My partner and I loved taking Veronica's Lamaze class, as we found it to be informative without being overwhelming, and found Veronica herself to be a wonderful resource. The class covered all of my initial questions about labor, delivery, and the basics of infant care, as well as how to frame my own birth preferences and prepare to advocate for myself. The class also helped my partner, John, feel empowered both with information about what to expect, as well as with strategies to be an excellent birth support person. He came away with an arsenal of environmental, mindful, and hands-on ideas to help me cope during childbirth. We happily recommended this class to others, who also found it valuable, and we also enjoyed a followup consultation with Veronica once our little one had arrived- she is a wealth of knowledge about breastfeeding, current research, and the particular considerations of becoming new parents in NYC! Thank you to Veronica :) .

Veronica has a very welcoming and positive energy--I left her class much more informed about what to expect during my first childbirth. Veronica was very encouraging and made us feel comfortable asking all the questions we needed to. We learned a great deal and felt much better prepared (and excited!). I highly recommend her class to others.

I have had the privilege of working with Veronica through several Lamaze initiatives, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She brings an exceptional level of professionalism, thoughtfulness, and integrity to everything she does. Veronica is one of those rare professionals who consistently shows up fully prepared and deeply engaged. Her contributions are prompt, thorough, and insightful, and she approaches every responsibility with care and intellectual rigor. Whether she is serving on professional committees, developing educational content, or supporting Lamaze certification work, she delivers high-quality work on time or even ahead of schedule, with remarkable precision and attention to detail. Just as important, Veronica is a true joy to collaborate with. In group settings and volunteer committees, she brings a positive spirit, deep professionalism, and a genuine commitment to the shared mission. Her presence elevates both the work itself and the experience of everyone involved. Lamaze is truly fortunate to have Veronica as part of our professional community. I recommend Veronica to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, dependable, and deeply committed professional. Any organization or team will be stronger for having Veronica on it.

My wife and I found Veronica's Lamaze class very upbeat, focused, and thorough. Almost all questions we had regarding "before, during, and after" childbirth were addressed, including new questions we formed during the session with the content we were learning. The environment is warm and supportive, so all dialogue and participation comes naturally.
Veronica emphasizes the importance of the partner's role, and made sure I was digesting the information as well as my wife. One aspect I enjoyed in her teaching is that she'd talk to me directly as the partner, and prepared me for what to look for in my wife during her labor as the time proceeds. What we found especially informative is the list of choices we should expect to make when we arrive at the hospital, as the window of time for decisions can be very small.
Veronica's class left us feeling much more prepared and confident. We cleared up many unknowns, and feel more in control of the future. We'd happily recommend her class to anyone we know!
