What parents had to say…

“Annique's Birthing From Within class was one of the most valuable and special aspects of my pregnancy. I left this class feeling more connected to my partner and with a sense of confidence in my innate ability to birth my baby. I was hoping to come away with some solid techniques to guide me through labor and delivery, and I found these and much more. The intimate atmosphere of the class was conducive to sharing concerns and questions that I had not felt comfortable asking - or didn't think to ask - in the traditional hospital birthing class we went to before. Annique's sensitive and introspective questions opened up new ways of thinking about myself and my hopes and fears, many of which I hadn't realized I had. At the close of our class I felt like I had not only the tools but also the emotional readiness to birth my baby. I cherish the time my partner and I spent in our classes, learning about each other and how to take our first steps towards parenthood together.” – Heather

“Thank you so much - this class was amazing - so informative and heartfelt!” – Forrest

“When my wife first informed me that we were going to drive over an hour to take a birthing class I was skeptical to say the least. But in the end I am grateful that our midwife encouraged us to take Annique's Birthing from Within class. Annique is a wonderfully gifted instructor who has the unique ability to tailor the course to meet the individual needs of each and every participant. She facilitates a warm and open environment, conducive to helping you unify with and understand your partner as you move forward together in this deeply rewarding new chapter. From a dad-to-be's perspective, Annique helped me understand better the journey that my wife and child will take together, and my role in supporting them. As a couple we are better in every regard for having taken the class. We feel better prepared to have the birth that we envision, be the parents we hope to be, and are closer then ever. Many thanks!” – Mike

“Loved it!!! Thank you for sending us off on our journey feeling so prepared.” – Rhonda

“I went into the Birthing From Within class expecting to leave better prepared for my birth experience. What I found was much more than the practical information that I sought. I found a safe and comfortable place to explore myself more deeply. As my due date approaches I feel like the experience in the class has helped me to open lines of communication with my husband, my baby, and my own heart. I definitely feel like I have the practical information that I need going into this journey, but I also feel like I have been able to address the deeper dreams, assumptions, and fears that I was approaching my birth with. I can honestly say that I am excited to see what the journey will bring.” - Megan

“Annique, you are truly gifted at what you do. You are a wonderful listener and amazing at validating all the feelings and fears we had... and so adept at translating our thoughts and questions into coherent points. You welcomed and validated everyone in their own birth process. Thank you!”
