We felt comfortable and confident that you were and expert and could help us understand what we will be experiencing. Your activities were visual and hands-on allowing us to procces the information internally. Thank you!
–Antonina & Galen

“Thank you so much for the wonderful class! I learned more than I could have expected - you are a great teacher!”
– Molly Stafford

“Thank you so much for a great class. I feel so much more confident now about labor, not only because of what I learned, but what Danny has learned. Knowing he is now educated and has an idea of what to do makes me feel so much more secure. Knowing he will know how to help me and keep me on track with my birth plan makes me feel so much better. I really enjoyed the class and will recommend you to all the pregnant women I come across!”
–Ashley Vega

“I have two step sons, and my husband Troy, initially was un-excited by the idea of going to a birthing class as he said it didn’t make a difference anyway. He thought, “Every woman should just get a pain shot and formula feed” because his two boys turned out fine. Fortunately for me, he did come to Laurie’s class. Once there we were able to open up, have effective communication and humor with each other. We developed genuine trust and I know he will be there so support me during labor and afterwards. I am so grateful that it happened because support, trust and the knowledge that Laurie bestowed on the two of us in such a short amount of time will have such an effect on the most important day of my life, the birth of my daughter.”
–MIchelle Hubb

“I just delivered our little girl. We were lucky to have a natural birth without help and all three of us are happy and healthy! Laurie’s breathing and labor techniques were essential and her labor support book was such a fabulous tool during the labor and delivery and my husband used it as a reference guide the whole time! He was an amazing support partner. The staff at the hospital during labor was fantastic, especially nurse Genevieve!
–Jami, Aubri and baby Jaya

“A friend recently became pregnant and found a list of classes at her doctors office. She called to ask me which classes were to take and I gave her my best advise, “Take ALL of Laurie’s classes!”.
–Liana Ositis

“Laurie Chamberlin is a doula, childbirth preparation teacher and lactation specialist! She is the entire package and she is loving, warm, non-judgemental and has two beautiful children of her own; so she knows first hand not only what the process of pregnancy is like, what births are like but also raising children and the joys and challenges that come with it. She was our lamaze teacher and I fell in LOVE with her! We did not use a doula but we considered it just because we thought it would be nice to have her presence, love and support in the delivery room....I HIGHLY recommend your contacting her.”
–Saralyn Crossen

"We really learned a lot yesterday, and it put my thoughts and priorities in order much faster than otherwise. Chika is going to do great, and I will do everything in my power to boost her confidence and good feelings."
–Art Healy

“We learned so much in all the classes we took, the Newborn Care, the Childbirth Class, and the Breastfeeding Class, we just can’t show our appreciation enough, thank you!
–Brian Hixon

"That class should be like a prerequisite to having a baby!"
–Matt Manning

“I believe that I would have felt extremely lost and unprepared without Laurie’s birthing class, even though I have read FIVE books!
–Linnea Quinn

"I learned an INCREDIBLE amount of information and have been telling a lot of people about what I've learned. I would have been so dumbfounded during the labor process if I didn't have the knowledge that you taught me.  So again, THANK YOU!"
–David Daly

"Thank you so much for teaching such a wonderful class. I found it so informative and helpful. My husband Dave was so excited to win a 'This Dad Supports Breastfeeding' t-shirt he plans to wear it on our next date!"
–Summer Bookout

"Your class helped so much during labor. Adam also did really well making sure that I was breathing and resting during contractions. The book you gave us came in very handy! Thank you, your class was awesome!"
–Karrissa White

"I just want to say thank you so much for your childbirth class. I learned so much. After 24 straight hours of back labor, breathing really came in handy! I did end up having nubain but I know that if I hadn't learned what we did from you I would have had a spinal, and I'm so glad I didn't!"
–Antoinette Costa

"I don't know what you did in the Prenatal Counseling sessions, but when Callie came home after her appointment with you she was like a new person, for the very first time she was actually looking forward to giving birth!"
– A father-to-be

"My cousin took a childbirth class at the same time as me in a different town. When she went into labor she was having back labor so I gave her a bunch of tricks over the phone which really helped her. Later she asked how I knew about all those comfort measures and I told her I learned them in Laurie's class. My cousin never learned any of these techniques in her class. We learned so much in Laurie's class that we talked about it up until bedtime and continued over coffee in the morning!"
–Stacey and Mike Dalbeck

"It was so helpful to go to the breastfeeding class before my son was born. Laurie's class is very practical and gave us many useful tips on how to get started with breastfeeding. It was informative, creative and fun! I highly recommend it to all expectant couples."
–Marish Finkler

"Thanks again for a great childbirth class. It is a great way for the dad to be involved. We both feel it was an important part of pregnancy and have learned so much. You answered questions that we didn't know to ask. I want to tell you that your powerpoint presentations were dynamic! The graphics were absolutely professional, interesting and easy to read. GREAT JOB!"
–Amanda Welbaert

"Thank you for sharing your passion with us! You are inspirational and touch peoples lives with your sensitivity and compassion. I feel so fortunate to have had you for my childbirth teacher."
–Andrea Hansen

"This class is a must! Laurie gave us so many different tools for coping in labor and she taught us in depth about all the different stages. My daughters birth went very well because I felt very prepared and I knew what to expect thanks to her class. Another great thing about Laurie is her passion. You can tell she loves babies and their mommies and sees birth as a wonderful miracle."
–Chelsea Cummins

"Thank you so much for taking the time to care, you have been such a huge help!"
–Desiree Belding

"I can't begin to tell you how much more confident I feel about breastfeeding when I left your class versus when I arrived!"
–Cameron Herzog

"Thank you for all of your support through the classes, we really enjoyed being a part of the group and it helped us tramendously."
–Michelle, Nick and Baby Bodley

"Thank you for the birthing classes, I was really able to relax and understand the process this time around."
–Jill Grassick

"What would I change about Laurie's classes?....Absolutely nothing!"
