  • “I skyped in from Kalamazoo to LA to Khefri Riley's newborn care class. IT WAS SO DOPE. … best parent prep class I have attended to date. … She integrated ancient wisdom with the most up to date research as if she wrote [it]. Unwavering. Confident. Secure … If you get a chance, treat urself to a class with Khefri. Have a private nourishment session mamas & papas. She is non~judging; ur choices r sacred with Khefri. I got an a~tune~ment, and I was only sitting in from far away.“

  • "Khefri's newborn class was incredible. We did a one on one. She gave us a literal list with links if needed, of what to buy if you are having a baby lol! What you'll need within the first 2 weeks. She showed us how to swaddle and bathe, hold and care for a newborn."

  • "My partner and I took our Newborn Care Class (Virtual) with Khefri Riley and we had a wonderful experience. Khefri is incredibly patient and a good listener and has great advice on how to approach the birthing process. We appreciated her deep knowledge on a holistic naturopathic approach to our pregnancy which is what we wanted. We highly recommend LA Birth Partners birthing classes and I think it was the best possible experience while considering this was virtual. Thanks Khefri!"

  • "I loved my experience at Birth Partners. I took the birth labor basics and felt extremely confident prior to giving birth because of it. I also took the Newborn Care course and was a pro with the diaper changes."
