" I really enjoyed every minute of the classes, and I learnt so much! I loved the format of having everything on Google classroom, and I feel like the live zoom calls ended up being so much more productive since we all watched to video beforehand and just addressed the specific questions during the live. The videos were really clear, and I love that I can look back at it and have everything (including the extensive resources section!) saved in the Google classroom. I also found that the classes weren’t too drawn out, but we still covered everything I wanted to hear more about it. I really appreciated that we explored both medicated and unmedicated births from an unbiased perspective."
