We enjoyed the specific positions where my spouse got to learn how he could make me more comfortable, and the hands on component was great!
Kristin was very approachable. I loved learning things my husband can do to support me and be a part of the birth process.

This class made myself and my husband feel more excited and relaxed about the birthing process. We had a lot of questions that were answered thoroughly and were enlightened on many things we didn’t even know to think about! Thank you, Kristin, for a wonderful class.
It was a very comfortable, engaging class where it was easy to ask questions and feel like it was personalized. I feel more confident and at ease with what to expect when going into labor.
I recently had the pleasure of taking Alyssa’s Newborn Class and she is a life saver!! I had taken a few classes through our hospital that had good information but Alyssa was able to put everything in a real life setting. I highly recommend her and her services, you will not regret it!
Your class was educational and reassuring that we can get through this together.
I would recommend this class - we both thought it was very helpful and enjoyable. It made us feel more confident in the process while also giving us other aspects we should think and discuss more. We learned a lot about what position options there were and how my partner can best support me. Learning about how the setting can be very personalized to set you up for success.
For us it was a great starting point for communicating our wants and needs for the laboring and delivery process. It was great to have a guide for questions on comfortability with different topics.
Anyone who is a first-time mom and dad preparing for birth would find this course helpful. Overall it's just an overwhelming amount of information to take in and having this class to kind of get into the basics was helpful and also made it so I left having a little bit more of an idea of how the day you give birth goes.
Very engaging and interactive! I learned so much about medical and non medical pain management. I learned about ways to make my birthing experience more tailored to my own needs and wants.
The Comfort Measures class helped calm our minds knowing all of the options we have and knowing that our doula will be there to suggest them. It was also nice to be able to practice some positions and touches to prepare my husband. We also truly appreciate Kristin being willing to hold the session privately rather than virtually.
