Reviews
Amisha Murray
Although having water birth is one of the most magical things that a woman can do, I was very scared and sometimes even discouraged but I’m so thankful for Coy, for not only motivating me through the process but for tending to all my needs and trying to make me as comfortable as possible before, during and after my pregnancy.
