Katie, Nov. 2020 course participant, says:
“We learned our options and how to navigate childbirth and postpartum.  Even better, it was a judgement-free environment, with room for us to make our own choices.  And we feel the class was definitely worth the money.  The amount of knowledge and insight we got really gave us a lot more confidence in the whole birthing process.  It was a small price to pay for the amount of confidence we got!"
