TESTIMONIALS



  • Kelly Ryan
    Kendall and Camilla's Telluride Childbirth class is an amazing value and I recommend it to anyone and everyone who is expecting. I am amazed at the amount of support my husband and I received throughout our pregnancy journey. Kendall and Camilla bring an impressive wealth of real world birthing experience to the class. One of the things I found most refreshing was the appreciation and knowledge of both traditional hospital techniques and procedures as well as more natural options. It is also really helpful that we are now both working from the same base of information which is really helpful when making decisions. If you are expecting and you live in the area, you really should consider taking this class!
