My husband and I found Melissa through Doulamatch and were instantly drawn to her because of her…read morequalifications and experience. Not only is she a Doula, but she is also a natural childbirth instructor! We decided to take her 10 week Boot Camp on natural childbirth and are so glad we did! The course covers everything from nutrition, baby care, labor positions, pregnancy exercises, relaxation techniques, birthing options, and partner support. My husband and I learned so much and felt very confident and prepared for "Labor Day." Hiring Melissa to be our Doula was such a smart decision. On the morning that my daughter was born, Melissa came over to our house and helped me get in different positions to move and progress labor. She was there the entire time at the hospital, and encouraged me the whole way through. Melissa helped to make our birth experience everything we wanted it to be. Because of Melissa, we were able to have the natural birth that we had been dreaming of. I am so thankful!

I really wanted to have a normal delivery with no epidural. I was able to follow through with my…read morebirth plan and a lot of it was due to Melissa passing on her knowledge and experience of the birthing process to prepare me for delivery. My husband and I took her classes and followed her instructions in regards to exercise,diet, practicing visual and relaxation techniques. End result was I went to the hospital at midnight. I was at 10 cm at 3:00 A.M. and I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl at 3:22 A.M. Melissa gave me the confidence to stand up for what I wanted to do and be able to push in a squatting position which helped speed up the delivery. Thank you Melissa for all your help!!!

The ladies at Queen City Birth Collective are my angels. The birth of my second baby happened smack…read moredab in the middle of my husband's first combat deployment. During the prenatal visits Deb and Piper eased my fears about delivery and post partum recovery without my husband. Piper came to my home while I was in labor, earlier than probably needed because I couldn't get a hold of my husband and just wasn't coping emotionally . Throughout my short and intense labor I was coached, comforted, and provided with all sorts of pain/discomfort relieving tricks (those hip squeezes are magic). At the hospital they ensured my husband was called in, kept up to date, and also recorded a video of the birth when he lost his connection at the last minute. These ladies truly made my birth an amazing experience which I never expected to feel without my husband. Thank you QCBC!!

Obviously Rodriguez never heard the saying "Better to remain silent and let people think you're a…read morefool than open your mouth and prove them correct". Telling me I don't get his 'course' for free and insisting I had not paid him and then minutes later telling me he found my payment must have been very hard for him to choke out. Calling it a technical error in response to my complaint to the state was laughable. Telling me my bank made a mistake was ludicrous and he started back peddling when I mentioned receipts. Banks are notoriously efficient in financial matters aren't they Roddy? Anyway, I'm done with the fool, I got my money back, he still has his little course and the world is much the same as it was before I ever heard of that little turd.

The online course was flawless. My main issue was signing up with the Tennessee Core website. The…read moreinstructions that were provided did not match what I was seeing. I already have an account on that website. The instructions only showed if you were a first time user. I have sent emails asking what are the streps and I did mention that the instructions given did not go with what I was seeing. I sent another email asking the person a question to see if I was in the right spot and what to fill in. I never got a response back. They say there are zero refunds. I can easily put a dispute on my credit card and get my charge back. I should do this since my course and test is worthless without that Tennessee website. I will not recommend this since they are unwilling to assist.
