Before attending Lydia’s antenatal class, I am really doubtful if I can manage the process of labor and breastfeeding myself. But after two day lessons, Lydia shared with me many practical and useful techniques on both labor and breastfeeding. She not only taught us the theory behind, but she also demonstrated how we do the breathing and pushing during labor and helped us to correct the posture for breastfeeding with a “toy baby”. This interactive learning process and her enthusiastic teaching attitude really give me lots of strength and confidence in how to handle labor and breastfeeding. As a father, Lydia also gave her sincere and convincing speech to persuade my husband to stay with me during labor and shared with him what roles and actions he can help me as a new-born daddy. I truly believe Lydia’s lesson has also enhanced my husband’s confidence in the parenthood during the new-born stage. Moreover, she is not only responsive and reachable during lessons. She extended her assistance to us through email and “whatsapp” after we completed the class. I am amazed how fast she replied my questions and gave us the information and contacts that we need. And she is considerate like our parents that can actually help us to look for the greatest discount and promotion whenever we need to acquire any products. I am truly thankful for knowing such nice and passionate tutor, and I look forward to establish a friendship with Lydia and my classmates too.

At the beginning, I was afraid the class would be boring as its quite long. However, the class is very easy to understand and it attracted me to keep listening like a story. Though I do not have any experience before, it’s easy to understand and interesting. I can totally feel the heart of Lydia when she is teaching. She has endless experience and stories to share and she hopes to pass all her knowledge to use selflessly. She is succeed in involving my husband to participate in the class. Throughout the whole pregnancy period, I feel these two classes are the moments that we really share the happiness and the difficulties to welcome our new member. The notes provided are very comprehensive and useful. I misunderstand the usage and function of milk and I immediately stop drinking after proper coaching of Lydia. Also, Lydia has saved a lot of our searching time to search for useful and good products. I just gather all the them after the class which has relieved me a lot. Truly grateful with the continuous free support by phone or emails. I do hope I can apply all the knowledge she has taught. I would attend if Lydia offers baby care class in the coming future.

The content is direct and easy to comprehend. Focus is clear and addresses our main concern (labour and breastfeeding). Conductor is super friendly and at the same time professional as she answered all questions that we raised. Notes provided by email are useful, however, they come in bits and pieces, it would be more user friendly to put them into just 1 or 2 files. The mentioned continue free postnatal support by email and phone gives us assurance and a great sense of ‘safety’, it is important for us to know there is a person we can reach out to if we are in need. Products recommended are also well appreciated especially when I always have difficulty in choosing from such an over excessive of choices out there in the market. We greatly appreciate these 2 class sessions. Now it’s time to get to learn about nursery stuff!

Very informative, learned a lot in class. Although it is very intense and much information loaded, but it is definitely very resourceful. Lydia is very sincere, pleasant, friendly and convincing. All the notes provided are very comprehensive and useful, I am still reviewing all the notes and learned a lot. Im grateful to have attended the classes.

When we knew our first baby is coming along, we understand that it is essential for us to attend some prenatal classes in order to prepare what’s coming along. However, we were also told that the prenatal class as organized by Hospitals would usually be very general. I was then recommended by my colleague that Lydia’s class is very comprehensive. After 6 numbers of intensive classes, we are very grateful for Lydia’s useful advice on labour techniques and also her immense effort in promoting breastfeeding. There are a lot of techniques that we wouldn’t know unless we have attended these classes. These valued information and product introduction that Lydia provided are greatly useful that no any books or other medias could provide such proficient and comprehensive information. We are fortunate that we have attended Lydia’s course and we would highly recommended this course to all mother and father-to-be.

The classes are very well-structured and comprehensive. They enable me to know a lot more about the two topics which I was most concerned (and which I had least confidence) – natural delivery and breastfeeding, and boost my faith and determination to attempt these two. Lydia is definitely a good and friendly teacher. With her experience in the topics, she is able to deliver her teachings in a convincing manner and I and my husband always found the 4 hours which we spent with Lydia as rewarding and interesting. We are also thankful for the post-natal support as well as the product recommendation which Lydia offers. It is really helpful, especially in view that the information on the internet is abundant but not entirely reliable. Lydia, all the best, and thanks for sharing your priceless knowledge and experience with us!

