What would you do?

I am planning on taking Hypnobirthing classes, but I can't decide which to take. Help me!

There is a lady named Launi, who teaches Hypnobirthing about 1 hour from my house. I have heard amazing things about her. Launi is the regional representative for Hypnobirthing and instructs other Hypnobirthing instructors. She charges $175 for her classes. Plus, the cost of gas going back and forth.

I emailed Launi and asked her if she would recommend anyone closer to home. She did give me a name of someone who's close. That girl, Eryn, charges $250 for her classes.

What would you do? Launi or Eryn? I almost feel like it's worth it to drive an hour there and back to know that I'm getting the best instruction since this is kind of a big deal. But we're not exactly swimming in money right now, so it would be nice to do it locally.

TIA

I would go with the amazing one who is an hour away. That's really not that bad considering it's only 5 classes.

I agree! I think the more experienced one sounds like the best choice! You could always contact Eryn to see if she'll give you a discount since you most likely will be going with your 1st choice otherwise. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask! GL

I would go with Launi. It will probably end up being the same amount of money when you include gas and everything. If it's a wash financially I'd go for the more experienced instructor.
