Testimonials

"Great format. As a nursing mom, I prefer the webinar format for lectures as it makes taking this course possible.”

“Great presentation – very clear and great visual aids!”, “It was really a great experience to be able to learn from professionals and then be able to take breaks and eat with my family at home as well as be able to get things done up until the time to sign on. Overall a really great experience. Thank you!”

“This was an awesome course. As someone who has never experienced birth, it gave me the perspective and knowledge needed to better understand my client’s experiences. I think I can better help them prepare for birth and give immediate postpartum advice. It also has sparked some lively discussion with some friends that are OBGYN residents. Hopefully this type of collaboration can help to change the culture of labor and delivery!”

“This course was packed full of excellent, applicable and ground breaking Intrapartum obstetric information. I feel like I could take this course 3 more times and learn something new each time.”

"I think that this course really added to my treatments that patients have come back with wonderful feedback to let me know that has been very helpful throughout their delivery process."
