What are the signature techniques Natasha Nicholes uses in her CPR classes?

Hi, I’m Natasha Nicholes from Houseful of Nicholes.

In CPR classes, a few go-to techniques always show up in “Natasha style” teaching:

• Using music with the right beat for compressions – like “Stayin’ Alive,” which matches the ideal CPR rate
• Hands-on practice with manikins so people really feel proper depth and rhythm
• Breaking medical jargon down into simple, everyday language and real-life scenarios

I also lean heavily on repetition and confidence-building, so people leave feeling like they can step in and help, not just that they passed a class.

Are you thinking about taking a CPR class yourself or planning to teach others?
