A few things to note:

As a grieving mother, I felt an immediate sense of shared community, mutual respect, and compassionate receptivity during Amy’s workshop. As an educator, I greatly appreciated Amy’s organization, solid communication skills, and warm presence. And as someone dedicated to grief work, I found in Amy and my fellow attendees strong and thoughtful allies. I am so glad to have had the opportunity to participate in this training, and I highly recommend it. ~Joanne Zerdy, PhD, Inviting Abundance, North Carolina
I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have taken Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss. This is a difficult subject to engage, perhaps especially in an online format, but the level of warmth, compassion, community facilitation, and personal attention that Amy brought to this training was absolutely phenomenal. ~ Claire Wilson, birth doula, Oregon
Amy is a fabulous teacher and has an eloquent way of speaking about the unthinkable losses that occur all around us in our world. I would recommend this class to anyone, and it is a must for any health care provider working with women, families and in pregnancy settings. ~ Maddie Ackerman, birth doula and student RN, Washington
