“We absolutely loved Lou’s birth class!

She’s so knowledgeable and made us feel really heard when we had any questions or concerns. She also would always follow up the next day with cheat sheets after the classes for us to have on hand in case we couldn’t remember something. She not only gave me a better understanding of what to expect, but made my fiancé feel so at ease with the birthing process and how he could be my best support person.”

“My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent learning from Lou!

She takes a holistic approach to birth focusing on the physical, mental, and emotional aspects. We learned coping mechanisms and breathing techniques which I took into birth and were invaluable during each contraction. We also went through what postpartum looks like. As first-time parents, this lesson helped paint a realistic picture of what to expect in the weeks after birth.”

– ALI & PETER

“Lou-Ann has a very loving energy, lots of knowledge and experience.

She was flexible when booking our dates, communication went smooth and we just enjoyed so much meeting her at our home for four Sundays to learn what to expect and lots of practical tools to end the class feeling more prepared for the birth of our first baby. We absolutely loved Lou-Ann and recommend her birthing class!!!”

“The class gives you information, pain coping strategies and mindset exercises, but the real gift is Lou-Ann herself.

My husband and I took Lou-Ann's 4-week class, —Overflow—in a 1-on-1 virtual setting. We really enjoyed the classes and feel much more prepared for birth and early postpartum. The class gives you information, pain coping strategies and mindset exercises, but the real gift is Lou-Ann herself. She is motherly, informed and kind. We felt so cared for both practically and emotionally.”

“I can’t imagine going into labor without taking this class!

My husband and I opted for the in-home one-on-one course. Which was an excellent option for the end of my pregnancy to not have to go somewhere. After having our baby girl, I felt that my experience was shaped by the information that we received. We had an unplanned issue arise and we understood what it all meant, was equipped to knowledgeably talk to the staff, select our course of action and most importantly, not panic or become afraid. Not only was birth easier, I feel more prepared to advocate for my family and I with healthcare practitioners in general.”

“We were so blessed by you, your passion, and your knowledge surrounding natural childbirth.

Being empowered, feeling much more prepared & settled in God's plan for us were all results of the time and conversations we have had over the last four weeks. We were so blessed by you, your passion, and your knowledge surrounding natural childbirth. Without you, I don’t think we would have felt this prepared and ready for what's to come. I hate that our four weeks ended so quickly, but we were so grateful for the time spent. Thank you for all the time & resources that you provided to us. We will definitely be utilizing them.”

— CHELSEY & JON

“I personally wanted to take this time to thank you, for mentally preparing me to accept the birth that I had.

I already miss being pregnant and feeling the little kicks and rolls, and all I tend to think about is how I would do it all over again, and what I would do differently, but I also find it hilarious that I could do so many things right and do so many things over again, and still have an unexpected birth each time and that's honestly the beauty that you helped me realize.”

— MELISSA

“I don’t have all the right words of gratitude worked out yet for all you taught us. We needed it all, and on top of that received a lot of grace.

Labor was so much harder than I could have imagined, but in the hardest times I heard your voice encouraging me to press on, reminding that at the end of this, I would get to meet my baby. You were right—holding her for the first time was even more amazing than I could have ever dreamed. Thank you for the gift you offer to the world as an educator and a light."
