"Jeannie did a wonderful job helping us to feel at ease through her friendly personality and humor. Her teaching style hit the right spot through her blend of written material, interactive exercises, stories, videos and general shenanigans. I highly recommend her class."

-Pastor Grant Eckhart, with

wife Tammy and baby Grayson

"My husband and I are so glad we took Jeannie's class! Although we had "our ideal birth plan", that is not how our birth happened... Thankfully, we had the knowledge to make informed decisions throughout the birthing process. Thanks Jeannie!!"

"My husband and I appreciated that she presented the course material in a manner that was informative and fun. There were times in class where I literally had tears running down my face from laughing so hard. We learned and practiced ways to cope for a natural birth. We highly recommend her classes!"

- Christine and Chris Naykki

"Jeannie was SO helpful and informative! She explained things very clearly and was very open to people asking questions. She expelled many of our fears and showed us that natural birth (if we chose to do so) was something quite achievable."
