Evelyn is the BEST bradley instructor/BEST Doula ever....HOORAY for Natural Childbirth!!!

"Loved it!  Taking these classes made my partner and I spend time together as a couple.  It really helps when you're so busy putting together your life!  My favorite sessions are learning about the different stages of labor and what my body goes through, labor positions and learning about the effects of drugs to mother and baby." 

"I love it!!!"  Learning about positions and how to help my wife through labor was really practical!  Thank you!"

"I thought the class was GREAT.  At first, I thought 12 weeks, 2 hours would be a lot and too longer.  Then, I found myself wishing that they were longer..."

When I tell people I want a natural birth, they look at me like I have three heads and brush it off.  This class offers a community that is supportive and advocates the safety and NORMALCY of giving birth naturally.

 "We feel well prepared, informed and have lots of confidence."

"Thank you for all the resources!  It was such a helpful class...KEEP IT UP!"

We took a class at the hospital and we took your class.  It was night and day.  The class at the hospital was not nearly as detailed as yours.  The information and details you provided helped us get through two full days of labor and we have thus successfully birthed our child without drugs or interventions.  We couldn't have done it without you.  Thank you so much!

"Evelyn, your passion is contagious...my husband and I felt totally prepared as we successfully birthed naturally in our home."

"I learned about the importance of relaxation...great teaching!"

"Evelyn did a GREAT JOB.  I feel I can coach anybody!"

"Evelyn kept on track, informed, interested and involved.  Evelyn was always enthusisatic and really has a genuine, heartfelt interest in her students health and well-being which is important during this special time..."

"What impressed me the most is how to I learned to trust my body.  Evelyn was a wonderful teacher who really connected well with everyone."

"Evelyn has a very calming presence and was very helpful to not only the  birthing mother, but to the father of the baby and myself  It was a pleasure to have her presence."

"I can see her compassion toward her client."

"Thankful for Evelyn's support to all of us and her powerful presence."

"Having Evelyn present made the birth experience so much better.  I know without her presence, I would not have been as fortunate as I was to have a natural intervention free birth."

"Thank you, Evelyn, for giving us the information, wisdom and most importantly, the confidence to do this.  It made all the difference in the world."

I love your yoga Class, Evelyn!  What a wonderful way to connect with my baby and my higher self.

What you shared with us helped us achieve a wonderful birthing experience!

The information you provided about the "lip" and the birthing positions not just 'empowered us' it helped us do it...

It is really nice to have this time for my husband and I to connect.  We learned a lot about birth, about our baby and about each other.  This strengthed our communication and connection as we 'grow' family. Thank you.

I always relax in this class!

Thank you for sharing with us that staying "in tact" (not tearing) is possible and doable.  Your tips on how to do this has really helped us.

"This is our second baby, and attending your partners birth workshop is soooo helpful!  Without last baby, we didn't know what to do and just kept doing hip squeezes.  Now, we have options!" 

I love that you recognize and bring to light the three Rites of Passage happening here:  Me, becoming Mother.  My husband, becoming Father and my baby, entering our world.  Because of this, the dynamics of our relationship has shifted...

We couldn't have done it without you.

"...and you are the only doula I know who kicks major butt :)"

We couldn't have done it without Evelyn.  Seriously! 

"Best money we've ever spent.  Best money you'll ever spend.  Thanks, Evie!  We are so glad we found you!"
