TESTIMONIALS
Love letters from real parents
Rikki B.
"The workshop was so informative and made me feel so much less scared of all the information out there. Until now I felt like I didn't know where to start and now I feel so much less intimidated! The atmosphere was also really lovely and the other women were great, it was nice to share the room with women going through the same thing as me and also to get to know new people. The food spread was also great and the whole thing was run really professionally! The speaker topics were relevant and informative and well presented."
