Nicole J.Johnson, Doula and Birth Instructor
Sally had a lot of great information that I wasn’t familiar with. I feel much more confident after taking her childbirth class
J. Cawley, PNW Parent
Being my doula Sally has been very on top of addressing questions and worries, directing me to options to discuss with my midwife, and ensuring that I was going to be as prepared as possible for my upcoming birth! The classes would have been AMAZING had they been an option for me for my first birth.
Even though this is my second child having a refresher course was very needed, and still pointed out one or two little facts that I had forgotten.
The material was presented in a direct and helpful way, any questions were encouraged and answered or looked into.
Sally was very helpful when I had to leave a class early by sending me the slides of what I missed! So even if something crops up, she was very accommodating.
