“Hatched was a great introduction to becoming new parents. We found Carmen so relatable and knowledgeable, she created a safe environment where we have made friendships with others on the same journey. We felt like we could always ask questions and have discussions about all topics. We loved having the booklet as well as access to the online course; we have watched a few extra video’s and have found it so helpful. Thank you so much!”
