What families say

Amy is wonderful. She has exactly the perfect demeanor for a birth class instructor. Thanks to the pandemic, we still have not met in person, but Amy did a fantastic job teaching virtually and creating a sense of connection among the parents in our class. Many of us still stay in touch nearly a year later!

Amy’s Birth class was the best thing I could have done for myself, and husband, in preparation for our daughter. Straightforward, loving, empowering, supportive. Amy, and the community she has cultivated, is all of those things and more.

★★★★★ — Kaylee, 2021-01

Taking Amy’s childbirth class was absolutely the best decision we made before the birth of our daughter. Not only did she educate us on the childbirth experience but she equipped us with the knowledge to best advocate for ourselves and our baby throughout the birthing process.

★★★★★ — Lisa, 2021-01

This class was critical in feeling prepared as first-time parents. Amy provided us so much information about pregnancy, childbirth and lactation experiences, making us much more confident. There were no dumb questions (although lots of laughter) and everything was presented in an unbiased, honest way.
