“Abby taught my newborn parenting class for me, and I was blown away by her ability to connect with the moms and dads. They felt comfortable and affirmed, while also learning so much from Abby’s immense wisdom. I’m so grateful we were blessed by Abby’s presence!”

“My husband and I took a childbirth education class from Abby before the birth of our second daughter. We hoped to have a VBAC, and we wanted to be as prepared as possible. Abby created a class for us that included an in-depth discussion of VBACs. She is an excellent teacher and a gifted researcher. She presented a complete picture of what to expect, answered our questions, and helped us understand all of our options with lots of patience and empathy. We felt very confident going into the delivery room prepared with information. I was able to have a VBAC, and now we are home with our daughter, and we are using the postpartum tips that Abby gave us. We are so glad we decided to take her class!”
