Balancing Birth to Baby

My wife and I are expecting our first this July and we both found the weekend course incredibly informative. Instructors were knowledgeable and friendly and the content flew by. I learned a lot about what to expect going into birth, both for that whole experience and the time after the baby is born. I feel way more prepared than I felt going in and would highly recommend their courses.

We had such an awesome experience doing the weekend prenatal class with Balancing Birth To Baby! I feel much more prepared and confident going into birth/postpartum after taking this class. The lessons were super useful and informative without being overwhelming. I love that we got to practice practical skills like natural pain relief exercises to do with partners, swaddling, and changing diapers. I would highly recommend the full weekend class to any expecting first-time parents! (I debated doing the shortened version but I'm super glad we did the entire weekend one!!).

We recently completed the Weekend Prenatal Class series and really enjoyed the course. The instructors (Kourtney and Victoria) were kind, knowledgable, approachable and personable; they also moved through the material at a great pace, which we appreciated. Even though we had a basic understanding of labour/delivery and postpartum/baby care, we left the course feeling more confident and that we had learned new material too. Thank you Kourtney, Victoria and the Balancing Birth to Baby team for a great experience! We appreciate your passion, knowledge and the great work that you do.

Incredibly informative prenatal classes. It is so helpful to attend these in person classes and be able to ask questions to wonderful and professional facilitators. There is so much info out there on the internet and books that can become overwhelming, or not be specific to our community and location. These classes really helped us hone in on the important and relevant info we needed to know about birth and early days with baby. Incredibly helpful whether you are doing hospital birth with OB, midwife or home birth. The group environment was also incredibly supportive. Bronwyn went above and beyond to make sure we left feeling confident in our learning at such an important time in our lives. Thank you so much, we hope to return for more classes in the future!

I highly recommend the courses Balancing Birth to Baby offers!My husband and I took the Infant Safety Night class with Ricki and it was amazing. Ricki has extensive experience as a paramedic, first aid instructor, and mother. She shared personal experiences as well as the latest research related to infant care and safety. We left feeling confident in our abilities to handle a variety of emergency situations. Thanks to Ricki our stress levels have gone way down!!We also took the Natural Pain Management course with Bronwyn. It was extremely informative! Bronwyn’s passion for helping people through all parts of pregnancy/labour/postpartum is evident in the extensive knowledge and experience she shares with others. We learnt a wide variety of techniques for both the birthing person and the support person to use during labour. Plus, we were able to practice them under Bronwyn’s guidance, which gave us confidence in our abilities and greatly decreased our anxieties about labour. Highly recommend this course no matter what type of birth you are planning.

Working with this team was absolutely amazing. It made such a significant difference in how enjoyable and comfortable our first month with our little one went. I highly recommend their prenatal classes as well as their postpartum doula care - both day and night hours!

We had an incredible experience with Bronwyn and Cassi! Bronwyn had attended our birth and it was the greatest decision to hire them! We had a very eventful birth and without Bronwyn there to support us I don’t know what we would have done, she was a god send for us in helping us be calm and she was such a good presence to have for my girlfriend! If you are considering hiring any of there doulas, do it you will not regret it at all!

We needed postpartum support and my doulas were really helpful. They took care of my baby while I spent time resting and provided guidance on how to take care of my baby i.e swaddling, giving her bath and get rid of gas.They were also my emotional support as they listened and provided their insights and also how hard it is being a first time mother and how I was doing a great job.My doula loved my baby so much that I was comfortable leaving her with them while I took time to recover.Thank you so much!We really appreciate all that you have done for us.

My husband and I attended the Full Prenatal Weekend" class

My husband and I had great experience with this caring team. They did everything in their power to accommodate our changing needs during pregnancy, for birth and postpartum. I signed up with the team early during my pregnancy and they were great in checking in with me routinely to see how was I feeling and addressing my needs and concerns. I don't know how I could go through this past year without them. Thank you so much for all your kind souls.
