Ariel is kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. The session was well organised and welcoming to all questions. Highly recommend below classes to every expecting parent! The childbirth class gave a clear understanding of what to expect. It helped me to reduce fears and made feel more prepared. The breastfeeding class was full of helpful tips. I feel much more confident about nursing my baby now. Postpartum care was eye-opening and addressed things often overlooked.
