November 2008   I have recommended you to a couple of my friends so I hope you hear from them. Thank you for preparing me for childbirth. We enjoyed your company and lectures on the subject. You are very good at what you do. Thank you again.  My husband is totally confident in us as a team and that makes me feel strong.   Ashley   *********************************************************************************************************************************** October 2008   Norman and I want to thank you for your wonderful course. Norman was able to help me through labor in a way that neither of us had thought possible. We felt much more prepared and calm because of what we learned. The small class size made for a wonderful experience for us as well.  From now on any expectant parents we meet are going to hear about you and your courses.     Thank you so much Lilly. Norman, Sarah and baby Ethan Pia   ********************************************************************************************************************************************************   September 2008   Thank you for all your help with the birth classes.  It especially benefited Mike.  He tells people all the time about the stuff he learned and praises both you and the instruction that you give.  Thanks for everything! Mike & Cyndi Maurycy      *************************************************************************************************************** May 2008   Bryan and I were so happy to that we had taken the birthing class from you as it was very helpful throughout the labor and delivery.  We had such a beautiful birth experience that I wanted to share it with you. We were so happy to know what our options were and had the knowledge that we learned in your class...it really made a difference.   Lindsay and Bryan Haley   ************************************************************************************************************************************************** December 2007   Here is a review from yelp.com:  Click here: Lilly Meehan - Childbirth Education - Ventura, CA If you are expecting your first child, you might think you know what you are getting into.  But until you take a childbirth class like Lilly Meehan's, you really have no idea.   Luckily, Lilly is there for you.  Classes are held in her home in East Ventura and you are immediately welcomed with open arms.   She's a very good, very knowledgeable teacher who is very passionate about her work and you can tell how much she cares for the couples that attend her classes. Her classes, for the most part, are eight weeks long and cover a broad range of topics including the physical changes, the emotional changes, the coaching for us partners, the breathing and relaxation for the ladies, breastfeeding and post-partum and so much more.   She arms you with a ton of information so that you can be as ready as you can be throughout your pregnancy and beyond.   The class sizes are small - there were six couples in our group - so it's a pretty personal experience.  The cost was reasonable at $125 for the eight weeks.  And each week one of the couples brings snacks for the entire class so we had cupcakes and cookies and brownies and pie and of course, milk.  Lots of milk.   You know, I read a lot of what she had to say in the books that we bought, but there were quite a few topics that she covered that either weren't in the books or I breezed by because I didn't understand the importance.  Going to a class and learning these things from a strong teacher and meeting other couples who are right there with you gives you something that you just can't get from the books.  It really brings it home - I feel so much more prepared than I did before taking the class.  Thanks Lilly!   Brandon S., Ventura   *********************************************************************************************************************************** October 2007   I really enjoyed your class.  After I had my son, I realized how much you really helped me through my pregnancy.  Once again, thank you so much for all the information you provided me in your class.  I am SOO glad I found you!!!    Whitney Davis   ************************************************************************************************************************************* July 2007   I was really blessed to have had a really short labor. I'm glad that Lilly taught us everything we needed to know to truly enjoy a natural, unmedicated labor. I really feel that I couldn't have done it without Lilly and my well trained coach, Adrian. Thank you for all your help Lilly!   Kristi and Adrian   ************************************************************************************************************************************** June 2007   Just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks. We really learned a lot from your class and it made the birth experience less surprising and not soooo scary!  We will recommend you to all our friends. Thanks again,   Sarah and Wesley Falls    *************************************************************************************************************************************** May 10, 2007   Peter and I were very pleased to have taken your class. It was super helpful for my husband, who was one of the younger ones in his family, to have the information you provided, as well as for me. We felt very prepared-as prepared as you can be the first time around! Thank you so much for all your insight. We will definitely recommend- and have recommended- your class to others.   Nora Bulcher   *********************************************************************************************************** May 9, 2007   Your class was so amazing, and education plays such a huge role in how a birth can go. We had a fantastic time!  I'll make sure to pass the word around to pregnant moms and dads on what a fantastic class you teach!   Jessica Lunetta   *********************************************************************************************************** 4/18/2005 I'm so grateful for your class because it helped Bryant and I a lot!  Bryant was a remarkable                   coach and he learned everything from you!   Thank you so much!   Davida                                                                                      *********************************************************************************************************** 4/09/2005   "We learned so much from Lilly.  After attending her classes we felt more prepared for the arrival  of our daughter.  We enjoyed going every week and meeting other couples going through the same experience.  Lilly's insightful stories and handouts were great tools when the time came for us to actually go to the hospital.  Thank you Lilly for your caring words of wisdom and helping us make the most of such a wonderful time in our lives."    Chad and Cindy Smith                                                                                 **********************************************************************************************************
