"This course was transformative for me. It gave me the knowledge and tools I needed to be empowered, excited, and confident in my pregnancy and birthing journey.
I realized a lot of my fear came from lack of knowledge about the labor and birthing process. The course taught me that by mentally preparing I can more easily work with my body to bring my baby into the world in a calm and joyful way."
