Testimonial for Susan Rotman, AAHCC, CD(DONA)
When I signed my husband and I up for Susan's Bradley class, my husband had no idea what it was all about. Before it started he told me he thought he'd prefer to stay up by my head during our delivery. Flash forward nine months and he had morphed into a whole new man. He was educated, in control and right there in the front row seat taking in the whole experience.
And though we thought we were completely prepared, being a first-time parent you just don't know how to handle all of variables that are involved in the birth process. And running on two days of no sleep makes it even more challenging. Having Susan as our doula truly transformed our entire experience into a positive and empowering one. She always knew what to say and how to say it. Her reassurance and positive attitude kept me going through 25 hours of labor, whether it was suggesting a new position to labor in, when to walk the hallways, when to get in the tub. My husband will be eternally grateful for Susan's back up. Neither of us can fathom what it would have been like without her there.
There were times when I didn't think I could continue and I know if Susan wasn't there, things could have easily derailed. We can't thank her enough for being our source of strength and wisdom when we needed it most. She has a talent and nurturing spirit that defies description and she is doing exactly what she was put on this planet to do! We feel so lucky to have found her and shared this amazing journey with her.
