“Thank you for the lessons and inspirations over the last 20 weeks of my pregnancy. You have given me not only tools for labour (& life after!) but a new perspective on moving the body and using the mind. I have truly enjoyed your classes and I know your wisdom and techniques will stay with me for a long time.” - Sarah

“My midwife was extremely complementary about my pushing and pelvic floor awareness - a credit to you and all your help and guidance over my pregnancy. I had to have a few more interventions than I planned for, but I was able to adapt and go with the flow. It was an amazing experience. You’re an Angel - thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.” - Molly

“My induction started on Sunday and baby finally arrived on Tuesday night! Using movement was a big part of my strategy for staying calm over the three days. I loved your classes. They were such a big part of my pregnancy. The approach and the information you gave really helped me sink in to my pregnancy and gave me a chance to reflect on what was happening to my body and mind, as well as prepare for what the future might look like.” - Becky
