Testimonial for Susan Rotman, AAHCC, CD(DONA)
We love Susan so, so much! She taught us the Bradley Method of childbirth and we found it so incredibly helpful!!
While we would recommend Bradley to any couple anywhere, but we are certain that Susan is the best teacher in the Triangle area. We attended most of the classes at her home, and also made the trek to Chapel Hill for a few classes at the Women's Birth and Wellness Center. Absolutely, 100% worth the time and effort to make it to every class, get to know her, and meet other couples and growing families.
In the beginning, we weren't sure about natural childbirth. It was something that resonated with me, since I like to avoid unneccessary interventions in general, but I had no idea about the variety of things birthing in a hospital sets forth and what my options were. Susan gave us everthing we needed to feel comfortable and confident enough that we went for a natural birth! We wrote our birth plan requesting no interventions and presented it to our doctors.
By the time we were done with the class, we felt like birth geniuses. We successfully gave bith (with no interventions!) to a healthy baby boy, who is now thriving at 4 months old. Susan has continued to be such a knowledgeable resource to us with the entire process: birth, baby, and new family questions. I look forward to reaching out to her because I know I'll be welcomed with love, acceptance, and I trust that she's giving me information backed by science and a fabulous mother of 2 of her own kids.
Susan's class included hands-on instruction of infant CPR, some helpful infant care tips, and a meeting with a fabulous lactation consultant to ease any concerns about breastfeeding.
We are very frugal people, but her class was well worth the money and more! We'd recommend her to anybody!!
