Testimonials for Birthing with BAM Childbirth Prep Class
"Very thankful to be with the midwives and extra thankful for this class Caren! It allowed me to learn so much and since I knew what could happen allowed me to cry before we went to the hospital which I like to say started my contractions!"

One of our best decisions before our little guy arrived was taking Caren’s class! We cannot recommend it enough. Initially we were not sure about birthing classes and what to expect, and whether or not it was worth it for us. That quickly changed.
From the first time I spoke with Caren, I had completely changed my mind. She is fantastic and her class is so, so helpful! You can instantly see her passion for helping and educating expecting parents on this journey. Her caring and personal demeanor, coupled with her knowledge make for a wonderful experience.
I have been very scared of giving birth for as long as I can remember, and this gave me confidence and comfort heading into it. When the big day arrived, we felt prepared and had a clear sense of what to expect (as best you can at least). In the end, we had a wonderful experience and I was able to enjoy moments of my little guys birth! Something I didn’t think was possible.
We cannot thank Caren enough and no doubt others in our class felt the same! If you are considering taking her class or partnering with her as your doula, just do it! You will be so happy with your decision!

Caren's class was essential in preparing us to have a wonderful delivery. It gave us so many tips on how to be ready emotionally and physically for the birth, from how to help the baby get in the right position to different techniques to get through contractions. Caren is very caring and extremely passionate about babies, birth and helping new parents. Her dedication comes through in every class. Our favorite part of Birthing with BAM was the in-person (socially distanced) session where we got to see the comfort measures in action. I highly recommend Caren's class to anyone giving birth with BAM. You'll be in great hands!

This class (an absolute Godsend) gave us the confidence to make all the decisions we needed to make during the whole birthing/postpartum process. Most importantly, it gave my husband the information and skills he needed to support me as my sole birth partner during COVID-19. At the hospital, we received the comment several times from nurses, "oh, you must have been working with a doula," because we knew what we were doing and had such confidence during our labor process. We didn't have a doula, but we did have this class, which made all the difference!
Caren was very caring, direct, and knowledgeable. 10/10 we would highly recommend this class to anyone!

Brian and I are so happy and pleased that we signed up for your virtual Birthing with BAM class. You provided and armed us with an abundance of material at a good pace and shared visuals in your presentations to help mentally prepare for the big day!
Given the current SIP orders, we could not attend in-person courses elsewhere so I’m glad that we had the opportunity to participate in your virtual Birthing with BAM class.
