I just watched your Pelvic Dynamics Relative to Fetal Station webinar. I am SO impressed, and want to learn ALL the information! I honestly could (and likely will) watch the video numerous times! I am so excited to use what I have learned with my clients and my own upcoming birth :)
Looking forward to learning more, and so excited that my dear friend told me about you! Thank you for all you do for laboring families and birth professionals.
