Tsippy’s balance between holistic and realistic goals and expectations has blown me away together with her deep understanding of a birthing mother’s nature and needs.If you are passionate about teaching women for birth, this is for you!"

Mindy, Westcliff UK

"I’m truly grateful to the hashgacha pratis that led me to know you and to take your training,I’m learning so much. The best of all is the way you present it, enjoy the live zoom sessions immensely. I appreciate all your experience in so many fields and how I feel guided when we present the questions. I haven’t seen anything like this here in Mexico.

Vicky, Mexico

I’m very thankful to you as I got a chance to learn a lot. We had a quick delivery, half of which I spent at home after having learnt the benefits with you, and once in hospital it took only an additional 4 hours.

My husband and I listened to your recording and it was a huge help as my husband was very supportive and knew what to do, he found your teaching very helpful’

Esther - Barbados

I have seriously come out of those sessions feeling so much more mentally prepared and educated about labour etc. For someone like myself, I was a bit hesitant before starting your classes as the whole concept of labour was associated with so much “fear” and “pain” but now I’m entering the process so much calmer. In addition, you really helped my husband feel so much more knowledgeable and all involved regrading the process

Expectant Mother

Attending a session with my wife gave me the confidence to fully support her. I knew my role and felt able to be an integral part of the birth.

Thank you Tsippy for giving me this invaluable gift

Grateful Dad-To-Be

BH I had an incredible water birth with both my husband and mum supporting me.
Your course and all support was incredible!!
I felt so ready and empowered!
Would definitely highly recommend it!!

Online course - Sheva B

Going to birthing classes for my 7th baby might seem odd, it was hard to justify it even to myself. I needed to get myself back into the natural birth mode after having had an emergency c-section previously. I wasn't expecting to learn much new info, rather just to have a basic refresher.
I was blown away by how you helped me understand my body and my baby's journey in a way that I had never understood before, it gave me a whole new perspective on birth and boosted my confidence in my ability to birth naturally!
Thank you Tsippy

Expectant Mother of baby no 7

'I'm part way through the online course and I am finding it amazing so far! Your content and delivery are both fantastic!
Thank you for making this available'

Online course - Expectant Mother, NY

Thank you for being such a big advocate for women, for educating and empowering us!
In a world where I feel we and our bodies can of be undermined - you helped me have a voice and believe in my body and what it's capable of

Chana

At 37 weeks my baby was transverse. The hospital wanted to turn her and induce me. Tsippy taught me exercises to try to get the baby to turn naturally.
After 2 days the baby had turned with no invasive intervention! The staff were shocked!!
Tsippy saved me from a painful risky procedure all with high-level care and support.

Yudit - UK

Thank you for preparing me for my birth experience. Your sessions were always so interesting, with enriching and detailed very useful content!!!
