This CPR training class left me feeling prepared to try to help with CPR and choking if the need…read moreever arises. I would recommend this course! I participated in a small group private CPR training session at my friend's home for 9 people. We focused on infant, child and adult CPR and choking. William is a wonderful instructor. He made the class very easy to follow and walked us through the process of what to do in an emergency situation, including seeking consent, assessing the person in distress, when to call 911, and how to perform CPR and help with choking. We practiced the process a few times with CPR manikins (different ones for infants and children/adults). William observed each of us and helped with tips and corrections as needed. We talked through various scenarios, and he gave us opportunities to ask questions. The manikins were very clean, and he also provided one-time-use gloves and sheets to cover the manikin's faces. Some tough topics are bound to come up in a CPR class - it's not easy to talk about scenarios of people in distress. William's experience in discussing these topics definitely showed. He is matter-of-fact but gentle in describing situations. The course was $40 per person. You can get a certificate as an add-on, which you can chat through with William if you are interested.

Laura is STELLAR!!! Since transitioning my career to healthcare, I've had to take many BLS, First…read moreAid, and CPR classes, and I will say with absolute certainty that this is the best class I've ever taken. Laura doesn't just tell you what you're supposed to do or what the book says, she tells you WHY, which helps embed it into your brain. These types of classes are not something you want to "memorize" - you want to be knowledgeable in your approach and understand why you're doing what you're doing when you're trying to save someone's life!!! I will not go anywhere else EVER again!! Another plus - if you need to take a class last minute, she will do her best to accommodate you in the class you want. She will also provide you with your card the same day if you pay for the class the day before. I can't say it enough.... The CPR Girl rocks!!! Thanks again, Laura!!

If you are having a baby, you need Babygroup! Donna has been an indispensable resource on my…read morejourney as a new mother, and the friends I have met through Babygroup still talk on a daily basis. Donna provides advice and comfort in an incredibly supportive and nonjudgmental way, and offers wonderful insight no matter your child's age. This is one of the best gifts you can give yourself as a new mother. I fully credit Donna's classes and in-person playgroups as one of the major reasons both my daughter and I are thriving.

In becoming a mother, I tried to prepare myself by reading every book on babies and parenting that…read moreI could. However, I soon found that with several topics (such as breastfeeding and sleep), there were so many different strategies that I became more conflicted/confused the more I read. Joining Donna's group at 3 months was such a godsend. In her group, I was able to have a detailed conversation about any issue I was having. I then always received a succinct strategy that was tailored to my child. And the advice just works! Most recently she outlined the steps for weaning my now 2 year old off of his pacifier, and it went as smoothly as she had promised. Donna anticipates upcoming milestones and struggles. And she will send emails with detailed information and instructional videos to explain what issues may be on the horizon and how to address them. It is also amazing to connect with the other mothers in the group. I started with a group when all of our children were around 3 months old, and now, 2 years later, our group till texts each other on our Whatsapp chat every day. It has been so therapeutic to have a safe space where I can air my struggles without judgement and where I can receive the support and validation of women facing the same obstacles. I am a huge fan of the current zoom format because I can join wherever I am regardless of what I am doing. Between the LA traffic and work, I would not have been able to join as reliably if not for this virtual platform. Donna has given me confidence as a parent. She has made me a better parent than I could have been struggling on my own. I really cannot say enough about the group. I highly recommend it for any new mother!
