As a new doula, I just took a Child/Infant CPR/Chocking class through Stork Childbirth Education. I signed up through the listing on their website, and then emailed a couple of times with Vanessa for instructions on how to use the class to get my certification card. Stork Childbirth Education were very responsive, getting back to me in 24-48 hours. They set up the logistics of communication around the class to be straightforward, smooth and easy. The class itself was also good. Located very conveniently, required masking, was led with skill and humor by a nurse with Georgetown H. I'd come back for more classes with them. :
Stork Childbirth Education sponsored our CPR training for a K-12 school with over 300 employees, all of whom are required to have certification. Their efficiency, knowledge, and professionalism set them apart from other providers. Thank you to Flynn, Lauren, Vanessa, and their team for ensuring we are prepared to support our students in the event of an emergency.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Stork Childbirth Education. First of all, their website is informative and user-friendly. The class descriptions were very helpful in selecting the right classes to take. I recently took the Baby Care and infant CPR class with Julia. Julia did a fabulous job taking the class through all of the content and demonstrating all of the CPR techniques. Though the class was virtual due to COVID, we still felt like we had a great experience and left the session feeling informed and empowered. I have recommended Stork Childbirth to all of my pregnant friends and highly recommend to anyone else that is expecting!
We did a private infant care and CPR class with Christina and it was incredibly helpful. As first time parents, the information that Christina shared helped put our minds at ease and feel more prepared for the steps ahead. Christina provided a lot of information clearly and in a way that made sense and patiently answered all of our questions. Additionally, scheduling was easy. I had reached out via email and Flynn was quick to respond and provide detailed information about the classes and scheduling. If you're starting your parenting journey, I'd recommend considering Stork!
Being pregnant with my first baby early in the pandemic, I was really nervous about not being able to do a real birthing class. I came across Stork and did their virtual baby bootcamp, and am so glad I did! It really made me feel prepared for the experience and demystified the terms doctors were using and the various ways I could go into labor and how it could progress. As a bonus for me, the nurse teaching was a nurse at Sibley, where I was going to deliver, so she was able to actually speak to practices at the exact place I was doing to deliver. Having now had two babies at Sibley, I can confirm that her version of what to expect was accurate! As a second time mom and coordinating a community mamas group, I was grateful that Vanessa from Stork volunteered her time to speak to our group. It’s a great women-led local business that gives back to the community.
I first want to thank everyone from Stork Childbirth. You all are very professional and you speak very clear and very easy to understand what you are explaining. The training was one of my best trainings. Hope we have more training from you in the future.
I used Stork for both CPR/choking and childbirth education for my first child almost three years ago, and I recently had a CPR/choking refresher before the birth of my new baby. Caroline was our nurse/instructor, and she was fantastic! She was professional, thorough, personable, knowledgeable, willing to work with us until we were comfortable. Everyone at Stork that we have worked with over the years has been top-notch. They are responsive and provide excellent instruction and additional resources. Highly recommend!!
I’m a grad student currently working on my thesis regarding ways to improve maternal mental health. I was lucky enough to interview Flynn, about her work with new and expecting parents and wow! She was so helpful and super knowledgable about maternal health. Even though I haven’t had the privilege to take courses with Stork just yet, I have no doubt that they provide amazing advice and emotional support for parents and their new additions!
What can I say other than superb, first-rate, and extremely knowledgeable! My Husband and I had the absolute pleasure of taking the Stork Childbirth Education + Baby Care & CPR class with Flynn. The hours flew by with us wanting even more! In our opinion this class taught by Flynn is hands-down the most effective way to learn all the different facets of Childbirth & Education. Flynn is as AWESOME as they come!!!
My husband and I took the Baby Bootcamp class in mid-December. The class was conducted via Zoom and was well-run, informative and interactive. While we would have loved to have taken it in-person in different circumstances, we appreciated having a safe and virtual option in these strange times. Shoutout to Lillian for the Childbirth portion of the class, who was phenomenal. I hope she's working when we go into labor! I did have a little trouble signing up for the class online, as the registration seemed to be down but I emailed them and Taylor, the Stork intern, got back to me right away and helped us get signed up! I would highly recommend the class to anyone looking to get a comprehensive and interesting childbirth/parenting class.
