Participant Reviews"I've already started using some of the blends you recommend in your course in my practice and have seen amazing results. I think I've been most impressed with the blend to help with placental separation... I've used it twice on placentas that did not want to come just before I was going to call my back-up doctor and both times within 30 seconds out came the placenta. I love it, my laboring moms love it, just really happy I found your course." -Devon Welling, Advanced Practice Midwife
"Today I had a pregnant patient come in struggling with getting the birthing process going since tomorrow she will be at 42 wks! Missed my call with Stephanie to do visceral manipulation and essential oil support to get the labor moving along. So I texted Stephanie and she had suggested several things and I tried visceral manipulation with lavender and clary calm stick and got the baby to drop after 20 minutes. Still progressing but soon-to-be mama is on her way tonight." -Jill Ghormley, Naturopathic Physician |
