"Cindy Nykorak's Birthin' Again class was AMAZING!  So much more than we experienced with our last baby.  We are much more connected and ready to welcome our baby now...Thank you Cindy!"  (a mom)

"I wasn't sure what to expect from a Birthin' Again class.... but Cindy's class was fun and interesting, and it made me see how my wife is feeling... and now I feel more ready to be a dad again and I can't wait to meet our new baby!"  (a dad)

"This class was so much deeper and meaningful than we could have imagined.  It has helped us prepare in many ways to beome parents and I am so happy that we decided on a Birthing From Within class with Cindy Nykorak.  Everyone should take this class!"  (a mom)

"My friend told me and my wife about Cindy's classes, and I'm glad we signed up for them... they were very helpful in making us feel ready for whatever comes our way."  (a dad)

"I learned so much about myself as a woman and soon-to-be-mother in Cindy's birthing classes, and my husband feels more prepared too."  (a mom)

"Everyone should take a Birthing From Within class with Cindy Nykorak... and I'm not usually into these things.  The Dads Class was a great chance to spend time with other dads and talk about OUR questions and concerns.  I couldn't talk to my wife about that stuff."  (a dad)

"To Cindy, Doula Extrordinaire:What can we say but thank you?  How were we to know that on the day we had our prenatal class we'd be meeting such a special person?  We were honoured to have you be a part of our pregnancy and birth experience.  It was truly an amazing journey full of ups and downs.  We wanted to thank you so much for all your support... before.... during... and after... but especially during my labour and birth.  We both feel that I could not have done it without your care and support.  As a doula, you made us both feel important... you really have a knack for anticipating my needs and being completely in synch with both of us.  We made a wonderful birth team.  Our birth was so incredible - an accomplishment I can truly be proud of.  Thank you for helping us to birth "our" way!  Much love and thanks" ~ Lee-Ann, Dirk & Pyper

"I would like to thank you for all that you have done for us.  There have been many hard times throughout these last nine months, but I was never afraid to go into the delivery room ever since you've come along.  I want you to know that I don't want this card to be goodbye.  Now that the baby is here, it's only begun.  My mom and I want you to know that you have become someone very special to us.  And we want to keep a close friendship with you..... Thank you again!"  C, D & J

"Thank you for all the time and support you gave me through the last of my pregnancy.  It really helped to mentally prepare myself for the labour and delivery, and then after that, too.  Especially, I'd like to thank you for your 'presence' at my labour and delivery.... your encouragement and support were amazing and so important.  Also, thank you for your guidance and support in helping me with decision making during my pregnancy, labour and delivery... you were there for me in so many ways.... helping to ease my fears and making a challenging experience a lot more pleasant and manageable for us all."  B, B & I
