What Parents Are Saying About Birthing From Within Classes

"I valued the honesty in this class. Everyone showed their vulnerable side and felt safe. That is rare and it made everything that much more amazing. I loved watching my hubby learn and ask questions. This class took us from being on different pages and him being scared, to unity and confidence."

- Anonymous Mother

"These classes brought us WAY closer. Even though this is my 3rd baby, I feel I learned a ton and am more prepared." 

- Angely, pregnant mother

"Birth is the world of the unknown, but Nikki's class helps you prepare for almost anything being thrown at you. Nikki, herself has a magical way of making everyone feel valued in their experience and challenged everyone to grow individually. The class itself also connects you and your partner in a way that most don't before. I loved being surrounded by others going through the same journey sharing our thoughts and ideas while holding my wife's hand or leaning on her shoulder for support. This review is only a small tidbit on how impactful this class was on my life. Forever grateful and wish I could do it again!"

- Dani, pregnant mother

"Nikki was extremely personable and helpful. She stayed after class to address concerns, which was much appreciated. The class was an awesome experience and has made me more aware and prepared to face labor."

- Sekinat, pregnant mother

"These classes have helped us feel more prepared, connected, understanding, and patient with each other and ourselves."

- Shelley, pregnant mother

Since 2012 I've guided hundreds of families across the threshold of birth as a certified childbirth educator and doula. I'm passionate about preparing expecting parents for birth in a way that is realistic and holistic. I love teaching Birthing from Within because every class series is unique, informed by the wisdom, needs, and experiences of the parents I work with. I can't wait to share a hand-tailored Birthing from Within class with you!
