Marianne has a way of including everyone and being open to our individual experiences. I knew from the first couple of hours that this would be a very engaging + professional training. I have attended many a conference and training in my professional life. Marianne has some really incredible interpersonal + facilitative skills which make her an excellent group leader. Thanks!

I enjoyed the role playing – very effective learning tool for me.

It was great! I am a nurse and it was wonderful to see birth in a different perspective!

It was a great experience! She was very smart, and very helpful. I was surprised at how much I learned, being a student midwife already, it was great! Thanks ☺!

I greatly appreciated my experience with Marianne. She was a wonderful teacher and imparted a grand scope of information, both clinical and personal stories. It was fun!

I really enjoy the class. I’m a caregiver at heart & also in nursing school, so I feel this class has helped me be able to learn more ways of caring in a more intimate way. Thank you
