Testimonials:

When my baby boy was born, it was the most awesome and wonderful moment of my and my husband's life. And part of what made it such a beautiful experience was the birthing preparation we did with Mia. From major things like how we could work together to cope with the intensity of childbirth to little things like bringing olive oil to the hospital for changing the baby's diaper, Mia's birthing preparation class was filled with practical tools that allowed us to fully focus on the experience. She also created a warm and open atmosphere during the birthing prep classes so we could bond with the other parents-to-be. And the last amazing thing I'll write about (there are so many!) is that I was able to take Prenatal Yoga classes with Mia throughout my pregnancy so the relaxation and coping techniques were rooted in my body for easy access during labor. Thank you, Mia!            - Liz
