Kristenโ€™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 anyoneโ€™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. Iโ€™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!
