Online Birth Class: Birth Tide Academy
This online childbirth class will give you the kind of confidence that brings peace and makes you (and your partner) say “I’m actually so excited about my birth!”
“You were a peaceful, calm presence".”
I loved that you made yourself so available to us! You checked up on us prior to going into labor and even after. When it came to the birth you were a peaceful, calm presence. I was grateful when you showed up around 3 am and guided my husband and me through labor and the next steps, and for your support in suggesting different positions to help with labor (and I was not expecting you to set up the hospital room with little lights to make it more peaceful.)
While I was in the hospital you eased my concerns when I had questions. When it came to the pushing phase, the meditation you sent me was a complete GAME CHANGER!! You always made general suggestions and were never pushy but I appreciated your confidence and knowing when to act.
The postpartum visit was super nice and the gift you left was so sweet and thoughtful! You went above and beyond and provided incredible service during such an important time in our lives. I prayed for someone like you, and your presence for the birth of our son was an answer to my prayer.
Having Karissa gave me the peace and confidence I needed to have the birth that I desired. I was so grateful to have someone I could trust to guide us through the labor process, especially for my first baby! Having Karissa helped my husband feel more involved and empowered to help me during birth which deepened our relationship and made me feel so loved that he could be there for me.
