Newborn Parenting - Class Feedback
This was a phenomenal class, well worth our time and the cost. Rachel was comforting, engaging, and relatable. We also appreciated her vulnerability and honesty. Also she was very understanding of the needs of a pregnant lady and encouraged body breaks and gave lots reminders to stand and stretch and offered alternate seating. Thank you!
Rachel is a true pro and I would take another class from her in a heartbeat!
I enjoyed the tone/vibe - so much about parenting seems high-stakes, scare tactics - this felt comforting and empowering while still telling me what I need to know​
Rachel was such a great teacher and completely hilarious, so she made it really fun and easy to sit through this class. The information was great and very useful - thank you!​
Me and my partner didn't know what to expect from this in-person class, but we were so grateful we took it. As I'm sure other new parents feel, we were stressed and felt unprepared. We walked away from this class feeling so much more confident and ready to take on the challenges of caring for a newborn. Rachel is one of the best facilitators I've come across and I'm thankful we were able to experience her through this class!​
It was so useful! The class was very funny and educational. I felt like it was a great use of my time, and I have already recommended it highly to friends. Rachel was fantastic.​​
How did Rachel do to make these hours (esp. on a warm sunny day!) go by so quickly? The class was instructive and entertaining, extremely rewarding and motivating, emotional at times and empowering. And really funny as well!​
Rachel was engaging, knowledgeable, and personable. She presented the content in a way that made the information stick with me and my partner. As a previous facilitator myself, I can say that Rachel is REALLY good at her job keeping the content simple, to the point, and entertaining. She kept the group engaged and moved through the content with ease. I especially appreciated her personal anecdotes and honesty about specific topics.​
This class was amazing! I would say the most valuable out of any of the classes we took. Thank you Rachel! We will never forget this experience - walked away feeling so much more confident in ourselves!​
Thank you thank you! I also appreciated the efforts at inclusion. we are using a surrogate and b/c of my history of breast cancer, cannot breastfeed and I felt totally included in the conversations around feeding here so thank you!
Rachel was engaging, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable! I feel more prepared now regarding what to realistically expect regarding how to care for newborns and how to care for ourselves as new parents.
We loved how thoroughly Rachel went through each of the topics while also maintaining a great sense of humour and lightheartedness!​​
Rachel answered many of the questions I had, and many I didn’t think about in an easy to understand way with tips and tricks that (seem) easy to apply at home. She didn’t make me feel like I had to do things a certain way and that I can find what works for me and my baby. She is entertaining and presents the right level of information without making the whole thing seem overwhelming​​
Rachel was very knowledgeable, engaging, and comforting. It’s a lot of information to take in as a first time parent, but Rachel made the content approachable and we didn’t feel overwhelmed at all. Her takeaways, advice, and short mantras eased our anxiety and made us feel more confident that we have the tools we need going into this process​
Rachel was incredibly helpful when we tried things hands on. We feel more prepared and had a great time. Rachel’s teaching style (and humor!) made the class come to life​
She made everything entertaining enough to be memorable and engaging, while still driving home the gravity of what we’re about to take on. Truly incredible teaching style and actually enjoyed ourselves while learning a ton!​
Loved Rachel, she’s amazing and passionate about what she does. We appreciated her approach to all things Newborn Parenting and found this very helpful.​
Rachel is an amazing teacher and super grateful to have taken this class with her. We feel so much calmer because of it!​
Rachel was excellent. Her experience, knowledge, humor and understanding will stick with me.​