We are very thankful that we have taken Lydia’s prenatal classes for our first child. Not only for the comprehensive information that Lydia has provided us with – covering topics from prenatal care to postnatal breastfeeding skills and technique – in an easy to understand as well as a pleasant way; but more importantly, Lydia has shown us tremendous passion for breastfeeding and the right parenting attitude which is very influential. I am certain I will find the impact useful for a lifetime! It might sound quite demanding to sit four hours for each class, but Lydia has made time fly and we are still very engaged in her interesting stories and sharing at the end of each class. It is also a great way for husband and wife (also baby in the tummy!) to bond every Sunday in a meaningful way – learning from and laughing with Lydia and the classmates. I would recommend Lydia’s class to every friend of mine who will be giving birth in the future. Many thanks again Lydia – for your passion and perseverance in promoting breastfeeding! We are very proud and grateful to have the chance to learn from you.

I am impressed by Lydia’s professional knowledge and her passion. 

I was introduced by my friend, although I am a late comer, Lydia has tried her best to give us the previous classes’ information and even provide us a private tuition at her home with other late couples. She is really friendly and helpful.

During each 4 hours lecture, her professional advice is very precise and up to date. Her energetic and proactive coaching (teaching) method will impress you. You can absorb as much information as possible within such a short period.  

Moreover, the products she recommended are really useful and help me to save a lot of time for browsing through the markets. It is a gift to a working mother like me. 

I will definitely referring her courses to my friends.

My husband and I feel so lucky to attend your class before you get retired.  

The course is comprehensive and informative. Almost cover everything new parents need to know. Very detail presentation and demonstration on breathing technique during laboring, breastfeeding and baby care. 

Really appreciate your passion, enthusiasm and professionalism on prenatal and postnatal care. The class materials that you provided are practical and up-to-date.   We are impressed with your upbeat, confirmative tone and excellent presentation skill. You make all materials clear and easy to understand, make the class full of fun and most importantly make us stay awake throughout the entire 4 hours session.   

You totally understand the anxiety and concern of being new parents. Your prompt reply on every single email and after class support, make us never being left alone. 

I absolutely didn’t feel any pressure on buying products that you recommend in class. I am so pleased that this extra service saves us tons of time to shop around and do research in the market.   

Thank you so much for all effort that you made and wish we all can apply what we have learned in your class to our life.

Lydia’s antenatal class impressed me.   Before I attend the class, I didn’t understand why there are 5 sessions and each of the session is 4 hours.  After I attended the class, I understand the reason.  Lydia is very experienced and professional.  She is very enthusiastic in breastfeeding.  The information is all rounded.  There wasn’t a moment in the class I will feel bored.  My husband and I are very focused because we didn’t want to miss out anything.  We learnt a lot and we are brainwashed by Lydia.  We will do our best to breastfeed our child and as promised to Lydia, we will also be her ambassadors.

 Name : Tenny Chee             Class No: HK1001    Date: 7 Feb 2010  

I would highly recommend Lydia’s antenatal classes to all the new parent-to-be’s.  It’s extremely informative and comprehensive. It covers a wide range of information that is really helpful.  The way of her presentation and demonstration can truly help you to understand the technique of breastfeeding, baby care and most importantly the walkthrough of the entire labour process.  My husband and myself are really happy about taking the course.  Lydia’s knowledge and care helped overcome my nervousness and gave me strength in natural labour and breastfeeding. 

I am happy that I don’t have to do much research on all the needed products, as I believe Lydia has already picked the best for us.  The discount was really a bonus to us. 

I have to say thank to my friends in Toronto who recommended Lydia’s class to us.   

To the very last, my husband and I wish to this an opportunity to say THANK YOU to you.  We are confident that your guide will lead us to success in breastfeeding.

One of your former students, Jennifer Lam, recommended your course to me, and it really was the best gift she could ever gift to my baby.  The classes are very informative, and the materials are very helpful.  I really don’t know how other mothers could survive first time motherhood without attending your classes! 

My sister-in-law breastfeeds her baby (who is now 6 months old) but has had lots and lots of problems along the way.  At times, I think she has difficulty breastfeeding because she is too stressed and too exhausted.  Before attending your classes,  I did fully intend to breastfeed, but I wasn’t going to force myself if I wasn’t successful.  However, after attending your classes, I now realize knowing the right techniques is very important and I am now determined to try all my best to breastfeed my baby!

 Thanks for everything Lydia.

It has been our pleasure to attend your class. It is a wonderful experience. We have learned a lot. The information offered in the class and on your website is so impressive and I believe that no other prenatal class can offer something even close to what you have provided. We enjoy your classes, they are so much fun and I don’t remember how many laugh we shared in the class. Your presentation skill and attitudes are super and we know that you really care. I am really impressed by how quickly you response to the emails day and night. The products offered are excellent, and they save us a lot of time and efforts for searching good products. We are more confident at smooth labour, successful breastfeeding and good baby care now than ever, since we know that you will offer your supports all the way through even after delivery! 

