Lisa’s class was so informative and helpful as we geared up for our first child. The ability to watch the training videos online was great for our busy schedule, but mixing it with the Zoom allowed us to have that personal touch and time to ask whatever questions.

Lisa-Marie was a fabulous teacher. Her comfort measure class was engaging, packed with resources, and tangible for anyone walking through birth with someone or those expecting for the first time. Highly recommend her classes.

Lisa covered many contingencies and helpful techniques for our daughter’s birth. Her counter pressure techniques were particularly valuable, but most importantly we felt prepared to work with the doctors and nurses to make the best decisions.

I’m due to have my first baby in 7 weeks and my husband and I loved Lisa’s class. We feel prepared and supported for the birth of our child. Due to COVID the class was virtual but was really impactful and helpful. Well-produced materials and a supportive Q&A Zoom session capped of the weekend.

Lisa’s wisdom, knowledge, and experience was invaluable!!! we really didn’t know what to expect as first-time, soon-to-be parents and our anxiety and fears were very much put at ease by Lisa throughout her course.
