“When we found Natalie and saw the class she was advertising and what all it entailed, we jumped and signed up because it went over stuff we actually didn’t know yet but wanted to! Again, she kept us all engaged and thoroughly went over the thing people DON’T normally figure that are important! Both my partner and I learned so much and are so grateful we ended up taking her class as we learned so much even down to practicing positions! We both 10/10 recommend for any parents but especially new parents!”
