What students have reported after the workshop......
Amy, a doula, from Edmonton, Canada reported this just three weeks after the training.
"just had my first experience in an undisturbed birth and it was truly amazing. I automatically stayed grounded and calm. The energy in the room was so serene and loving. I am still on a high. Mom and dad said it was the best experience they've ever had. I am just so happy that I was able to be a part of it, and I know that my confidence is as a result of your gentle birth guardian training."
Andrea, a doula from Calgary, Canada applied new techniques only 5 days after the workshop!
“I had a prenatal visit with a client last night and used some of the new techniques I learned in the workshop. After weeks of "could this be it" prodromal labour signs, she gave birth to a baby boy just 10 hours after our session! She had a 3.5 hour labor and a great birth. I can't wait to take many more women to this place of peaceful, calm birth. Thank you so much Nadine for giving me this gift.”
Jennifer, a certified hypnotherapist from Victoria, BC, Canada wrote these comments....
"I really felt the love and respect in the environment in your workshop. It was a personal transformation. I am so very grateful and looking forward to spreading this important information and way of being."
