“Virginia Ahearn is a very knowledgeable herbalist. I learned alot in her class and plan on attending future classes. I recommend other herbalists or those with an interest in herbal medicine to consider attending as well. It was well worth it and very affordable!!”

“I met Virginia at a time when I wanted to turn my health around naturally. Her five-month introductory course taught me so much about herbs and natural healing. I learned to prepare teas and tinctures, herbals baths, oils & vinegars, and lip balms as well as medicinal uses of many herbs. I left her class with a wealth of knowledge and was able to take what I learned to the next level, working in an herbal apothecary in Manhattan’s West Village.”

“Virginia was a great help for us in the first days after the birth of our son. There are moments when you just feel so inexperienced. Virginia helped us find a rhythm and routine with our son early on. We highly appreciated her emotional and hands-on support. Especially, she was of great support with breastfeeding. Thanks again Virginia!”

“Virginia came to us when I had my third son and I wish that I met her earlier. I had never used a doula before, but always heard good things — what I got was so much more. I called Virginia my “rent-a-mom without the guilt (and nagging)” — she came in did the cooking, laundry, and took care of my infant, so that I could close my eyes and get the rest that I desperately needed without a second thought or feeling bad that someone else was doing all the work. There was no need to explain or teach or show Virginia anything, she did everything that I thought I needed, and some things that I didn’t even know I needed. She helped me breastfeed and keeping me motivated to pump even when I didn’t want to. She was great with my older kids too, and made great meals that the whole family loved. She has such a peaceful calming presence, I remember counting the minutes until she arrived and so saddened when it was time for her to go. We really appreciated her time here and I can see her added value to any family that she works with as a doula or in any other capacity.”

“I was privileged to have Virginia’s support at the birth of my second child. After a long night of laboring, I told her that I wanted to do the work she did. Two years later I was working as a doula and childbirth educator. I continue to be as honored to work with Virginia as I was to include her in my son’s birth eight and a half years ago. In all those years, she is one of only a handful of practitioners that has seen our family through all stages of wellness and met our many needs from an herbal and holistic perspective.”
