Testimonial for Susan Rotman, AAHCC, CD(DONA)
Because of Susan, I had the confidence to have the beautiful, unmedicated, vaginal childbirth experience that I wanted. She exudes passion for helping couples welcome their babies naturally into this world, and she is a treasure trove of knowledge. Attending her classes, hiring her to be our doula, and having her encapsulate my placenta were some of the most important investments and decisions my husband and I could ever make! I learned so much through her Bradley method classes, and I also loved being able to share that experience each week with my husband. As a bonus, it was great to meet other couples experiencing the same life changes, and to learn alongside one another in such a supportive, inviting setting. It was such a comfort to know we could talk to Susan whenever we had questions or just needed reassurance before our son was born. I strongly believe that my post-natal recovery went so well (I had zero tearing!) because of what Susan taught us about perineal massage so that we could perform this nightly the few weeks leading up to birth. Also, I think that my placenta pills that Susan encapsulated were the main reasons I had no post-partum depreesion (even though I have a history of anxiety, depression and PTSD). I can't imagine how my birth experience would have been without Susan — nor do I want to — and I want every expectant mom to have her as birth support. She is just wonderful!
