"My Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator was incredibly knowledgeable and introduced intimidating topics in an approachable, light-hearted way. Pregnancy and postpartum are such a sensitive time, yet parents are often bombarded with unsolicited advice, commentary, and criticism, which can put you in your head and take you out of the moment with your family. Her style was very informative without piling on expectations or pressure. It’s some real talk, shared with some real empathy. She made a lot of space for whatever you're thinking and feeling going into this life-changing experience."
