"Hi Carrie . Thank you so much for going to all the effort to do your class online. Sure was a different way however we are so grateful to have been able to still participate. Saturday was the first time using zoom and I must say that is was so much easier than I was expecting. A simple click on the link you had sent through and there we all were. We had no issues with connection or sound. It was great you could mute everyone so there was no interruption with background noises and when we needed to ask questions we could. You have done a great job with it all. It was quite warming to learn during your class that the fathers have just as an important and hands on role as the mums do, that its more about team work than anything. A huge thank you again, we have taken a lot away from your class and will highly recommend you to others. "
"Hi Carrie. The workshop went really well. I know it must have been completely different for you to deliver online rather than face-to-face workshops. Your explanations were good and gave us enough time to focus on what we needed to take-away. The sound and video quality were good as well. Couldn't fault it, I love Zoom. My partner really enjoyed having a hands-on learning experience, with some really helpful tools to make him feel apart of the process. We haven't had a birthing class like that, SCUH class is all about medical interventions and drug options. Last time we both had no idea what to do and he felt hopeless while I was in pain. I think he feels more in control, confident and able to help. The biggest takeaways for us would be the visual diagrams of the birthing positions using gravity, the transitioning from home to hospital and linking that to the stress response, birthing of the placenta (I had no idea), and of course the practical hands-on skills were amazing! (i just have to remember them, practice them, and then use them). Thank you so much!"
