Participant, Olivia Davis, Chapel Hill, NC writes:

"I loved sharing with you (facilitator) and other mothers about our stories, fears, and hopes. It really helps you feel normal. The most helpful thing was learning that change involves a letting go, and how that is normal and the best ways to work with that instead of avoid it. This workshop was really what I was looking for, there is nothing else I would add to it! About the facilitator, she’s wonderful. She really creates a comfortable environment where you feel safe to share. For others considering this workshop, know this is a very important component of the transition you are going through. You deserve to give it attention – you will be a different person after your baby is here – take time to honor that now."

Participant, Amber Deziel, Wake Forest NC writes:

"I most enjoyed being able to talk about and understand the emotions of pregnancy and becoming a mother. The most helpful thing was being able to understand loss and grief I may feel through my journey. The way the workshop was held was a warm and inviting environment that allowed discussion to flow. I think everyone should know that it helps you find a new part of yourself and prepare you for motherhood."