Excellent work, Lydia! Thank you very much!

Lydia, my husband and I are so grateful to have attended your classes and we are now well prepared for the arrival of our baby. The information you have given us in class is extremely useful.  Your passion for pre and post natal teaching was remarkable. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. You have completely changed my view of giving birth, I used to think that I wouldn’t be able to stand the pain and must have an epidural, but now I think I would try not to use any medications unless it is necessary. I so much want to feel my baby inside me when he comes out of me!!! I will do it naturally!

We appreciate your love and care and support, keep up the great work Lydia, and please take care and hope you find someone passionate like yourself before you think of quitting. Many more mothers will need your professional help and advice!

Lydia’s prenatal class is very impressive. I found all information provided in the class is very useful and I feel much more confident and much more prepared for labor and taking care of new born baby. I have couple of friends who just recently gave birth to new babies and when we discussed about breast feeding, labor and other related matters, I found that I had a lot more knowledge learned from Lydia’s class. Some of challenges faced by new moms were discussed in the class. I feel very lucky to attend the class and definitely I will recommend Lydia’s class to my friends.

Dear Lydia Ling,

You are truly a passionate teacher. Your classes are very enjoyable and memorable. You have given me more confidence in myself after taking part in your classes. I feel more prepared for this new chapter in my life.  

My Mother-in-law enjoyed every class that she participated in. She enjoyed it so much that she wanted to join my husband and me in class. She and I find you very entertaining in the way you present the material in class. There was never a dull or boring moment.  

Thank you for offering us your unconditional support. You always pick up our phone calls and reply to our emails quickly. You always provide us with an informative answer to every question that we had. You even answer questions that we think about. You are amazing at what you do. Knowing that you offered your support to us means a lot!  

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. We truly appreciate everything that you went through for us. Thank you Lydia Ling!

Love,   Michelle Chan                                Class No:  TC0811                        Date: 16 Dec 2008

Lydia, thank you so much for all the effort that you have made in the class. The classes were full of useful information. Your method of lecturing is full of fun, even if it’s almost 5 hrs lecture, we had never fell asleep! From the suggestion and advices that you gave us, we can see that you are not only knowledgeable but thoughtful.

I love the last session for breast feeding especially, because you allowed us to try the position and feeling of breast feed, it’s very practical!

The products that you introduced are full of variety and should be very helpful

Overall my husband and I enjoyed you lectures a lot, and you have given us a good experience.

My husband and I found the course to be very comprehensive and enjoyable.  Despite each prenatal class lasted for more than 5 hours, Lydia demonstrated her excellent public-speaking skills and presented the course materials in an interesting and interactive manner.  Further, Lydia has repetitively emphasized the key valuable points from each class, which we believe are now engrained in all of her students’ minds.  We also appreciate Lydia’s passion towards pre/post-natal care, breastfeeding as well as her parenting tips. 

Name: Gloria Chung                    Class: TC0809                  Date:  Oct 27, 2008  

1.  The information offered in class and on website is very useful and informative.  We are glad that you have provided us with so much useful information (both in class and on website) that we do not have to search around for these information and yet unsure about the validity of the information.  Also, the information you have provided covers almost all aspects of what a first time parent should know and it is very helpful.   

2.  Your presentation skill is excellent.  You were very clear and to the point when presenting the content of your material.  Also, you have presented in an interesting and easy to understanding way that although each session lasted about 5 hours, we did not find it boring at all.  With respect to your attitude, we do find that you are a very sincere, pleasant and friendly person.  Although sometimes you are quite demanding, we understand that you have done that simply for our own benefits and we appreciate that.  We also find that you do have the power in convincing people on all the good benefits of breastfeeding.  We are sure that a lot of people have changed their minds about breastfeeding after attended your prenatal class and we think it is a good thing.  We do require more prenatal classes like yours so that more people would know the benefits of breastfeeding.   

3. The demonstrations and practical (especially about the breastfeeding practical) were very helpful though they were a little too short.  If time allows, we would prefer more time be spent on the demonstrations and practical so that we can at least see each demonstration twice and practice for breastfeeding twice as they would be easily forgotten if they were only shown or practiced once due to the fact that there were too many things we have learnt in such a short period, e.g. breastfeeding, finger feeding, lactation aid technique, baby bathing, etc.   

