My husband and I just finished a 3 week course (3 Saturday mornings) on zoom for a prenatal class with Lenore from Mother Matters. Having a very large support system and lots of babies in the family, I honestly went into it feeling confident that I knew most things - but I was wrong. Lenore took the time to thoughtfully explain everything in the easiest way (with props!) from labour and delivery right into breastfeeding. There was so much detail included that I walked away feeling so much more informed and ready for this next chapter in our lives. My husband was also very impressed with the course. He took many notes but neither of us felt overwhelmed by the information. It was the perfect amount of information, taught in the perfect way. We even had some simple homework that got us talking as a couple about our wishes for labour and delivery and postpartum that we found extremely helpful. Lenore is kind, and very soothing in her approach and reminds the mother to trust their body and also provides so much confidence to both the mother and their partner or support person. Lenore also made it clear that she's available for any follow up questions during pregnancy or breastfeeding support! I could not recommend this prenatal class more! You won't regret it!

My wife and I are expecting our first in December and while there are many resources out there with plenty of information on what to do, what to expect, etc. At the advice of friends, we decided to try the course being offered by Mother Matters, and I can say with certainty that we are happy we did! Due to COVID, the course was online, so while it was not the most ideal experience, the information we were provided throughout was still extremely valuable and has absolutely helped us feel more ready than we already were. Lenore and her team have a wealth of knowledge, are non judgmental, and clearly show a personal touch with the work that they do. After our class concluded, we had a few additional questions, which Lenore personally tended to immediately. In a crazy time of our lives, this was exactly what we needed. Absolutely recommend for new parents!
We were very lucky to get Abi as our siblings Doula. I can't say enough good words about her. She is so amazing, carrying, sweet.
If you are considering Mother Matters, don’t hesitate - this should absolutely be your first choice for prenatal classes, doula support, breastfeeding help and anything else related to pregnancy and babies. The owner Lenore, is an incredible woman - she is warm, empathetic and most of all a wealth of knowledge. We did the private prenatal classes with her and it made such a difference for both my husband and I in being able to have a positive birth experience. She gave us information, handouts and strategies to use when the day came and my husband pulled them out and was able to be an awesome support person. This was during the time of covid when he was the only one allowed - which was an added layer of stress and complexity but he was able to take it in stride and really be exactly what I needed based on what we learned from Lenore. I even had her words echoing in my head when I got to the transition phase of labour that we were almost at the end - which helped me push through unmedicated! After baby was born we had trouble breastfeeding with a lot of pain (8 on pain scale). Most people said “it’s fine - don’t worry - it will get better on its own, including the LC I saw at the hospital. Lenore was one of the only people to tell me that no, that wasn’t normal and there were ways to make it more comfortable. Then she made it 100x better with some positioning advice! I went on to see the LC that works with Mother Matters - Ashley - and she is equally fantastic. Even more, Mother Matters has built an online community of past clients where we can get mom to mom support, advice and more - with Lenore often adding her wisdom too. You can’t ask for anything more. I considered many options, but am so glad I made the choice to go with Mother Matters and you will be too.
My husband and I took the prenatal course with Lenore which was recommended to us by our close friends and we couldn't be happier that we did! Lenore is a wealth of information and it was a joy learning from her. She is so caring and had countless recommendations for a variety of situations and issues that went above and beyond the course that showcased her extensive experience in the field. She was always available for any questions and advice and it truly helped to lessen some of our first-time parent anxiety! Also given that covid made the in-class sessions impossible, Lenore was flexible enough to offer us the course via zoom, and even accommodated us when we wanted to see some of the “hands-on” newborn care which was more difficult via zoom but Lenore made it happen for us. She also made herself available to rent us the TENS machine for pain and even included a small gift for our little one! We are grateful to have added Lenore to our support system. Her warmth, thoughtfulness, experience, and passion for helping parents-to-be made the experience a joy right from our first phone call! We HIGHLY recommend Lenore to help you navigate your parenting journey!
