This is my go-to for healthcare CPR/FirstAid certification. Deanna is super helpful and awesome. She responds quickly to emails and is flexible in her class times and days. I've taken two classes with Staying Alive and I'm always excited about attending her class. As for the class itself, it isn't a boring class where you sit and watch videos for hours. We share our personal experiences as well as Deanna. It is a very relaxing atmosphere and very open for discussion. I feel well educated with all the materials that are provided. The class is very hands-on and I think that helps you remember things a lot better. Deanna, thank you for all you do!! You're an awesome human and I will always go to you for my future recertifications!! read more

A few weeks ago I attended CPR training by Deanna Young. She did a fantastic job with 25+ boy scouts and a few parents and troop leaders. Deanna kept us engaged while teaching us valuable life lessons so that we could be certified in CPR. You can imagine some of the questions some of the boys had and she kept us focused on what was important while considering different real life scenarios we may be faced with if we ever have to give someone CPR. Great job Deanna and I would highly recommend her if you need to be trained on CPR. read more

I have a troop of Girl Scouts and they have been desperately wanting to get their babysitting certification. We were so lucky to have found Staying Alive, LLC. Deanna was prompt and professional. She took proper precautions. She engaged with the girls through lively discussion and great demonstrations. They participated in safe hands-on activities. We could not be happier. Each girl gushed over the amount of information they learned (parents were happy, too). We definitely plan on doing the CPR/ First Aid Class, too!!! read more

Love Staying Alive and Deanna Young. Was able to take on line classes due to the pandemic and meet up for the skills training and testing. Masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and I felt very comfortable in a large room! Deanna is very knowledgeable and thorough! She set up different scenarios and I felt good about my skills upon leaving. I had taken classes at another place locally the last 2 times and wow what a difference this was! I definitely will take CPR/lst Aid here again! read more

Deanna with Staying Alive helps our entire dental office team re-certify in CPR and Basic Life Support. We call her each time we renew because her class is logical, informative, and practical. She explains real life situations that help that help us to remember why we need to do what we do. She is very professional and makes sure everyone in class is comfortable and understands the material. I will recommend her class to anyone needing to know CPR and Basic Life Support. read more

I have taken many CPR and FA classes over the years, and I must say Deanna's personality and style of presentation put her class at the top of my list. She made the course material interesting and easy to remember. Her knowledge base combined with the common sense of real life experience put a very serious subject into proper perspective for the class. For anyone who wants/needs to learn CPR and FA, I would highly recommend Deanna as an instructor. read more

This was the best CPR and AED class I've ever taken. The instructor was professional, informative, but kept the class totally engaged, interested and the information was fresh and up-to date. I left feeling confident in my skills to assist in an emergency, and not as if all the info left my brain when class ended, as has happened in previous training classes. Thanks, Deanna for making this a great experience! read more

I have taken many CPR/First Aid courses over the years, and I found the program offered by Staying Alive/Deanna to be the most informative and thorough.

Deanna was my instructor for a blended First Aid/ CPR/ AED course. You complete an portion of the class online, then there is an in person skills test.

The class was informative for me and my daughters, who are just starting to babysit. I feel safe knowing now that they are well prepared to take on any situation that may come their way. I would recommend this course for any age. I took a CPR course 15 years ago but needed a refresher course. Thank you, Staying Alive, we now feel secure. read more

My daughter took the CPR/ Babysitting class. She was nervous as many kids are want to be when they don't know many people.

Deanna taught me exactly what to do if my Husky was in a medical emergency. So glad I now have confidence that no matter what happens I know what to do.