4.  We love the products and this service that you offered.  With your expertise and experience in this field, we have confidence in the quality of the products that you offered, which means that we can get the products from you worry-free.  In addition, we love this one-stop shopping service so much as we do not have to go everywhere to find and get the different products.  And the best thing is you have offered some products that we cannot even get anywhere but are useful for us. 

5. We are very happy with the support you offered all through and your promise that you will keep supporting us even after delivery.  This really makes us worry-free.   

Name: Sylvain Yung & Philip Poon            Class: TC0809                       Date:  Oct 29, 08

 The 7 sections of the prenatal class are very informative, especially to the dad-to-be.  He’ll have the preparation of welcoming a new born, and at the same time, not missing to care about the wife’s feeling.  It also help the dads to understand more on how to help the moms out besides mental support. 

With lot of information (notes, handouts), it really helps us to prepare, and review the important points, especially when we are encountering the pain, after birth baby care and postnatal care, I’m glad that there are something for me to reference to anytime. 

It’s persuasive enough especially on the breastfeeding sections, even though all the moms haven’t give birth yet, but I’m pretty sure we all are pretty confident giving the best to our babies – breast milk. 

The last thing is the convenience of a “one stop shop” of all the great products that you are able to provide. It really ease us, the new parents out on what we should get for the new born, and ourselves. 

Thank you once again Lydia for providing such wonderful, informative classes.

Your class is very valuable with all those information from both of your experience and updated knowledge. We have gained our confident by completing it. We believe that we can give birth and grow our baby in a most natural way by the knowledge that we have absorbed from your class and with your strong back up service.

Your class is enjoyable. You are not just teaching, but also sharing your best with us, and helping us with your heart to make that special stage in our life as smooth as it can be. You are second to none.  

We can’t thank you enough, but we still want to say: thank you so much!  

P.S.: Don’t get retired that early. There are still lots of people need your help.

 Lydia Ling is one of the best instructors I’ve ever met, her class has taught me all the important information on prenatal, postnatal, baby care, breast-feeding & even social communication skills. She has taught me everything I expect or want to learn, and has unselfishly disclosed every details in different aspects.  Her class content is clear, easy to understand & interesting, the way she interprets is sincere, funny & never boring, no one would fall asleep in her class.  

I am quite an impatient person myself and hate going to classes or seminars, but since I took this course I actually looked forward to attend this class every week, I had no urge to skip classes at all!

Overall, this is an excellent course that I would certainly recommend to all my expectant friends (which I already did!)

Keep up with the good job & thank you for your teaching!

Dear Lydia,

We’re grateful to have you as our prenatal class instructor.  Your information and the techniques you’ve taught us are definitely useful.  We’re confident to tell people that after attending your prenatal class, we’re now well prepared to meet the challenge. 

You’re always energetic and enthusiastic.  It’s not easy to sit for a 4-hour lesson on every Sunday (especially for a pregnant woman with a big belly), but we’ve never found your lesson boring because there’s always so much to learn, and most importantly, you’ve made your lesson fun and easy to understand.  We really enjoyed your teaching and we’ve found each of those Sunday afternoons just flew by quickly.   We’re now looking forward to the arrival of our baby.  We wish you all the best in continuing this meaningful career.  May God give you strength and bless you! 

Love in Christ,

Lydia, Being a pair of young first time parent, me and my husband know nothing about prenatal care, labour, breastfeeding and newborn care.  However, after we attended your class, we are now an expert.  We now feel very comfortable being a parent, feel confidence delivering our baby, feel confidence in breastfeeding.  Lydia, not only you teach us everything in class, but you even went the extra mile to organize parenting seminar for us, introduce all the valuable products in discounted price for us, posting all the class notes for us, opened the chat room for us to communicate with classmates.  Me and my husband, and I am sure all the classmates are all very thankful for that. 

We can really see the love, the caring from you.  Not only we learned about prenatal, pregnancy, labour, breastfeeding and new baby care.  We also learnt about how to be a good parent, be patient, loving, caring of baby.  You also taught us the bonding, the communication between husband and wife, and between parent and their new baby.  Most importantly, you send us the message of how wonderful, how incredible God have done to create human.   Lydia, once again, thank you so much for your support, for you love, for everything you’ve taught us!

We will definitely recommend your class to everyone we know. Thank you God for sending us to your class.

