Any Current Brio Birth Educators or Students Out There?

The normal rules on this blog are that if you want to defend or talk up Brio Birth, to do it elsewhere, because positive talk about Brio is not suppressed there.  This is a safe place to share the truth about the darker underbelly of Brio Birth.  In almost any other forum, that is strictly forbidden, because either it's controlled by Brio (and thus deleted), well-meaning forum owners or mods want to keep a happy-happy-joy-joy community and avoid controversy, or people are afraid to post because the Brio Bunch have shown themselves to be bullies, using legal threats to intimidate hardworking mothers who just want to serve others and supplement their family's income doing it.

That said, we've had reports of people taking virtual childbirth classes and instructor trainings.  Here's your chance!  Be very specific.  What do you like about the training?  The program? The materials?  What exactly are they offering?  What do you dislike?  Do you feel you are getting your money's worth?  What about the website - what are your thoughts on the design? The functionality?  Have you had the opportunity to network with other Brio students or any of the educators listed on the website?  Comments positive to Brio will not be deleted if they contain specific factual examples and realistic assessments.  Comments in the vein of "OMG U ALL R TURBLE I DON'T UNDERSTAND Y U HATE THE MOMMAZ AND BAYBEEZ BRIO IS GONNA SAVE THE WORLD!!!!!" that contain purely emotional appeals and no specific information and examples will, however, be deleted.  We might make fun of them, too.

  2. Too bad there's not a place we could go post this without getting deleted quickly. It would be nice to hear from anybody that's actually taken one of these trainings and get their honest input. Could be...... informative? educational? at least interesting?

  6. Please tell me someone screen shot it!!! Please anybody seeing anything you think is just not right, screen shot it. I was deleted from the group when I tagged...yes I tagged Brio Birth before I realized what tagging really did...them on my personal facebook page. I was removed from the BPI group. I never said anything in that group about brio.

  7. Hey BirthScam...you should be posting a link to this post on Facebook! Perhaps you should set up a couple of your current fans as admins to help you out in running the Facebook page since you say you don't know much about how to do it. Just send e-mails to a couple of them asking if they want to be admins, or post on the page asking for volunteers.

  8. Does anybody know what the latest blow-up was about? I love how they think using the delete button will magically make all the problems go away.

    1. I believe i was part of that thread... It wasn't a blow-up. It was kyle asking people's opinions about what they heard, people answering & him responding. Someone else suggested it wasn't the appropriate place for that conversation, it was agreed & taken down after that.... I don't have an inside information or strong opinions either way on brio birth, but that thread in particular was removed in the name of keeping the converstaion about birth, not to censor anyone.

    2. I heard there was more of a "discussion" than that Lia...perhaps it was a different discussion from the one you were involved in? I heard that things were said by people without a "vested side" that Naomi seemed to play the victim card too much, that she obviously had a failing business since so many people expressed disastifaction with the training they had gotten an there doesn't seem to be anyone speaking out in support of Brio.
