I booked a Private Session and rented a Birth Box during my 5th pregnancy. Maggie was warm and knowledgeable, teaching us new techniques that addressed our specific issues. We learned how to use the Rebozo and TENS effectively, both of which were a great help during my labour. I came away from our session feeling more confident, and went on to have an incredible, medication-free home birth. I would absolutely recommend these childbirth classes, to new mothers, or to experienced mothers like myself!
“Dancing For Birth™ classes are such a fun way to gain education and empowerment along with fitness during pregnancy and postpartum.
We learned so much from the Condensed Class: breastfeeding tips and tricks, feeding expectations, what to experience in labour. I loved the natural pain management techniques as well as the hand’s on demos for breastfeeding, bathing, and diapering. This was a great class, a lot of information in 4 hours but very valuable information. Also great presentation skills – offering both the personal and medical aspects.
It was really great to have all the suggestions broken down by age for Baby Led Weaning. I loved all the pictures, so cute and reassuring. I have already recommended your business to others!
I learned a lot actually. The most important thing the course did was really teach me what my wife will be going through during childbirth and afterwards so I can be prepared and better relate. The instructors were both very personable and gave a good mix of the clinical side of things along with the human side of things by providing personal experience. I also really like the group discussions rather than just giving answers.
I loved learning about natural pain management. The hands on portion (practicing with the mat, ball, kit, rebozo etc) was especially helpful and I feel much more confident and prepared now. Great class! Great topics covered. Thank you!
I loved the teaching styles of the teachers and general atmosphere of the class. It was fun, education, and lost of time for questions and discussion. I really enjoyed your class. It’s great to see you guys so excited about what you’re teaching!
I learned so many wonderful things throughout the course. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the natural pain management techniques and all of the great breastfeeding information. Lots of fruitful discussion. I loved practicing the pain management techniques so that we could trial what might work best for us. Bronwyn provided us with a wealth of knowledge, great discussion, life experiences. I liked how you integrated knowledge, emotional experience, physical experiences and great resources.
Baby-led weaning was definitely the way we wanted to introduce food to our son, but it’s hard to know where to start and it’s easy to start feeling doubtful when our little one kept coughing and gagging on everything we tried to feed him. We are so thankful to have met Maggie and to learn some excellent tips and tricks on how to more easily introduce food. Things got a lot better after and now our son loves mealtime. In addition, Maggie was a wonderful resource on other topics and she took the time to chat with us when we weren’t sure where to go with some other baby questions and we needed some guidance and a trusted voice to talk to. Thank you!

I loved this class (Traditional Prenatal). It was very informative and made me feel more confident about going into labour and becoming a parent.
I loved doing this class (Natural Pain Management Class) with my husband. It helped him find comfort in the process and made us feel like a team. I also loved the openness of the discussion. There was a very welcoming environment, it was a great class! Maggie is very knowledgeable.
The quality of this class (Natural Pain Management) has really prepared us for a normal birth. The variety was amazing and helped both myself and my partner prepare for the big day. Fantastic job!
Great hands on experience with personable and seasoned instructors.
Amazing and passionate ladies who are inspiring and full of knowledge. Every class I have taken at Balancing From Birth to Baby has taught me something new in a fun and memorable way. Highly recommended!
Excellent classes for all knowledge levels. Both Maggie & Bronwyn are amazing teachers with lots of wisdom and skills to offer. They excel in preparing us for the emotional side of childbirth, including how to re-frame fear/anxiety. Balancing for Birth to Baby is really the shining star in birth education.
I learned so much (from Baby Led Weaning) and am feeling very confident about feeding my little girl. I loved Maggie’s knowledge, positive demeanor and all that she had to share, especially her own personal experience.
Balancing from Birth to Baby’s Traditional Prenatal class offers an open, non-judgmental environment for expecting parents to learn and discuss topics that we are all thinking about. In the age of information overload, trying to figure out where to begin can be daunting. Bronwyn and Maggie have put together a program that leaves out the confusion and provides you with straightforward, honest information. The program offers a space to discuss not only the physical changes of becoming a mother and parent, but more importantly, leaves room to open up about the emotional and psychological aspects new parents may go through or are already grappling with. This is a great program that has unwrapped the parenthood conversation between my partner and I. Thank you for the space and knowledge you are sharing with our community!
I feel 1000 times more confident in my own abilities walking out of this classroom. I learned way more than I could have imagined. The stages of labour section was eye opening and made me more confident. I liked the childbirth video, lists we wrote [of concerns] and talking about those in discussion, and the use of props were great visual aids.
This class was very helpful in prepping for baby. I got to ask a lot of questions with direct and honest answers. I especially like learning about the actual, local breastfeeding help and resources in the region. I am grateful for this experience.
The honest, open dialogue felt very easy going. I learned that there are many ways to get to the end result of a happy healthy baby and many ways to cope with the pain of labour and delivery. I would absolutely recommend your business to others.
