    I will always sing my praises of Jessica Lang-Kosa and Catherine McKeown-Lindsey! Both women have helped me in tremendous ways and upon reflection, our shared interactions bring tears to my eyes. My birth and breastfeeding would have looked significantly different had I not had their support, education and care early on in my parenting.
    ...
    Jessica, yet another gem from this group, I owe the extension of my natural birth into natural parenting to. ... Now, I've nursed 4.5 years successfully because of her guidance.
    On the other side of those two daunting living room scenes, with Catherine and then Jessica at my side, I am a mother who feels empowered and in tune with my body and its innate connection to my children. ... My hope is that in sharing the stories of how truly exceptional and wonderful these two women are that your path crosses with theirs too.

    12 days ago, I had my second son in a home water birth that was nothing short of incredible and exactly the environment my husband and I were looking for. I cannot say enough about Catherine. From the moment we met her, she put us at ease with her demeanor, her knowledge, and her experience. The care I received throughout my pregnancy was so in depth, and so personalized. A complete 180 from the hospital-based care I received with my older son. To be in the comfort of our home, surrounded by an incredible team that we trusted completely and had a wonderful relationship with was all that we could've asked for. We are so grateful!

    Wonderful experience with Christine Fischer-Rothman, who taught the Birthing from Within class. ... I felt much better prepared having taken the class as it forced me to think through the entire process.

    Christine also has an independent business offering lactation support. ... She went above and beyond to offer support and guidance.
