Testimonial for Susan Rotman, AAHCC, CD(DONA)
My wife and I both cannot thank or possibly speak any higher of our experiences being in one of Susan's Bradley classes and while she was by our side as our Doula.I am a convert to Bradley and alternative birthing methods,My wife is the one who got me into even believing in anything child-birth wise other than the drug and hospital norm. After watching 'the business of being born" I came around.While at the birth center we heard Susan's name mentioned for birth classes. It just happened to be the same class my wife had found at home.So we signed up for a Sunday class held at Susan's home.We both loved Susan from the start. It was also great to meet a bunch of other couples that were also experiencing life on a common front.Susans's class covered everything from health during the pregnancy to relaxation techniques for the day of birth. Susan's class even covered info for after-birth like breastfeeding,diapering and infant cpr.During one of our Sunday classes Susan mentioned her doula services. I had always been a solid "NO" when it came to doulas. Surprisingly I was totally comfortable and ok with Susan being there on our day of birth. She made both of us feel comfortable just being around her. Being a first time father it also brought a feeling of relief knowing someone would be there for us.On our day of birth Susan met up with us at the birth center and i felt and instant weight lifted from my shoulders. She always knew what to do or how to move. She brought comfort and control without making I the father feel pushed away. It was all that we ever wanted. Our son came in to this world naturally at 2:23am with Susan there by our side sharing it all with us.From the class giving us the power of knowledge to Susan being there as our Doula it's been amazing. For all those expecting that are within our presence and for all those who read this, we cant recommend Susan's Bradley classes or Doula services enough.
