"What a blessing it was that our doctor suggested Melanie's C-section class after my baby was in the breech presentation.I especially appreciated how Melanie walked us through what happens during a C-section procedure (complete with scrubs). This was invaluable to me and I was fully prepared when I arrived in the OR for the real deal.During the class, Melanie was very sensitive to my position as a 39 week pregnant mother with a breech baby.She led us through a very meaningful discussion regarding fear that helped me let go and embrace our birth story.We went from being scared and horrified, to appreciating and celebrating the blessing of it.For anyone close to full term, this is a necessary class and especially for mamas facing C-sections.This class will transform the unwanted C-section from something scary to something that is part of your beautiful birth story." – Emily
"I’m so glad I took the Cesarean Preparation Class. I feel much more prepared mentally and was able to identify several areas that I didn’t know were emotional triggers for me and work on dealing with them prior to the Cesarean.Being in the medical fiend I’ve participated in C-sections before and understood the mechanics of the operation.This class dealt with the emotional aspects as well as explaining the operation in layman’s way which was extremely beneficial. I would recommend this class to all couples going through a Cesarean. " -Mary McVeity P.A.-C
"This was a great class! My first thought when I heard we were doing this class: “I have done a few C-sections before”, that should be enough preparation.However, you quickly showed us that this class is not about the medical/technical part of C-sections and more about C-sections through the eyes and emotions of a parent. I would definitely recommend this class." – Dr. Juan Meija, MD
