What Families Are Saying

Dasha was absolutely amazing!! My husband and I learned so much from her class and feel so much more prepared going into our home birth. She took so much time answering all of our questions and it felt so calming and fun. Absolutely love her!

Love Dasha! Took her Childbirth Prep class and got so much from it!! If you only take one childbirth class, I'd recommend this one. She covers the stages of labor, the signs, how birth partners can be the best support at the various stages, we built a birth plan, and she covered postpartum care- which no other birth class I've taken covered. You get every dollars worth with this class and then some! 10/10 would recommend :)

Dasha is the best!! My husband and I attended Dasha's birth prep course! We were eager to learn about not only the physical aspects of birth but also wanted to learn about how my partner could support me in the entire birth process. Dasha was amazing at answering any questions we had and validated our fears/concerns! We loved getting to have hands on practice with her! Being able to practice birthing positions and get one on one attention and guidance was SO VALUABLE! She provided opportunities for us to talk and brainstorm as a group how to approach situations when they come up in birth. Afterwards, my husband and I had a great conversation on our drive home about how much we had learned and how we envisioned our birth. I highly recommend working with Dasha! She is down to earth and is great at giving you practical skills to utilize in the labor process not only as the mom, but also gave a lot of insight for the birthing partner! I am more confident and excited going into my birth after learning from her!!

My husband and I both took this class via Zoom with Dasha. We found it incredibly helpful as first time parents. Dasha was articulate, her material was relavent and up to date, and it was clear Dasha has a lot of real life experience to draw from. My husband mentioned later how much more confident he felt as we are getting closer to our due date in what to expect. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a childbirth education class.

I thoroughly enjoyed the childbirth class with Dasha! There tends to be so much overstimulation of information on the Internet, and it is really hard to organize things in a way that makes it easy to understand on what matters most... and how to make the best decisions for my family. Dasha did an incredible job, organizing everything in a cohesive and coherent manner that took it from beginning through the end of childbirth. There were a lot of educational components, especially tied to the biological and medical intricacies of the birth process, Dasha made very easy to understand. Her sense of humor definitely makes it easier to get through a class! I'll definitely be attending her future classes.
