Here’s some of the positive feedback from the last course:

“This was an excellent course and a lot of thought, research, hard work, and love went into it – that is obvious. It was comforting to find a community of others who are really taking the time to plan for conception and parenthood, because I don’t find that among my local community. Great job, Sara. Really and truly. This course was a big help to me and I will definitely recommend it to others!”

“I think that this course really shines in the lessons that require self-reflection. You brought up several issues that I hadn’t really considered.”

“Thanks to all the reflection, guided discussions, and useful advice from this course, [my] worry/fear has pretty much disappeared. My partner and I have figured out what ‘ready’ means to us, and it’s not as hard as we thought it would be to get there. We have a short to-do list with achievable goals. I’m happy to be where I am right now in my life.”

“Thanks for taking the time to put all of this information together and for sharing so much of yourself with us. I enjoyed the course.”

“After working through the course I feel much more comfortable with the idea of having a child and much more prepared to expand my family.”

“I was very ambivalent about having a child before taking this course. I now know that my husband and I are more prepared than I thought we were to have a child. For the areas in which we need some work, I now have concrete action steps to complete…It’s wonderful to actually be excited about this next step instead of fearful or unsure.”

“I have a long way to go, but I want to work on myself before having a baby. This course has helped me identify concrete areas that need work.”
