Reviews From Parents - Online Course Collaborators & In-person Courses

  • “We can’t say enough wonderful things about the course Charlotte and Teresa have put together - based around practical, research based methods to save young lives, they are truly equipping young parents like us with life saving skills. 100% recommend for new and experienced parents!”

    - Ezel K [Navigating Injuries & illnesses online]

  • “We did the course for myself, husband and Mum (Grandma to child) and it was so worth it. Everyone took away different key learnings. We loved the real time feedback for CPR so you truly know how hard and fast things need to be. The course is super comprehensive and well worth time and money, to be informed and keep your little one (and others) safe in the event of an emergency. Char had a lovely f2f approach and no question was "dumb", you don't know what you don't know and &Breathe want to you to be best informed and educated. Absolutely my top reccomended infant, baby and child first aid course”

    - Katrina H [navigating injuries & illnesses in-person]

  • "These bite size chunks are such a convenient way to do a course. Love that you don’t have to rewind a full video and can go back to any bits you need. Being pregnant with a one year old myself it’s great to easily replay bits I can’t remember. Everything was explained so well. Demos are great for visual learners. Thanks for informing me about bitter blue batteries. I’d never heard of them but what a great concept. 10/10 recommend"

    - Kyla B [Navigating injuires & Illnesses online]

  • “I've really loved this course. As a nurse and mum of 2 young children myself I get asked a lot of first aid questions from friends and family. I will be recommending every parent, grandparent, caregiver etc to do this course as it's factual, easy to follow and done in your own time. I love that we can go back to the different topics as needed and each topic is well presented and also easy to find! 10/10 recommend"

    - Audrey S [Navigating injuries & illnesses online]

  • "Amazing course - practical, real world first aid. We took the course to prepare ourselves before going travelling for 9 weeks overseas with our 6 month old, and it could not have been better. Charlotte was an incredible teacher - her guidance based on what parents really need to know. Would highly recommend."

  • “First aid for children can be a daunting topic, but I was lucky to have Charlotte come into my home so it was a safe and comfortable environment. Charlotte was a fantastic educator and so knowledgeable — the fact she has her own medical background built confidence in what I was learning.”
