New Parent Educator, Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Postpartum Doula, Creator of Bringing Home Baby through Surrogacy, and a mom who remembers exactly how overwhelming those early weeks can feel.
“Thank you so much for this course. It was so informative without being overwhelming. We feel so much more prepared to bring our baby home. You provided an opportunity for an open and judgment-free dialogue and responded to our questions thoroughly. You struck the right balance of acknowledging us as intended parents when it was important while just treating us like any other parents-to-be most of the time. I could not recommend this course highly enough to any other intended parents.”
“Before starting the class, we felt anxious and unprepared. We had no idea what to do when we had to bring the baby home from the hospital. However, once we started the class, all those feelings disappeared quickly, like blazing quickly. Jaquie is incredible! She is calming, knowledgeable, and so reassuring. She puts things into bite-size terms and provides us with so much information.”
“Jaquie's class helped me recognize gaps in my knowledge, and immediately filled them - I found the class super helpful and comforting in that it both covered new and incredibly detailed information, and also reassured me that what I'd been researching on my own was on the right path.”
