If my sister keeps her kiddos here that's up to her. But this aunt won't be dropping anyone off anymore. Too many red flags. The classrooms are filthy, staff are rude, and management seems to just sit in their office all day. I've heard teachers radioing for help (back-up in the classroom) only to walk by the office 10 minutes later and see no rush or no movement to help the teachers. No wonder staff turnover is so high! Most of the staff who work at this facility have little to no educational accreditation. YIKES.

Not the best. Thank took much first mommy and me classes with my baby and it was kind of a mess!…read moreThe pool had to private lessons going at the same time as our class and we kept bumping into each other and at one point I tripped over a bench they set up to "separate" the lessons. I almost went under the water with my baby . Also a baby in the class threw up in the pool and not much was done so we left the class early because I didn't feel like it was sanitary that they had us stay in the pool. Also they give the tiny babies little toys and they were chewing on the toys and then they wanted us to have the babies swap toys which I didn't think was sanitary. We didn't feel like there was much instruction or help at all I never really even spoke to the instructor the two classes we did take because she was so busy . It's also in the backyard of Someones house. No signs to point you where to go .We decided to just not attended the last two classes and just take a loss as far as the money we spent.

Amazing! I found out about this swim school by word of mouth through the "next door" app…read more Marissa is a patient instructor and teaches proper water safety and skills. My daughter had dozens of lessons in Seattle and it was all play and not many skills came out of it. My son did 2 sessions which consists of lessons 5 days a week for half an hour. After 4 weeks he is confident in the water. Skills he's learned are nose bubbles, water bobbing, getting out of the water without steps, and floating. My daughter did one session with Hannah and she has gained so much confidence! She can swim on her own! It's been great to see her progress. She now understands how to breath underwater, dive, and can swim a lap in the deep end! Lessons are held outside at a private residence. The pool is kept clean. There is no overpowering chlorine smell which is nice. There is plenty of seating for parents. There is a restroom accessible for kids/parents that is connected to the house but accessible from outside. They offer mommy and me, preschool, core, and swim team classes. The description of each class is listed on their website and is accurate. Group, semi private, and private lessons.They do have multiple classes at the same time but at no time did I feel like another class was distracting from what my kids were learning. Class sizes are kept small. My son did group and semi private and they were equally great. The prices are very reasonable. Its truly priceless to see your child learning water safety and how to properly swim. I highly recommend!

Their level of professionalism, personalized care, and passion for their jobs really stands out. I've entered birth and postpartum feeling well informed, supported, and 'held' (?) in way that allowed me to trust myself and lean on them when desired. Even for those not considering a home birth, I'd still recommend H&H for pregnancy care, advocacy during birth, and postpartum care. You won't regret it!

Sarah was an absolute asset to my birth experience. This pregnancy was as a surrogate, which…read morerequired me to give birth in a hospital, so I knew I needed a coach and an advocate. My first and only other birth of my daughter, was attended by 2 midwives at home and was the best day of my life. So, I hired Sarah and Charli for their doula services and was comfortable with either attending, just happy I knew them and they understood me and my birth plan. Sarah showed up at our house right when the contractions kicked in. She guided me through them and made the call when it was time to walk to Providence Hospital. Along with my husband riding our cargo bucket bike and 9-year old daughter walking with me, we walked the 1/2 mile to the hospital, stopping every minute or two for me to lean against her and have a contraction. She provided me with shelter and guidance. When we got to the hospital, I was taken up to the birth center and learned I was 5 cm dilated and felt a sense of accomplishment. The final 5 occurred over 3 hours between the tub and the yoga ball in the bathroom. Sarah was my crutch during the hardest ones. My family doctor, who knew my birth plan well, showed up and they, along with the nurses, worked together to let me know it was time to get on the bed and push. I squatted in reverse on the bed, holding tight to the railings. With every push, I could feel baby Penelope make her way through the birth canal, with intense pressure. I asked Sarah to guide me through the ring of fire so I wouldn't tear. We took it slow, allowing the head to crown, stop, head halfway out and back in, stop, head out, stop, shoulder out, stop, arm out, stop and then her body fell gracefully to the bed between my legs. I scooped her up, the nurses helped me untangle from the cord so I could turn around and sit with her. They toweled Penelope off, I scooted over and her new mama came over crying and sat next to me and I got to hand over the most beautiful thing in the world to the person who had wanted her most. I looked up at the room and everyone was smiling and taking in the moment, including Sarah. This was the most magical day of my life. I can't recommend her and Charli enough. Having a doula or midwife is a serious luxury in giving birth and I also attribute my fast recovery (casually walking and biking within a week) to them. I needed no epidural, emergency treatments or stitches.

I have known Erin for several years and she was the person who opened the portal for me to connect…read morewith my own spirituality in a much deeper way. Not because she ever told me to, but because she just opened the portal for me in a silent and neutral way, and when I was ready I placed a hand inside, and then eventually an arm, and gradually my whole body and self, when I was ready. I was called to have a session with Erin this month to address something that is quite sensitive in nature. Something I have worked with other coaches and a therapist on and tried many other approaches. As I shared with her, it is the only thing in life that I fear I cannot overcome. There was another issue that I considered bringing up as it may be related, but it is very deeply buried in shame and pain and I decided prior to the session not to bring it up. During our session, without me saying anything, Erin brought up the exact topic that I was hiding, almost in identical words. She brought it up in a neutral way that felt effortless. She had just had a conversation with a friend of hers about the very topic that I had decided to keep buried. I know that Spirit was working through her again to open the door for me to step into healing. So I shared my own deeply buried feelings with her. The way Erin addresses emotions, even the most difficult ones, from a place of neutrality and observation is absolutely revolutionary for anyone who is dealing with shame or addiction. I believe her own journey is exactly what has gifted her with this skill. Thank you Erin, for everything you have gone through in your own life in order to be able to offer this level of healing to the world. I see it as a true sacrifice that your soul made in order to help others. Your gifts are truly Divine and magical.

She is a very talented Tarot reader and can recommend and work with an individual on tailored personalized packages, focused on own's own goals and desires. The Akashic Records workshop was very insightful and moving. I am looking forward to the full weekend program which includes certification to practice on others. Erin is truly a conduit to the fast track path to ones' own self-understanding, advocacy and healing. This is alternative holistic treatment I have been looking for and met with her in a very serendipitous way-as it should be! She fosters the healer within us all, so we can be our own self advocates and healers, graciously removing and teaching how to remove blocks to growth, acceptance and ultimately, the happiness and potential which is contained within us all. Erin, in a very grounded and informative and fun way, leads the individual to one's internal knowing and power. She is like a key that unlocks your own potential to your truest, highest Self.
