What do others have to say about this class?
"They (the classes) helped us know what to expect— I think the birth videos especially helped me going into labor. I also appreciated knowing how to breathe through contractions and let go of tension. The classes helped my husband know how to support me during labor as well."
Sam and Abby T.
"Maggie was such an immense blessing to us as we journeyed through our first pregnancy. She was such a presence of peace, was so informative, and guided us through the journey to giving birth, that when the time came to go into labor, we were prepared and able to endure the trail with readiness and understanding rather than with fear and insecurity. It was so helpful to understand the physiology of the body and to be able to trust that it knows what it's doing. After each session that we had with her we felt even more prepared and less nervous as time went on. It was also so nice to be able to get to know Maggie before she was our doula at our birth. We strongly recommend that every woman take Maggie's course."
Tabitha and Gabriel Q.
"The Childbirth course helped so much with building our confidence an understanding the labor and birth process. The topics flowed nicely from week to week, and we always felt relief after every class just thinking "we got this!" We are so glad we took the course. The content, resources and Maggie's support were extremely helpful. Highly recommend!"
