If I could give Terry more than 5 stars, I would. She has truly been a lifesaver for me and my…read morebaby. From the very beginning of our breastfeeding journey, I felt overwhelmed, uncertain, and honestly ready to give up, but Terry changed everything. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, but she brings so much warmth, empathy, and encouragement to every session. She met me exactly where I was, never made me feel judged, and gave me practical, realistic steps that actually worked. Every time I talked with her, I walked away feeling supported, confident, and hopeful again. Terry didn't just help me learn how to breastfeed, she helped me believe I could do it. I truly wouldn't be where I am today without her. My baby and I are thriving thanks to her guidance and care. If you're even thinking about getting help with breastfeeding, pumping, or anything lactation-related, don't hesitate. Terry is absolutely the best there is.

Hillary has been seeing my children, 11 and 13, for the last year. She has been amazing and…read morechanged our lives. I interviewed quite a few therapists when looking for the right person for our family. What impresses me about her is her level of commitment, care and desire to help. I came to her not because my children had issues, but because I wanted them to have the tools to deal emotionally that I did not have growing up. My children could not be more different. They have two different perspectives and yet, she is able to see it from their eyes with a level of patience that I do not possess. My daughter is having problems socializing and Hillary is able to speak with her with a level of compassion, kindness, and intelligence that has worked really well for her. In the time that we have worked with Hillary, my daughter has grown in confidence, in her ability to speak cogently and her spark for life. It is wonderful when you see the children that you love so much grow as individuals because they are understanding. It is the same process with my son. He is not as open to counseling as my daughter. But Hillary understands boys since she has raised her own. She has resonated with him. It is a bit more of a process for him, but she was particularly helpful with him on a situation at school and with his sports. She has empathy, speaks with love and we have reaped the rewards of her guidance. Thank you Hillary for an amazing job!

It was also the perfect push to get out of the house and try new things during a time when it's easy to feel stuck at home. Highly recommend for any new mom!

Fast forward to me now having a 7 month old and Happy Baby is my second home. Prenatal/postnatal classes are great. I did both prenatal boot camp and prenatal yoga but I was a little limited since I had to stop working out. Once I was cleared to work out, I was at some kind of class 4-6 times a week. Being able to bring your baby to class and get to meet other moms is fantastic! The majority of the fitness classes are taught by Lauren, who is an AMAZING teacher. She kicks your butt all while being the most encouraging, empowering teacher ever! Mama classes- I have done the mindful mama class with Khefri and it was such a great resource as a new mom! I also made new mama friends who I have kept in contact with even after our class ended.

TLDR: If you and…read moreyour spouse are lost in the sauce on this whole having a baby business, or if you're like me and just want to be prepared for anything, I highly recommend taking the Prepared Childbirth Series with Patricia. You'll be glad you did. Long version: Having a baby for the first time was definitely daunting for us. There were too many what-ifs and unknowns that made us nervous about the whole birthing process. I'm so glad we decided to take Happy Baby's Prepared Childbirth series with Patricia. It was an informative, fun, and confidence-boosting experience. I actually had to convince my husband to go with me: He walked into the first class saying he's there cause I told him to be there (gotta admire the honesty). After the last class, however, he left saying that he was glad I forced him into taking it. (yay me!) The moment my water broke, I was able to apply things that I learned in class that kept me calm and collected(we even went grocery shopping the next day). We were able to check into the hospital mentally and emotionally prepared, even though labor did not pan out as we had planned. We were well educated so we were able to ask about our options (most of which aren't discussed) and feel confident and comfortable with our decisions. By the time I started active labor, my husband was able to use the skills he learned from class to help me through my contractions, so much so that I was able to deliver without an epidural. The support and encouragement that he displayed throughout the whole process just made me fall even more in love with him (cheesy, I know). I can't thank Happy Baby enough for offering the series and everything we learned. I've been recommending this series to all my family and friends who are pregnant or planning to be since I gave birth. So my fellow Yelper, do not hesitate any longer. Take the class and feel empowered like we did.
