What our couples have to say....
We found the whole class process, extremely helpful and you were very creative in the different methods of teaching. I especially appreciated all the little tidbits of advice (like the calendula essence and freezing the pads for post delivery relief, chucks pads and the list goes on). - Robyn
The classes HELPED in a huge way by showing and providing a way for me to better love and support my wife through this experience. And by getting me prepared to support and love my son! Being educated and having the foreknowledge of what we were going to go through helped me decide in advance where I stood on many issues so that I could focus on being there for Robyn and Samuel. - Jeremy

We can't imagine how we could have gone through our birth experience without the classes. We were prepared for everything that happened in labour and never had a moment of panic. It was an amazing labour, and the classes made us confident that we could do it at home, together (with the help of our fantastic midwives). Rhonda was not only a great instructor, but showed real personal concern for us. We would definitely take her classes again (and even drove an hour each way to take them the first time).

I knew that I wanted to somehow be more involved than the stereotypical guy in the birthing and parenting of our child, but I wasn't at all sure of how I could do so without being a nuisance. I had also been rather disappointed by much of the literature that was directed at fathers-to-be-- it was too comical and not nearly informative enough for what I wanted. Thank goodness signed up for classes with Sue. This class was highly effective in educating me on how I could be genuinely supportive *and* truly useful on the birthday; the class also opened my eyes to a parenting philosophy where the father plays a highly active role. Thanks Sue!

I think the biggest thing is that the classes gave me the confidence during pregnancy, labour, and delivery to know what was going on. Without the detailed knowledge I wouldnt have known a placenta from a perineum. In all seriousness, I liked the focus on knowing your options rather than just telling us what was the best think in all instances. So much of pregnancy and birth is dependent on so many factors. Having the information and trust in ourselves gave us the ability to make informed decisions across many areas. For instance, in deciding what food choice we were making during pregnancy we could balance the nutritional requirements against what would realistically work.

The knowledge we learned in class was priceless during labour. Rhonda, I dont know how I would have managed to help Tonya, had I not known what youd taught us. Thank you!

We could not have asked for a better experience and feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be in your class, Rhonda. The course, literature, instruction and your support thoroughly prepared me for pregnancy and labour and has greatly helped me transition into the new role of fatherhood. Having an understanding of what Kimberly might experience in the whole process allowed me to better connect with her and support her through the journey. I dont feel I would have experienced as much had I not been involved through the process.
Murray & Kimberly Kiel
Class was AMAZING! You covered all we needed to know and more. You took care of every scenario possible, just in case something challenging arose. My friends are wishing they could do it all over again. They can't beleive how smoothly everything went for us. Thank you so much Rhonda. - Cara
The class was a huge help and a wealth of knowledge that I am not only using in Fatherhood, but also with my patients. The tools and techniques we were taught during our 12 weeks were invaluable during labour. It was like we both went into "auto pilot" and the information surfaced when we needed it. Awesome course and especially the instructor. I would recommend it to anyone expecting a baby. -Kevin
Kevin & Cara
Words will never express how grateful I am to have found you and the difference your classes have made in our lives. The knowledge and empowerment you have given me to blieve in myself is what allowed me to have such an amazing birth experience with Kalan. I will never forget that. Your coure has opened up communication between Clem and I and brought us closer together. I gush about your course to all ladies I meet! I will forever be grateful tht you found this calling to become a childbirth teacher Sue. - Kathy
Your course, enthusiasm, and sincerety has really changed and shaped the way I look at births. You've truly made a difference in my life and allowed me and my wife to have the perfect birth we wanted. Thank you! - Clem
Kathy & Clem
The course gave us the knowledge and confidence we needed to sucessfully have a natural childbirth at home. We highly recommend that any couple who is expecting a child take these classes regardless of whether they choose to have a hospital or home birth. Any future fathers will be grateful to be able to actively assist their partner during labour and birthing mothers will appreciate the much needed support. Rhonda's expertise is invaluable for both labour and the days that follow.

I always knew we could have the baby naturally but the course gave Monica the knowledge and confidence as well. The time spent in class helped me as a coach know how to support mom and I got a much better understanding of labour. It really brought us closer and it was nice time spent as a couple before the baby came; preparing us to be parents making decisions about another life that we were going to be responsible for.

Without a doubt, the mock labour classes helped us immensely. I was confident with Marks abilities to coach me through labour since we practiced in class and at home. We were able to get our grievances out before hand (eg: Massage my leg, dont press too hard on my back, etc) during our practice sessions. The classes also gave me a sense of empowerment because every aspect of labour and delivery was discussed. I joked that her class was the Consumer Reports of baby classes.
Kim Dempsey
Chris said it helped immensely, giving him confidence and knowledge in know what to expect and how to handle it. We dont believe we would have been at home to deliver if we hadnt taken the classes, and neither one of us would have wanted to miss that experience.
