Because I'm a nurse, I feel like we think too much about the bad that could happen, I feel like this class has given me the tools & confidence to have the best possible birth experience. My favorite part is the individuals teaching the course, [their] energy & passion for this topic is refreshing & kept us wanting to learn.

"“Before this class I felt less knowledgable and in control of my pregnancy and birth. I knew I wanted support from my partner as well, but wasn’t sure what that even looked like and now we do! This class gave me so much knowledge about how birth really works along with tools to set me up for the most success! It taught me not that there are right and wrong choices, but that interventions are just that - a choice! My partner and I are now more confident to go into labor and delivery asking questions and self advocating for the birth experience we want to have - not one that is set in stone but one that we play an active, informed role in!”

"[My favorite part of this class is] how inclusive it is with our partners! I want my partner to feel like an active participant in our birth and really help me advocate and you guys did that spot on!"

"“Sarah is fantastic. I took a virtual class with her to prepare for my second birth and she was incredible. She was prepared, knowledgeable, and detailed. She tailored the class perfectly for me and my specific interests. She presents labor and delivery information in a non-judgemental, evidenced-based way that really made me feel empowered to speak up. She checked in on me between our classes and continued to be a resource well after our classes ended. I would (and have) recommend Sarah to my pregnant friends as a much better alternative to in-person hospital classes.”

"Cannot recommend [Mandy] enough!!! With her help I ended up with the birth of my wildest hopes and dreams!!! She’s smart, witty, direct and so knowledgeable!! This time around I knew I wanted so much more. I ended up taking a class from [Mandy] and it’s worth every single penny and moment of your time! She takes time and gets to know you even in a class full of people. Even with a induction I had a calm, empowering, unstoppable surge of strength and belief in myself for my delivery. She believed in my abilities to accomplish my dream delivery and her belief empowered me to believe just as much in myself.”
