My husband and I recently completed this course via zoom. It was great! It has helped us feel very prepared. Between the sessions, the handouts and the community. Highly recommend signing up.

My husband and I signed up for the breastfeeding webinar via zoom and I am so glad we did! The live class was a great mix of discussion, Q&A, images and videos, all helpful tools in explaining the process which is very important to me as a first-time mom. They also provided resources that we can reference once our baby arrives. I would highly recommend this class to women and couples who may be curious or hesitant about breastfeeding, you will learn so much!

I can't say enough great things about The Parent Collective! I'm due with my first baby at the end of August and feel so much more at ease after taking the series of 4 classes. Having a kind, experienced instructor walk my husband and I through everything from labor to breast feeding and newborn care was extremely helpful. I can't wait to put all of this new knowledge to use!

Fantastic people, unique idea and best prenatal classes ever!! I was super lucky to attend just before labor. Made everything less scary and I have new friends to stroll together through NYC and support each other during this challenging time. Melissa you are the best!

The founders, Jessica and Melissa are amazing, so down-to-earth and honestly, brilliant to have started this much needed initiative! Parenthood is much easier when you have the support of others (in your area) going through the same thing. Love everything about The Parent Collective

The Parent Collective is an amazing resource for first, second, third+ time parents! Pregnancy can be such an exciting, but scary time. TPC offers classes and workshops that educate soon-to-be parents and help them form lasting friendships. We're so lucky to have this resource in our community!!

The Parent Collective was an incredible resource for us, even as second-time parents. We learned so much our classes but also formed great relationships with other expectant couples in the area--something very valuable as we had just moved here from the city. We now look forward to attending other informational sessions in the future! Fantastic company!

I highly recommend these classes for expectant parents! I felt fully prepared for what to expect and what my options were during the recent labor and delivery of our son. We had the easiest and most stress free delivery possible. I attribute this to what we learned in our TPC classes. We are using the information form the baby care classes every day, now that we are parents. I found these classes much more helpful than other classes I've taken or the books I've read.

Just plain exceptional. The Parent Collective is a fabulous forum for information sharing, learning, understanding and bonding. There is something to being a part of a local group vs. any other online forum. You learn detailed information catered to your questions from a fantastic line up of professionals all while creating lasting relationships with local couples who are in your exact situation. Highly suggest for not only first time parents, but also those looking to have their second, or third!

We attended The Parent Collective in TriBeCa. The classes, led by Courtney, were excellent and covered just the right amount of information to leave us feeling prepared as first time parents, but not so much that it was overwhelming. It was great to meet other local parents in the same group each week. We highly recommend TPC.

My husband and I left these workshop classes feeling much better prepared for becoming first-time parents. The anxiety of labor, delivery and infant care were all addressed- we highly recommend this class for anyone expecting a child!

Cynthia, I had a beautiful home birth to our second baby boy. In short, an all natural birthing experience out of a hospital setting is just wonderful. It is empowering, and the challenge of birth becomes a joy and your work rather than having it taken away from you and risking unnecessary intervention. I sometimes compare it to the joy, positive challenge and sense of empowerment that a marathon might bring...though it is much better. It is just so empowering, natural and wonderful. I am so excited for other moms to experience the same. I loved your class. The time seemed to fly by every session. Cynthia, I'm sure you change many people's lives with your classes and for changing mine I am very grateful.

Cynthia, I can't thank you enough. You provided me with the techniques, personal attention and emotional support I was hoping for in preparing for as natural a birth as possible. And, I did it! HypnoBirthing educated my husband and me fully about today’s conventional medical practices, especially valuable for those of us choosing to birth in naturally a conventional hospital. I was empowered to recognize my choices and felt in control, safe and confident to voice my desires.

My son was born into a beautiful room on a beautiful day. My husband’s memory is of a quiet labor in the light of the rising sun. I was both deeply inside myself and beyond the edges of the universe. The memory of his birth still brings me to tears. He was born, and I was reborn as a mother. I know two truths: one is that I was the only person in the world who could birth my own baby. The second is that I had a village of people who helped me overcome my fears and recognize my ability to birth. You’ve heard the metaphor about standing on the shoulders of giants? I felt I stood on the shoulders of those who came before me, a village of people holding my hand. Thank you, Cynthia, for being an enormous part of my birth experience, and for the work that you do to empower and uplift. You are a giant who is making a world of difference.

Cynthia, I'm writing you to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful job you did teaching us HypnoBirthing. Over my career I've had the ability to have many of the world's foremost healthcare coaches in my profession. I can say I would sincerely rank you amongst the best, as you come from a place of such passion and knowledge. You have given both my wife and me the fortitude to have the birth that we dreamed of. Thank you again your warmth and knowledge. I believe that the process of bringing a baby into this world is the most important function that any of us can play and I believe, with your support, your clients get everything they can possibly need.
