"Thank you for your class. Even though we attended [the live virtual streaming option], we got so much out of it and were deeply impressed by your wealth of knowledge. You’re truly an encyclopedia for all things birth-related, and your energy and passion for the material transcended through the screen." - Nora B. |
Just wanted to say thank you again for the series of birth classes. They were crucial in preparing me for labor and I could not have gone unmedicated without the information you provided nor the confidence it instilled in me. Staying active during labor made all the difference and only having to be on my back during cervical checks and not during labor or the pushing stage was huge! - Vicky B. and Dave S. |
Just wanted to check in and say thanks again for the great birth class. |
I just wanted to reach out to you and thank you for all of the information provided in the one day birthing class! We had an incredibly smooth delivery, I used the exercise ball up until we went to the hospital, where we found out I was already 8cm dilated! My husband was an excellent coach, and I think that has a lot to do with feeling prepared for a natural delivery from your class. |
I wanted to reach out to you and say thank you again! We heard about your class from our good friends and although I was initially hesitant about us attending a 5 hour birth class they reassured us that it was going to be amazing. They were SO right and Chris and I could not be happier! I feel as though your class developed my innate strength and confidence by providing practical, hands-on tools and advice for the unmedicated birth that I desire; your class was well balanced, comprehensive and very engaging; you prepared us to communicate well with our primary providers, each other and to make choices about interventions. Thank you for the evidence you provided. Your expertise were undeniable and we believe that you helped to prepare both of us. We look forward to reading the materials that you shared and began to dive into during class.

Thank you SO MUCH for this wealth of information and for such a wonderful class on Saturday!!! My husband, Orrin, and I can’t stop talking about how much we learned and the level of confidence you have given us leading up to the birth of our daughter! I have already recommended your class to some parents to be that I know. - Blessings and gratitude, Natasha W. |
Chock-full of great information, upbeat and empowering. Shifted my whole understanding of the role of the partner from someone giving back rubs to someone who can and should advocate for birth we want so that i can spend more time in the zone. Also had no idea about the 90 second cord cutting wait or that eating and drinking are good for labor. Or that lying on your back is the worst position you can be in to help the baby along. This and so much more. Thank you, Britt, for giving us your Saturday and imparting so much knowledge. - Alice G. |
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the information you shared. You did such a great job at educating us on all the important points of birthing. Each class was so informative and helpful. I can’t image not taking your class. I would totally be so lost. |
I'd like to thank you for making our virtual class so personal! I love that you welcome questions and comments from all of us and how hands-on the class itself is. I especially enjoyed the different pelvis presentations - I never knew that the pelvis could move in so many different ways or the variety of movements that we can do to anticipate and help the ease of childbirth! I greatly look forward to the next two weeks! |

Thank you SO much for everything. I feel so much more prepared than I would have otherwise. The info packets and class materials are awesome to have and I'm going to print them out today to have easy access to them in the hospital.
I can't stress enough what a perfect fit for me your class was...the perfect mix of crunchy and scientific.
I am all about the holistic way of doing things but not at the cost of completely ignoring the advances of medical science (medical science has saved my mom's life on so many occasions- she has a ton of tubes and things due to her MS that make living possible and pleasant for her despite being wheelchair bound for over 20 years now). I appreciated learning about the natural side of things but also that it never felt preachy or like all of western medicine is bad news.
Thank you soooo much for doing what you do in the way you do it! I'll definitely update you as to how it all goes when Baby comes! Instead of feeling scared I mostly feel excited about it all! And most likely you'll be seeing me again for another workshop or two. - Lisa S.
I cannot thank you enough for all of your guidance, information, and support during my pregnancy and postpartum period. John and I found your classes very informative, and well-worth attending. While nothing can truly prepare you for childbirth and life with a newborn, we felt as informed as we could have been. I'm grateful that your classes were recommended to us and that we got the opportunity to meet you. You've been a great resource. |
My wife and I were fortunate enough to take Brittany’s classes on both childbirth preparation and infant care. I was telling a friend recently about the classes, and was asked: “But couldn’t you just read about that stuff in a book?” It struck me that that’s the wrong question: there are plenty of great sources for information out there. But it’s not an either/or situation. Our experience with Brittany was hugely enriching and rewarding. It’s one thing to have — as she does — a great compendium of knowledge. But it’s another to be able to communicate that knowledge in a super-engaging, concise and structured format, and with passion, humor and sensitivity. To say these classes were an education is an understatement. They were a gift. And we're deeply grateful for having experienced them. - Mark and Nicole J. |
