"I just wanted to drop you a little note to say how helpful and calming your classes are. I am feeling pretty nervous about labour this time round and am needing to get myself in a better head-space about it. You and your classes are helping enormously with that, as I knew they would. You are very good at what you do and it's very inspiring to meet someone who is so passionate about what they do." Kate Bull, 09
