One customer wrote, "Thank you so much-your meditations have kept me company for 10 months, through fertility treatments, the pregnancy and the delivery. It's hard for me to even imagine what the whole experience would have been like without the meditations, but my guess is I would have been far less physically and emotionally comfortable, and I truly believe the delivery and labor program allowed me to deliver naturally vs. having a caesarean"
