Testimonials

“Erin was a fantastic prenatal instructor — informative, engaging, and very interactive. She created such a comfortable, welcoming environment where everyone felt at ease asking questions. The games and activities were fun while still being educational, which made everything much easier to absorb!! My husband and I are feeling much more confident and prepared to welcome our first baby after completing Erin’s prenatalclasses. Highly recommend!”

~ Mikaila, Former Customer

“I highly recommend taking Erin’s prenatal class for the following reasons. First the swaddle/change/bath workshop was very helpful for my husband who had no experience with babies. It was a safe shame-free environment with individuals experiencing this process for the first time so he felt no judgment from his peers. For myself who has had experience it was a great refresher and reminder for the steps to bathe (eg. use different parts of cloth on each eye). Secondly the game where we went through the “baby is crying what do you do” helped immense during the real thing I was able to think back when my baby was crying and recall “ah yes a warm shower may help”. Lastly, I didn’t know lactation consultants were a profession. I struggled really hard with breastfeeding the first two weeks and had the opportunity to work with a lactation consultant twice because I knew to ask for help.”
