Feedback from parents...
"A few weeks ago I attended your Healing Birth Story Workshop. I wanted to let you know how much it truly helped me. I have been able to see my son's birth in a new, and much better light. The thought of everything that went wrong no longer haunts me. Just today, for the first time in a VERY long time, I said I trusted my body. I shocked myself saying that, but it's true. You helped me to be able to trust my body to do what it was designed to do. Thank you so much!" ~a mother
"Thank you again for the wonderful class. We learned so much and we employed many of the techniques we learned in the class during labor...We also were able to approach the birth in a unified way. Several times during labor, [my partner] reminded me of a way to breath, focus, and "be" -- whether it was to relax and go to my pain." ~ a mother
Juji's classes "helped him understand better and be more compassionate...helped him understand how to help and be a part of the labor...strengthened our communication and relationship" ~a mother
"I feel I understand the birthing process better & am more aware of what my wife might need." ~ a dad
"When I first read the words "birthing from within" I wanted nothing of it. In my mind, that stuff didn't apply to me. I went to class out of obligation and with a closed mind.
It ended up being a very practical and fact-based. We were taught specific "tools" on how to get through all kinds of situations, including when things didn't go as planned. Now looking back on everything, we ended up using a lot of what we learned from this class. It helped us to be better prepared for all aspects of birth, including how to handle situations with folks who weren't keen on our choices. Juji was very respectful of my own stubbornness and comfort levels. Without this class, things would not have gone as well for us; I would've been stumbling in the dark with no idea what to expect. Thanks!" ~a dad

" Hi Juji- I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you again for all of your enthusiasm, help, and support during my labor and birth... you were absolutely phenomenal, a truly calming presence, and you really helped me regain my focus when I'd lose it, and motivated me to try new positions when I was afraid to do so. I am really glad you were a part of our birth - I clearly remember a lot of the things you were telling me while I was laboring, and they helped me a lot to stay strong.... I had a much more difficult time with this labor than I did the last time around... You are definitely a fantastic midwife, and if you ever need someone to attest to that you are welcome to refer them in my direction!! :)" ~ a mother
