"My partner and I took Janet's private birthing class and loved it.For the same price you'd pay for many a Manhattan 'group' class, Janet comes to your home and gives a thorough and personalized private session. Scheduling was a breeze and she is incredibly responsive on email.”

"It's obvious she's been doing this a long a time and her integrity and broad knowledge base are evident right away. As well, she is a certified lactation consultant, so she'll touch on breastfeeding as part of the class if you're interested."
Michelle
NY parent
"Janet uses props, charts, handouts; everything you'll need to visualize, feel and imagine the transformational journey you're about to undertake.This is so comforting in later stages of pregnancy, when you're tired all the time, plus the 1:1 attention cannot be beat. She also explains everything patiently and carefully and is a warm, kind easygoing person."
