"Dagmar’s teaching was easy to understand and follow, very welcoming and inviting to participate and express thoughts or question. It’s helped me and my partner have a better understanding, as we have no experience with babies yet." - Brayden

"This course has changed the way my partner and I plan to parent our daughter. It’s opened up our minds to different, more supportive and respectful ways of doing things. I liked Dagmar’s warm, open and positive attitude and the opportunity and space to come to our own conclusions about the concepts." - Indigo

"We liked meeting with other parents and chatting about other aspects of parenting that are not always included in antenatal classes, which tend to focus more on the pregnancy rather than life with a new baby. I would definitely recommend this to any new parent that wants to feel a bit more prepared for their little one." -Sarah & Tyler
