I wanted to reach out and thank you personally for your incredible instruction. I gave birth to my daughter on Sunday, May 6th at 9:44am. After 2 hours of active labor I was ready to push. My baby was only at station 0, and I had her out in 8 pushes. She somehow emerged with a perfectly round head - the pediatrician even thought she had to have been a breech baby! Your class gave me the know-how and confidence to push that baby out, and I tell anyone I meet that it was, hands down, the most valuable class I took during my pregnancy.

A patient of mine the other day had taken your pushing workshop. It was one of the most beautiful, controlled births I've ever seen. She was amazing and felt so prepared from learning your pushing technique.
