Here’s a testimonial from a family who attended one of our online weekend classes:

“I want to say thank you for the childbirth class you led last weekend! I was skeptical about the whole Zoom experience, but I have to say, you really did a wonderful job. I feel like we got some great practical information, and so many great resources to further check out. Your information was very thorough and relevant, and I find myself empowered and excited to learn what I can before baby’s birth for the whole labor/delivery experience.”

I’m certain that my successful VBAC was largely due to Rachel’s support. Her presence in the delivery room brought a sense of comfort during a very anxious time for me. I trusted her to help me through contractions, assuring me that everything was okay.

We took several classes… All were WONDERFUL. The teachers were non-judgmental and provided all of the information that we needed to make informed choices. We also used the doula services–Rachel was on call the night that we delivered, and I can’t say enough good things about her! She helped us figure out how to manage each stage of labor and she helped my husband know what might be helpful for me.
