Kind Words
I loved my experience with the my fourth trimester support circle this summer, led by Katie. As a first time mom and newcomer to LI, without many friends or family around, post partum was such a period of unknowns, anxieties, and huge hurdles for me. Knowing I had the group gave me something to look forward to every Monday. After just the first class I immediately felt welcomed and understood that all the pressure was off, we could just up as we were and everything would be ok. I tell all my friends how lucky I am to have had this group and have built new friendships from it. We all rely on each other still for advice and recommendations. I’ll be forever grateful for the support gained from the group, every woman should have access to something like this. You’ve built a beautiful community.
During prenatal Ed The first class we covered was birthing 101 and I was amazed about how much information I just learned that seemed like a secret! I left thinking why hasn’t my doctors office ever told me even 1% of this info?? It’s like you don’t know what you don’t know … I can’t ask questions without having any context. This class changed everything for me. I interviewed doulas, created a birthing plan, and started to take charge of my expectations about my birth and what my experience would be rather than what I originally intended which was “I’ll just show up to the hospital and see and happens”. Glad I didn’t ! This class (out of the entire series) should be required for all pregnant ped to why I had such an amazing birth and delivery experience —- I 100% attribute being informed and advocating for myself to The Nesting Place and my doula.
Prenatal massage with Tabatha was incredible! She was kind, knowledgeable, and the massage was the best I’ve ever had. I was nervous when trying to find a massage therapist with prenatal experience, but was very comforted by Tabatha’s expertise! I will return!
