“I am forever grateful for the wisdom and advice you shared with me for childbirth and beyond. Your words and lessons were incredibly empowering, and I have come through your class feeling stronger and more confident in my body’s ability to carry me through this journey. I am incredibly thankful for the acting you did of labor “dos” and “don’ts”, the curriculum you covered, the handouts you provided (so great to have them on hand for future reference!), meeting the doulas in class, and the networking and support groups in Santa Fe you recommended. Where would I be without you??? You were a true gift for my pregnancy and I am so grateful to have gotten to meet you.” -Erica F

“Breastfeeding is an instinctual and natural act, but it is also an art that is learned day by day. The reality is that almost all women can breastfeed, have enough milk for their babies and learn how to overcome problems both large and small. It is almost always simply a matter of practical knowledge and not a question of good luck.” – ROB
