When we hired Kaitlin as our birth coach, we were so grateful to have someone as knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient as she is to support us as we embarked on this exciting yet terrifying adventure. Kaitlin listened to our concerns, shared resources and information - including giving us the name of the best Obgyn when we unexpectedly needed to move cities only a couple weeks before the birth and needed a new doctor - and gave us helpful guidance before and after the birth of our daughter. We are so grateful for her help and highly recommend Kaitlin and her services!

Kaitlin was a wonderful birth doula for us when I gave birth to my son at home almost three and a…read morehalf months ago. She helped my husband and I feel comfortable and confident going into the birth and super supported. Kaitlin and I hit it off immediately; she is warm, very knowledgeable, passionate, and intuitive. During labor, she was a calming, steady presence for both me and my husband. She tirelessly helped me cope and ride the waves of contractions, assuring me every step of the way. When I needed it, she suggested helpful ideas to both mentally and physically shift things, and I can still hear her smart words in my mind when I think about my birth. She was there when I searched for her eyes, and she answered even my most impossible questions during intense labor. She had my back and my heart every step of the way. As our son was born, she whispered beautiful words into the space, which still gives me chills to think about. In the days following, she was a great support, especially in helping my husband and I navigate early postpartum and in breastfeeding. She helped us so much in getting off on the right foot with breastfeeding. We felt cared for, supported, and in excellent hands. I definitely recommend Kaitlin as a doula, educator, and women's health advocate. Her knowledge runs deep, and her contribution to this field is already and will be vast.

This program is absolutely amazing. My son has been going to LadyBug Music since he was about six…read moremonths old, and absolutely loves the music, loves the teachers, enjoys how interactive it is with all the parents, enjoy spending time with the other kids that are older and younger. He even recognizes the music now! The welcome song is one of his favorites, and when I sing it at home, he taps along to it. This program is for everybody, not just music lovers, not just moms, and not just the babies... You are not stuck with the traditional nursery rhymes that can get a little tedious after a while (let's be honest). The music is actually really good, and super catchy! Fair warning, you will 100% have the songs stuck in your head. Luckily it's good! When we moved to Ventura County from LA, I wasn't sure how the transition would go with my almost one year-old. But knowing that there was a LadyBug Music program out here, made me feel so much better! We loved it in the valley, and out here it has made a little community for us as well. I look forward to going every single week. And I know my son gets really excited when we are walking in. It's like he already knows that he will get to play with Musical instruments, see and play with other kids, and even get some dancing in! We love this program so much. I could not recommend it more!

Entertaining, fun and great for development! My child has had a wonderful experience at Lady Bug…read moreMusic classes. We have taken three sessions starting at the age of 6 months till she is now almost three. Over that time my child has learned to clap with the music, shake the shakers, drum with sticks and dance to a rhythm and have an overall great time with music. Emily is a great teacher who interacts with each child, plays guitar an and sings. We go through about eight different songs per class and each song has an interactive element. I would highly recommend this class for young children. My child's love for music has blossomed because of this class.

I cannot say enough great things about CFI. My 13 year old son, G, has been determined to take…read moreflying lessons. I called around and stopped immediately after speaking to Mikey, the office manager at CFI. He was incredibly knowledgable and helpful. He walked us through the process, answering the many questions that I had. We immediately drove over to meet him. He had a flight instructor, Alan Deroo, ready for us when we arrived. Alan showed G the different aircrafts and spent time with him finding out about his interests and goals. Yesterday, was my son's first lesson and to say he is hooked is an understatement. Alan was great with G. He was extremely thorough from start to finish. We have already booked his next lesson with Alan and it can't come soon enough. Thank you CFI for making my son's dream come true!

An extremely challenging 18 months but I couldn't have accomplished it without my instructor and the staff at CFI being advocates, pushing me along to achieve my goals in the safest, most cost effective and efficient way possible. If you're looking to achieve your aviation goals within a great airport training environment and at an exceptional school, without breaking the bank, please consider CFI. I've had nothing but a great experience with CFI during the entirety of my training; don't let the zero to hero schemes with the other guys fool you!

His expertise and calm demeanor set the perfect tone for what was to come. As we lifted off, my heart raced with excitement and a hint of nervousness. But soon, we were soaring about 500 feet above the ground, and my fear melted away. The sensation of being up in the sky, with the wind gently caressing my face, was nothing short of awe-inspiring. The true magic happened when we flew towards the ocean. The view was breathtaking, and the feeling of soaring and descending over the waves was truly exhilarating. I was able to feel the spray of the water and it was almost as if I could reach out & touch the water. I felt a rush of pure joy and freedom. Despite my fear of heights and aversion to roller coasters, I found myself completely at ease and thoroughly enjoying every second of the flight. It was an unexpected and delightful surprise that left me craving more. This ultralight flight was a 10 out of 10 experience, and I can't wait to do it again. Thank you, Mike, for an unforgettable adventure in the sky!

Do yourself a favor and don't go for the cheaper, shorter flights because unless you fly all the way to the ocean you won't get the full experience. For $150, you can't afford to miss the absolute best part of screaming across the ocean, pulling up and banking around for another run!! What a great day!!

I contacted Motherways for a Birth Story Medicine session after the homebirth of my first daughter…read more There was a small moment in my labor that I had spent 3 months postpartum obsessing over as a failure. In one hour, Virginia helped me transform it into a triumph. I now appreciate that I intuitively knew exactly what to do to birth my baby, including being open to help when the time called for it. Receiving love turned out to be an integral part of motherhood! I recently gave birth to our second daughter, and when we encountered a true obstetric emergency, my husband and I readily accepted the assistance we needed to birth her safely at home. Not only was I not traumatized by the situation, I feel completely empowered by her birth! Thank you, Virginia, for helping me to honor my inner love warrior!

It helped us to really connect in a spiritual way before the baby came. I had no idea what having a baby would be like but I used many of the pain coping techniques she offered and I managed to make it thru 24 hours of back labor with no epidural! She went on to be an amazing contributor to my successful breastfeeding experience. I was so distraught in the first week because I was having so many issues with latch, confidence, timing, etc. Like most first times Moms- I was having a very difficult time nursing. She came to my house and helped me to understand the logistics of breastfeeding. After her visit my confidence soared, my heart was at ease, and I never had a problem with breastfeeding again! Never had to supplement another bottle! In fact, almost 2 years later I am still successfully nursing. Also, she knew that I was new to the area so she offered to hook me up with a like-minded Mama-to-be who she thought I would hit it off with. Well, sure enough, she's been a great friend of mine ever since and we love having playdates with our little ones! I feel forever grateful to Virginia and am so lucky to know her. She truly is an amazing woman, and I HIGHLY recommend any of the services she has to offer!
