    ★★★★★

    "The day before our son was born, we were at the hospital and they wanted to induce my wife. They said the amniotic fluid was low and wanted to immediately induce her. I asked our informed consent questions we learned. Mom and baby were fine, but out of precaution they wanted to induce labor. My wife was very scared and we felt the peer pressure, but I pushed back and we left against the provider's advice. About 24 hours later, my wife started to experience active labor, we drove back to the hospital, and in 3 hours our son was born healthy. No intervention at all. If we hadn't met Jackai and Stephen, I wouldn't have known how to handle the pressure of the hospital staff. They tried to scare us, but I held my ground and advocated for my wife and child.

    Steven

  • Young parents kneeling with two children in front of garden of yellow flowers.

    ★★★★★

    "Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first, but the education around the birth process, diet requirements, and strategies for labor, hospital births, etc., is gold. Plus, you're learning from two medical professionals in a friendly and supportive environment. Completely changed my perspective on the birthing process. I can't recommend this enough for anyone expecting children, whether it's your first baby or your fifth."

  • Newborn and father laying on mother's chest staring lovingly at newborn baby.

    ★★★★★

    "They are truly passionate and care not only about the work they are doing to de-medicalize birth; but they genuinely care about their students and families. The love they show is evident and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our family is truly grateful for the connections we have built with them."

    "Steve and Jackai are AMAZING teachers. They gave me the confidence as a husband and coach to walk along side my wife through her pregnancy. The information taught was incredibly indispensable with our first pregnancy. Then when our second pregnancy happened they help us with a refresher and I felt confident and excited to welcome our second kiddo into this world. I could not give them enough praise and credit as they were a part of such a unforgettable experience in our lives. Highly highly highly recommend taking their course."

    "I felt a lot more at ease because of their instruction. They were also very helpful in navigating the stressful time of postpartum and gave helpful tips. I was able to deliver an almost ten pound baby without any medication, and my baby boy was born alert and eyeing everyone in the room with curiosity. It really was an amazing experience :)"
