I cannot express our gratitude to Abby enough for an amazing childbirth class! The information was excellent and presented in a way that was easy to understand. Abby truly taught from the heart, was more than willing to address our concerns, and answered any questions we had. |

"My partner and I had such a terrific L&D experience because of Jessica's support. We have also benefited from her postpartum and lactation support tremendously. I look forward to continued work with her and if I ever have another child she'll be the second, after my partner, to know! If you're considering working with Jessica my advice is to do it!"