3/18/2005 I  had the pleasure of attending Lilly's Birth Preparation course as my sisters partner. Lilly's classes helped prepare us for our upcoming birth and made us feel at ease in a stressful but exciting time in our lives. Each class taught us the stages of pregnancy and helped us understand what the mothers were going through.  We learned skills to keep the mothers in a relaxing state of mind during labor and also step by step what we'd be experiencing. I would and have recommend this class to everyone.  Her methods of teaching involve a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. She's a great instructor with years of knowledge and experience. I'm sure you'll enjoy each class and walk out feeling prepared to welcome your precious angel into this world.                                                                                        Andrea Ramos                                                                                      *********************************************************************************************************************** 3/17/2005 We thank you for all your support and encouragement during our pregnancy. As first time new parents, your classes provided us with the confidence to face the big day. The classes prepared us emotionally and physically and created a good team between my husband and I. The techniques allowed us to enjoy the pregnancy equally and have faith in each other. We look forward to attending your classes again in a few years with our second pregnancy.  Thank You, Todd, Jeanine and Mackenzie   ********************************************************************************************************************** 3/17/2005 Lilly's class was just what we needed to help us prepare for our son's arrival.  We were so nervous about everything and the Birthing Class dispelled many of the fears we had. She's professional and personable! The techniques for labor were very valuable to us and really made the difference.  We also took her Baby Care Basics class which helped us to have the confidence needed to do the everyday tasks in caring for our child.  From breastfeeding & bathing, to changing a diaper.... it's all there.  Also, we loved how intimate the classes were... we were able to ask many questions and were happy to have others there to share the experience with.  These classes are a must for a first time mommy & daddy; and I know our son is happier for it because we're not stressed out.   Kat & Chris Wyneken                                                                                 ********************************************************************************************************************** 9/12/2004 Lilly's class was wonderful, I can't tell you how many times I have refered to her class               when talking with others about our birth experience. Without her class, my husband and I would have been much more scared and unprepared for what was about to happen, Lilly has a way wih stories and is a great communicator.   Thanks Lilly!                                                                                                                                     Elizabeth Brown                                                                                  ********************************************************************************************************************** 9/1/2004  Lilly's class was so great I had to do it again with my second child. I felt so prepared for a totally new and scary experience. The class is highly informative, to give you the best chance at the best, natural birth you can have. Relaxation is the key! Thanks Lilly!   Sofia Wiggins                                                                                   ********************************************************************************************************************* 7/13/2004    Wow.   Listen to this woman! she knows what she is talking about. Particularly listen when she talks about being rested BEFORE you go into labor. It is truly exhausting! The classes were great, and Lilly really cares about what you have to say and your concerns. Though she is self admitedly an advocate for unmedicated births, we did not feel shunned or made to feel shame for wanting an epidural. Very supportive.  Thanks!! Matthew Larrivee                                                                                   ******************************************************************************************************************** 6/17/2004  My husband and I loved Lilly's class. We looked forward to going every week. It was informative, interesting and fun! I don't know what we would have done without Lilly, she taught us to relax, to breathe and to have fun during labor. Thanks Lilly!   Heather Acerro                                                                                                                                               ******************************************************************************************************************** 4/12/2004  My husband and I loved Lilly's class! She's a great teacher and communicator. She loves her work and it shows. I recommend her to all of my friends. I went into labor the same night that we had practiced the relaxation techniques. Perfect timing!!   Michelle Dore'                                                                                                                                                ******************************************************************************************************************* 2/11/2004  I have taken it TWICE! I took Lilly's class in 1991 for my 1st pregnancy and again for the birth of my twins 11 years later!!!  She is great. I recommend her to all my friends. :-)   Danielle Woodburn                                                                                                                                              ****************************************************************************************************************** 12/18/2003  My husband and I really enjoyed attending Lilly's classes. We learned so much and had fun at the same time!

Thank goodness we took the class!   Jeannine                                                                                                                                                              ***************************************************************************************************************** 12/13/2003  "Experience" is Lilly's middle name! This lady knows what she's talking about and is a fabulous communicator! We took her class way back when, and although this was for our third child, we still learned a bunch! I HIGHLY recommend her! Professional, funny, informative, classy! Loved it! Jill Cox       *****************************************************************************************************************
