"I hired Salli to help me prepare my partner to be my labor support person. I was expecting a workshop...and was blown away by the personal revolution Salli sparked in my partner! He was an AWESOME and prepared partner and as a result of Salli's focus on bonding, is the most wonderfully nurturing father. Thanks, Salli!" Laura Brookover

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT SALLI's CLASSES
"Our experience in Salli's childbirth class was better than we could have expected. This class was very inclusive where both partners learned about their role and value in the birth process. We were provided information that not only informed us of the process but left us feeling encouraged and empowered to believe that we would be able to make it through labor and maybe even enjoy it.
Salli is very knowledgeable and passionate about both pregnancy and labor. She provided an audience-centered class that tapped into the students' beliefs of birthing and personal feelings about labor. This allowed us to feel like our feelings really mattered. Salli allowed everyone to ask questions and was able to provide information through personal knowledge but also with handouts and videos. We were able to check out books and received a thorough binder of valuable information. We also enjoyed the techniques Salli taught us and I am reassured about having something to help me relax while in labor. I highly recommend this class for anyone that might be feeling a bit of anxiety about the labor process. Thank you Salli for a great class."
