My doula made this class a requirement. I attended, was active etc. Then comments started being mad (mind you my baby is extremely sick and a huge part of it is stress).

Honestly I don't think I would have achieved the birth outcome I desired (unmedicated VBAC!!) without Lydia. 10/10 would highly recommend. I was initially given educational videos to watch in regards to the type of birth I wanted. All throughout the concierge birth and doula service I was given educational information. It was A LOT of information however it was very relevant. I appreciate her providing us a monthly timeline of appointments and actions ... read more
