She supports her students and ensures everyone is getting a chance to practice their newfound skills. My mom very much enjoyed attending the course and would come home everyday to show/tell us what she's learned. Upon completion of the course, she was able to work at a health and wellness event & is now employed at a very well known spa in Lodi. I am so excited to share that due to Michelle's expertise and encouragement, my mom is able to add to her list of services for her personal business and her new journey. If you've gotten this far in my review, I highly suggest you sign up for this course!!

I hired MBB for my second delivery. The biggest draw for me was that they can bill Kaiser directly!…read moreWith my insurance plan, that meant it was free for me! So wonderful to get this valuable prenatal education, labor and delivery support, and postpartum breastfeeding coaching. During delivery, my doula was Sophia. She was calm, knowledgeable, able to take photos and videos, and helped me communicate my wishes to the nurse and midwife. I feel very grateful to have gotten Sophia's in-person support and all the prenatal education from the larger team on weekly virtual calls, the videos, and the workbook. Definitely worth the time investment!

I worked through the MBB course alongside my doulas during my most recent pregnancy. We met each…read moreweek to go over the chapters they assigned, and I am so grateful for the experience it provided. The education in this program made a huge impact on my birth experience, and the meeting helped my work through my previous birth traumas from my first borns birth. Because of the prep and education I received through MBB, I was able to have a redemptive, uncomplicated, successful unmedicated birth. The tools, mindset shifts, and practical knowledge I gained played a major role in my empowering experience and I'm beyond grateful for this course and the confidence it gave me. Shout out to Shiela, Sophia, Jamie, and Corrine for the great insight and support you gave me prior to labor. Brooke hung on the phone and advised us while I labored, and Kaitlyn met us at the hospital just in time for baby's delivery. I appreciated her knowledge and communication during the hospital chaos. 10/10 recommend EVERYONE works with a doula!! And, Modesto Birth & Beyond is a great choice if you're in their service areas.

Business owner and teacher were extremely unprofessional. Owner will not listen to any criticism or…read morecomplaints and instead yells at the class and tells us to leave if we aren't happy. Teacher was let go three weeks into the six week course because she was not lecturing and would leave the classroom multiple times a day. No formal apology was given by owner. The owner took over the class and spent half of his time talking about his political views, which made me and other students uncomfortable. I got the highest grade in the class (no thanks to the course but to hours of studying) and was asked to come back for FREE to help teach the class. The classroom environment was no place for learning and could not even be compared to any high school course I've taken. Please don't give your money to this business.

My journey with Gurnick Academy was not a straight path. I initially enrolled at the Sacramento…read morecampus, but I was distracted by life and did not take my education as seriously as I should have. I ended up failing during my prerequisite courses, leaving me with a $1,500 debt that I had to repay before I could try again. When I decided to return to nursing school, I carefully researched my options and chose the Modesto campus. Although both campuses were about 40 miles from where I lived, the commute to Modesto felt more manageable. More importantly, the Modesto campus felt like home. The support I received from the instructors and administrators went far beyond academics. They not only taught me how to become a nurse, but how to become a good nurse. Those lessons will stay with me throughout my career and for the rest of my life. My biggest piece of advice to future students is simple: read the books. Do not rely solely on Quizlet or shortcuts. Read the chapters, take handwritten notes, and put in the work. I am not the smartest person in the room, but I worked hard and gave this program my full effort. I want to express my sincere appreciation to Tu, Mr. Bennie, Ms. Laura, Amber, both Stephanies, and Stephanie at the front desk, who always answered my questions and every phone call. I am especially grateful to Stephanie Kelly, my first clinical instructor, as well as Ms. Maria, MJ, Ms. Nisha, and Tina, the nurse at my clinical site. Because of the guidance, encouragement, and support of these incredible individuals, I successfully became a licensed nurse. Today, I am proud to be working as a nurse in San Francisco. Thank you, Gurnick Academy Modesto, for helping me achieve a goal that once felt out of reach.

I recently completed my LVN program (VN-90) at Gurnick Academy, Modesto location, and I am very…read moregrateful for this experience. The program offers a detailed and well-structured syllabus with excellent clinical exposure. The variety of clinical facilities helped me effectively connect theory with real nursing practice. The instructors are experienced, dedicated, and bring different teaching styles, which made learning engaging and meaningful. I would like to personally appreciate Ms. Mandeep Kaur for her excellent Med-Surg lectures and deep understanding of physiology. Ms. Dawn Hayek delivered outstanding OB lectures; her teaching style, expressions, and clinical insight made her lectures more valuable than textbooks. Ms. Laura impressed me with her energy and experience-based Pharmacology teaching. Ms. Charmaine brought strong expertise in PEDS and NICU, adding depth to her lectures. Mr. Phil Waymire played a key role during MOD IV and Capstone by helping tie everything together. His SIMS knowledge and rationales truly empowered students. I also appreciate Ms. MJ, Ms. Jess, and Ms. Ashita for being kind, supportive, and knowledgeable. The clinical instructors were exceptional. Ms. Antonieta Largoza is thorough and disciplined, ensuring strong fundamentals. Ms. Linda White is passionate and inspiring, and Ms. Alicia Grigsby has a unique teaching style with excellent student camaraderie. Special thanks to Ms. Tu (Director) for her coordination with students, Mr. Benne (VN Coordinator) for always advocating for students and resolving issues promptly, and Mr. Jay and Ms. Brenda (Clinical Coordinators) for their constant support and responsiveness. I also appreciate Mr. Tony (Security) for maintaining a safe and caring environment. Kudos to Ms. Kari, Ms. Sharjani, Mr. Veneet, Ms. Lori, and Ms. Edail Odisho for their continued support. My classmates were caring and supportive throughout the program, and I truly witnessed the nurturing spirit of future nurses among them. As a constructive suggestion, adding tutors with strong clinical and pathology-based knowledge could further enhance student understanding and learning outcomes. Overall, Gurnick Academy feels like a family, not just an institution. I hope the Modesto location introduces an RN program in the future and offers scholarships for continuing students.

My wife and I found her through an INTENSE doula search that went on for MONTHS! let me tell you, BEST DECISION EVER! You get what you pay for ( even though I believe hey prices are very fair). My L&D was 34 hours long! She helped me with pain management and coached my wife on how to help me with different pressure points and positions. She also helped us advocate for ourselves when I felt like the hospital wasn't listening to my requests. We got the First 40 days package and she was ON IT! Did not let me lift a finger, Helped me with EVERYTHING.... YES EVERYTHING. Even soothed my muscles with postnatal massage. She cooks amazing chicken, makes the best cookies and does our babies laundry. Our daughter kiki LOVES her! We only trust my mom & Kara to care for our baby girl. She always checks on us if we haven't seen her in a bit (7months post delivery here). I am definitely hiring her again for baby#2 because this was Best investment ever. As a new momma, I highly recommend Kara as a Doula!

My postpartum experience would not have been the same without Kara's support. My husband and I met…read moreKara, virtually, before our son was born along with another doula who we had planned our birth experience with. We met Kara, in person, just a few days after our son arrived. She was such a great help offering this new Mom lots of advice when asked, giving us the opportunity to rest, and keeping us fed (she is a fantastic cook). We felt comfortable leaving her with our son knowing he was in capable hands. We hired Kara to be with us a few days a week for the first 5 months and now that our son is in daycare we miss her so much! I would hire Kara again (not just for postpartum but for birth as well) and would recommend her to anyone bringing a new baby home.
