Testimonial for Susan Rotman, AAHCC, CD(DONA)
I was weary about needing a doula when Ashley first mentioned it to me but after learning more about the entire birth process in Susan’s Bradley classes I was convinced there was a need. Any help I could get to help me in the moment and keep Ashley in a positive thought process progressing in a manner that would help achieve our goal with zero interventions and a natural and health birth for our soon to be child.
Susan was a key component in helping me time when to arrive at the birth center which made sure we were not turned away with the hour drive we had.
During the birth Susan helped with so many things that I would have forgot in the moment from water, food (going and getting a shake to keep Ashley fed!), keeping Ashley and I relaxed, moving to new positions, breathing, and so much more. During the 20 hours of labor there were so many moving parts to make sure we achieved the end result we wanted it was extremely helpful having a person there to advocate for us even amongst the midwives.
Even after the birth and once we made it home Susan continued to help with food, to jam, to even the continued encouragement was priceless.
Thank you Susan for everything and helping welcome our 10 pound 4 oz Addison K to the world.