 Lydia, your passion and enthusiasm for teaching these classes was outstanding. Your willingness to share your knowledge and experience on these topics was greatly appreciated by Billy and myself. Both of us felt a lot more prepared and educated on what is to be expected as we get near our delivery date and thereafter. Compared to all of my previous teachers & university instructors, I found your style of teaching refreshing and of the highest quality. You demonstrated a sincere and genuine desire to help parents to be well informed around breastfeeding and other important topics related to pre and post natal care. Please accept our heart felt thanks and appreciation for all the information you have provided in each of your class.  Your classes were extremely comprehensive.

 It was a very rewarding experience to be able to join your class and learn from you. You let us know exactly what to expect on every stage of the pregnancy, and where to seek for help when we have concerns or questions. Also, even my husband couldn’t understand Chinese, but by attending your class, he can absolutely feel your enthusiasm to help the parents-to-be, and share all your knowledge and experience with us. We are so glad to meet you and hope many MANY other parents-to-be can have a chance to know you. And again, just want to let you know that your SUPPORT is greatly appreciated.

What an EXTRAORDINARY prenatal class!!!  I never expected so much details from each of the session.  I am very glad that I joined your class,  it has given me more information that I needed to know.  Now,  I am confident that when I go to Labour, I know what is expected from me and I am sure that by remembering every single words of yours (your relaxation techniques), I will have a smooth and quick Labour. Lydia, once again, it was one of a kind session.  Please keep up your great work to support other Mom-to-be like myself.

1.      Content:  All the contents covered in the class were very practical, detailed, clear and it was easy to understand.  I especially enjoyed our ‘practical session’, the videos were very interesting (although I would suggest to also include a video on natural birth), and it was great to have the one-on-one on the positioning on breast feeding.  The session with Dr. Paul Shuen was also very informative.  To obtain professional oversight and the Q&A session was really helpful, it helped us clarified a lot of our concerns in regards to Epidural, Medal Blades and Vacuum.   Every class was filled with a lot of useful information; it was all in all an excellent class!

2.      Conductor’s Attitude:  Lydia was truly amazing!  Energetic, friendly and with her touch of humor had made the course interesting from beginning to the end!  She was able to provide us with clear and convincing advice from her wide range of knowledge gained in her many years of professional experience.  The guidance that she had provided was precise, practical and to the point.  Everything that I had learned from the 7 classes (especially as a first time mother) will be crucial to the development of myself (throughout the pregnancy) and the growth of my baby.  Thank you so much Lydia for passing on your knowledge to us!  Keep up the great work Lydia! (Don’t retire just yet : )

Dear Lydia,

Please accept our most sincere appreciation for the valuable information you have provided to us in the past few classes.  We found each and every single class very informative.  All the slides and demonstrations made the different topics a lot easier to understand.  Reinforced with the notes provided after each class, it gave us the complete picture and point of references whenever we needed it.

We are most impressed with the diet/medical information that also considers the Chinese traditions.  You have made us understand what are important and how to respect the traditions and at the same time, filtered out anything that are no longer applicable to this day and age. Also, careful considerations about concerns and conflict between older generations for sure will come in handle if different views regarding breastfeeding should arise.

We feel that you have empowered us with knowledge and information should any situation arise during labour or breastfeeding.  We are confident that we can handle them with grace. 

We will recommend you to any expecting parents.  Not only our friends but anyone we cross path with.  We believe your class will benefit our family for the rest of our lives.

Lastly, we would like to thank your husband, Mr. Yu, also.  We feel that he is also an integral part of the course but we never had a chance to thank or applause him. 

Sincerely,

Barbara and Johnathan                                                     Class:  MS0606    

My wife and I are first time parents. So, we’re really nervous about the whole pregnancy process and

taking care of the new born. Luckily, we attended Lydia’s prenatal classes. Lydia’s classes covered all 

the key topics from the early pregnancy to taking care of the new born baby. We learnt a lot from the  

classes and feel more comfortable about what is coming up next. Also, Lydia is very passionate about

her students and her teaching. She is very energetic and a lively teacher. Every class is four hours long

full of useful information but you won’t get bored. Only a great teacher can teach a class like that!!

A+ Teaching. A+ Information. A+ Support. Your course is packed with great tips and information for any expectant mother and father. Your detailed coverage on the different prenatal topics is enriched by lively examples drawn from your extensive experience with real mothers. As a leading advocate of breastfeeding, you are convincing on why babies should be fed on breast milk. Your talks are also full of humors and have high entertainment value.

You also provide great support via phone and e-mail. Your response to e-mails is lightning fast. This shows your enthusiasm in helping your students both inside and outside the classroom. You also save us time and money by providing product lists for the mothers and the babies. We welcome this as a bonus.

 In conclusion, we will not hesitate to recommend your course to our friends and relatives.
