I am a midwife in town and mom of 3 girls. I took the Postpartum Recovery class twice—after my 2nd and 3rd baby. Even with my base knowledge I felt that I gained new insight and information each time. The instructor provides excellent cues for helping you engage your core and pelvic floor correctly as you move through different exercises. It was so nice to have a relaxed, non-judgmental space where I could show up with my baby and be with other moms as we figure out how to start building back strength after pregnancy and birth. I would highly highly recommend this class!

Love this class and Emily so much. It’s so much more than a fitness class. Not only did I take this class with my first but I came back for another round with my second! It really helped me reconnect with my body after birth and gave me something positive and healthy to look forward to postpartum with both kiddos. Very thankful to have this resource!!

—Jessica Breidenbach
We really loved Prep4Partner. So helpful as FT parents. We feel it really helped my husband gain skills and working knowledge to help him be a good birth partner. Emily is inviting and welcoming. The class was fun and went by quickly. She gives a ton of resources and insights. Highly recommend.

I have taken the Prep4Birth and Prep4Partner class with Emily and they were both incredibly helpful! Not only do I feel more prepared for labor but I also feel like I have a good understanding of the tools available to me (birth ball, peanut ball, CUB, etc.) and my husband also now has had hands on experience with all of these things! The Prep4Partner class gave great tips for helping me through labor but also was a great bc conversation started for my husband and I of things to expect and talk through before birth! I’m so thankful we chose this class and have already recommended it to other soon to be mommas!

Emily is absolutely wonderful! The class gave me everything I needed for my postpartum recovery. It gave me the confidence to get my body back to moving. It’s made me feel safe in the gym and gave me the tools to learn my new body. It was so great meeting new moms!!

—Emma Moseley
My husband and I enjoyed the Prep4Partner class so much!! Emily spent hours going through so much amazing material to help educate and prepare myself and my husband for as much as possible prior to my birth. It was such a great way for partners to be involved and educate them to support you during birth. Afterwards, it put myself and my husband at ease knowing that we had all of these tools at our disposal to use during birth. Anyone who is looking for a great birth prep class should absolutely sign up as this class is so hands on and unlike anything else that is offered.

I took the postpartum recovery class with Emily after my baby was born and I cannot recommend this class enough. It was so fun to start moving again with other moms in a similar stage of life. The class is at a very reasonable pace and builds each week with practical exercises for a very hectic stage of life. I will be recommending this class to all my pregnant friends.
