursing which was published in the Journal of Perinatal Education. She regularly guest lectures at several universities and hospitals across the US.   Wendy was the featured speaker at the regional AWHONN meeting, a co-presenter at the Nurse Family Partnership state conference, and often presents at the Lamaze International and related conferences.  She proudly represented her state lobbying for better maternity care on Capitol Hill in 2017 & 2020, holding appointments with multiple members of the US Congress. 

Committed to dynamic teaching, Wendy volunteers with multiple organizations. She is a member of the Board of Directors and the former Education Council Chair for Lamaze International.

Wendy is passionate about addressing the healthcare disparities that exist within the United States maternity care system.  She thoroughly enjoys sharing her love for labor support and education with other birth professionals.

Above all else, she is most proud of her four children.
