“Birth Prep 2.0 was EXACTLY what I was looking for in a birthing class. Jamie and Kelsey are both knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive in helping new moms navigate the many unknowns of Labour and Delivery, Pain Management Strategies, and Postpartum Recovery. They answered any and all questions we had, going so far as providing us with additional links and information if they did not have the answer on hand. I could not recommend a more comprehensive birth prep experience, and feel significantly more confident and prepared to have my baby. Further, while the course is now over, I feel continued support from both Kelsey and Jamie through their Facebook Page, Instagram, and knowing I could reach out at any time.”

“I highly recommend this course! I was hesitant to start the course as I thought I knew a lot about pregnancy and labour through my sisters but I thought hey, it’s my first baby I’m sure I have lots more to learn! And learn, did I ever! This virtual course was a great way to learn and meet other mamas during these crazy times! I feel well prepared and informed about what to expect before, during and after labour! Both these ladies know what they are talking about and do it in such a fun way! And it’s not just a 4 week course then say good luck and send you on your way, they will be there every step of the way when you have any questions! These ladies are truly amazing!”

“Birth Prep 2.0 taught me things I didn't know I needed to know about being pregnant and having a baby--and that's coming from someone in the medical field and pregnant with their second baby! The information provided was thorough, yet easy to understand. I feel empowered going into this pregnancy & delivery and way more prepared thanks to Jamie and Kelsey. I will not only highly recommend this course, but I plan on telling every pregnant woman I meet about it. If you are expecting, you don't want to miss this!”
