What Other Women Are Saying…
-
“Maria was excellent and I am pretty sure our exercise sessions and her meal suggestions helped me have a healthy pregnancy and safe, quick natural labor and delivery. Maria provided stretches for my very tight hips which helped me ultimately push my child out in 23 minutes and she provided labor breaths and movements I could do on the ball throughout my pregnancy and during labor. “
