Feedback
My husband and I had an amazing experience at Buddha Belly Doulas’ Preparing for Birth class. Our instructor Amanda was enthusiastic, passionate, and truly so helpful. She answered all questions with no judgement and made everyone feel welcome as soon as class started. Everyone in the class had different levels of prior knowledge when it came to the birthing process and postpartum, and I truly believe that no matter how much knowledge we came in with, we all left much more confident and prepared for all things labor, delivery, and postpartum. As a first time mom, I personally didn’t know much about anything pregnancy/birth and had a lot of anxiety/fear at the beginning of class 1. Through each of Amanda’s classes, that anxiety and fear started to slip away and although there are still hurdles to overcome, I definitely have a much clearer understanding and more realistic expectations of labor and delivery. My husband also gained a much better understanding of the birth process and has become more confident in his ability to support me through the birth of our son and through the postpartum period. I loved seeing him get excited for each class and we definitely owe that to Amanda and her ability to keep everyone engaged. Overall, we had a truly wonderful experience participating in Amanda’s class and would recommend it to any soon-to-be parents who want to become more educated, confident, prepared, and EXCITED for the birth of their little one!
We loved the class with Paige! We had previously taken a birth class at the hospital we are delivering at and Paige’s class was so much better. The way she presented information was very informative, approachable, and non judgemental. I especially enjoyed how she interspersed personal stories from her own recent births and her clients, showing a wide variety of experiences in how birth can go. I appreciated the opportunity to practice different position/techniques with her feedback as well. Thank you!
Amanda was amazing. I was honestly hesitant to take such a long class at first, but now I’m glad we did. It was a class we didn’t know we needed, so much good information and Amanda gave so many practical tips for us to take home. She also kept the class very entertaining that the two hours would just fly by. Thank you!
Great class! Informative and intimate. Exactly what we needed and were hoping for!
I really enjoyed the community feel of this pelvic floor yoga. As someone who is recently postpartum it was nice to move by body and also speak with other mama’s also “going through it”. Thanks again - I’ll try to get there next month.
Sujata is amazing!
Great course. We left feeling confident and informed. Paige was a wonderful instructor - she kept class paced well, gave helpful feedback and was awesome at answering everyone’s questions.
I was also very grateful for the inclusive language Paige used throughout the course. As same sex parents, we felt welcome and supported which is unfortunately not always a given.
The facility was beautiful and extremely well equipped. Comfort tools and healthy snacks were thoughtfully offered throughout the 4 hour class.
First and foremost the venue where the class was held was beautifully designed and intentionally curated. Our instructor was prepared, engaging, knowledgeable, personable, great hospitality and wonderfully kind. Although such a vast amount of information, the material was taught in a way that was easy to understand, digest and retain. We learned a lot and absolutely was glad to have had the opportunity!
Amanda was extremely welcoming, fun and super informative. My partner and I feel more confident going into my unmedicated labor and birth process!
Loved this class Paige was so helpful it really helped me and my husband’s nerve about labor and doing a hospital birth 10/10 recommend
Very important information presented very well.
This class was sooo helpful! I started out absolutely terrified of labor and delivery and now feel empowered, informed and actually excited for it! Amanda is a wonderful teacher
Amanda was fabulous! Well educated and made the class fun, which we were happy about since it’s not easy to sit through a 4.5 hour class.
The birth class today was very informative. Amanda was very knowledgeable and made the class fun and personable! Would definitely come back for other classes.
Loved Paige! She did a great job providing us as much information as possible and kept the class light and fun. My husband and I felt great leaving her class.
I loved the class! I learned so much, but it was taught in such a great and casual way that the 4 and a half hours seemed to fly by. I look forward to the other classes!
Amanda hosted the birthing class, and she was absolutely phenomenal! So knowledgeable, kind and experienced. My husband and I learned so much about the stages of labor and how he can help support me throughout the birthing process. I feel so much more comfortable and informed. Thank you Amanda for being an incredible resource.
Great class with a knowledgeable, insightful and very charismatic instructor!
This is my second class with Amanda and both times she was fantastic, engaging with the audience frequently and covering the topics with empathy.
Amanda was amazing, knowledgeable and so supportive. Absolutely loved the class and all the useful information. The pace was great, the amount of information & variety between the videos, slides, personal stories and questions. I was engaged the entire time. I left feeling empowered and positive about the journey ahead while also understanding it’s not going to be a walk in the park.
Excellent content, great environment, and a kind, well-prepared staff. Highly recommended!
Good high-level information, paced right, engaging and not cheesy.
Both me and my husband enjoyed the class. Happy we took it!
My husband and I took this course in order to prepare for the arrival of our baby boy, and we are so glad we did. We learned a lot about the labor process and what we can expect in order to help us best achieve our labor plan. We also learned a lot about what to expect post partum.
Highly recommend if you want to feel prepared!
The birth classes we took were absolutely amazing and completely exceeded our expectations. We learned so much new information that we couldn’t find anywhere else. The instructors were fantastic at not only teaching us but also building our confidence and helping us get rid of our fears about childbirth. My husband was initially skeptical but he found the classes so useful that he actually looked forward to them and didn’t miss a single one! It was an incredible experience for both of us and we feel so much more prepared for our baby’s arrival.
Absolutely loved the Birth Essentials class with Amanda! My husband and I learned so much and it also validated the research that we’ve done surrounding labor/birth. I would highly recommend the class to any moms who want a better understanding of what happens during labor/birth. During class we did a fun, interactive game and then also were able to do 1 on 1 with our partner to practice a few counter pressure positions which was awesome! Thank you again!
Efficient and informative!
Very good class! Very informative!
