Dear Nina
Just wanted to let you know we had our baby girl, just shy of 40 weeks last Friday – hence I missed your amazing class I enjoy so much!
Amara May was born on Fri 26/11/10 at 1.22pm weighing in at 9.6 pound (4.26 kgs)! Thank you, I have no doubt my relaxation and preparation towards the pregnancy and birth contributed to the 3.5 hour of established labour and all-natural birth. We were only at the hospital for an hour before she arrived.
Your dedication, knowledge and warmth is second to none. Please keep doing what you are doing as we all benefit from it. We have a very contented little baby here.
I just wanted to let you know that we had a little baby boy last Sunday morning. He is a perfect baby and absolute joy for us. I had a 12 hour labour without complication or pain relief and I wanted you to know that I believe that the skills I gained from your classes contributed greatly to this result. Al was an incredible birth support partner and remembered all the coaching from our partner class – helping me to breathe through contractions and relax in between – this was invaluable. ?So thank you for all your help, I truly believe that your classes prepared me in the best possible way for such an intense and important experience. Take care and thanks again. I hope to return to classes with you in the future.--
Thank you so much Nina for the amazing active birth workshop. We really enjoyed it and we both got so much more out of it than the hospital class we did. We left the session feeling relaxed and more confident, prepared and informed, thanks to your gentle, encouraging and accepting guidance.
