"I felt like so much of the Antenatal class education we received focussed on the birth. But this class opened my eyes. I had no idea how I was going to support my wife in the days after we came home and what having a new baby in the house would be like." So helpful!

New Dad, Ben

Cathy's vast knowledge, easygoing nature and ability to answer even the silliest questions without making us feel useless, helped us a lot, particularly during those overwhelming first weeks. The most valuable thing Cathy taught us was to trust our instinct. As new parents we were overwhelmed with information, which was sometimes conflicting. It turns out we knew all along what was best for us and our baby, by following our gut instinct!"
