Testimonial for Susan Rotman, AAHCC, CD(DONA)
My husband Alex and I had the joy of having Susan as both our Bradley instructor and our doula for the arrival of our first child (a boy!) in September 2016. We found her class to be full of practical knowledge and so empowering as a couple with the goal of an unmedicated birth.
When our labor started on a Friday evening, Susan was with us every step of the way. We felt comforted knowing that she would answer any question we had and guide us when we had a decision to make. As the laboring mom, I was truly able to focus on what I had to do, my breathing and having a good mindset as I knew Alex was in contact with Susan constantly. The arrival of our little one was a little longer than normal-45 hours!-and Susan met us at the birth center multiple times. When it was finally "go" time, she was the perfect liason between the staff and us. It allowed Alex to support me full-time. Susan was an incredible support, providing helpful massages, essential oils and many other things before we even had to ask. Her experience was invaluable and having her as part of our team allowed us to welcome our little one into the world in the best way possible.
Alex and I originally went back and forth on whether to opt for a doula. We are SO glad that we did as it was the best investment we could have made in the beginning of our son's life. Susan is compassionate and knowledgeable and I cannot recommend her services enough.
