Testimonials

"My husband and I took this class together. I had a lot of anxiety about labor and delivery before we took the class. I can say for sure that this class is the #1 reason I am going into my 3rd trimester and approaching labor and delivery with confidence."

Ashley

"I was preparing to give birth to my second baby and did not have a great first birth experience. I felt very confident after taking Genny's class and was able to have the natural birth I wanted."

Victoria

"Going into pregnancy I knew nothing about childbirth! Genny laid out the tools from epidural to hospital birth to how to change positions during contractions to find that relief and strength within. I felt prepared for any outcome after taking her class."

Mara

Thank you so much for the support and everything you taught us! Just when I was about to give up, my partner remembered what you taught us. I snapped out of it, dimmed the lights, played some peaceful music and birthed my baby without an epidural!

Will I learn how to have a natural birth?

I believe that every person has their own unique path. Instead of focusing on medicated vs. unmediated birth, I focus on giving you tools and helping you learn the evidence, so that you can decide what feels right for your family.
