Testimonials

Jess + Wes

Kristen’s group class was a great experience for me and my husband when we were expecting our first child. Her course covered everything from labor to breastfeeding in a way that was open and non-judgmental to anyone’s birth plan preferences. Her techniques for handling the birthing process were very helpful and her kind spirit made it easy to ask hard questions and confront common fears. I’d highly recommend this course to all expecting parents!

Absolutely loved the class!!!! You did an amazing job, and all my fears about birth have subsided. I know even my husband loved the class and he is not a class room type person!
