Testimonials

The moment I realised how useful this course really was at the hospital, when the doctor arrived and (before reading our birth plan) starts to tell us how he usually expects a woman’s labour to progress. I couldn’t help but think to myself, my god if I hadn’t taken those classes we’d just be sitting there accepting all the crap that he was saying. We would have been screwed. Also that counter-pressure and hip squeeze, what a relationship saver, I was able to help! (Kirk)

Favourite parts: emotional signposts for the stages of labour, Labour rehearsal (originally dreaded), Preparation for possible events with different potential options, and of course those great treats! You were the first person we wanted to tell and thank for everything. We felt really prepared and we have you to thank for it. (Karine)

The class was very helpful in helping me understand the value of my presence throughout pregnancy and childbirth. The hands-on experience was excellent, learning different techniques that I ended up using to help keep the situation calm. I give the course a 10/10 for that. (Samuel )

I found I used the knowledge that I learned in Bradley® course at every stage during pregnancy, and labour care. The Bradley® knowledge allowed me to effectively deal with all the issues that came about late in pregnancy and during the labour. The Bradley® course gave me all the knowledge to make an informed choice. (Kevin)

I really liked looking at the birth from a consumer perspective rather than the caregiver perspective (interventions) and most importantly this class forced us to look at and discuss our birth over and over again so we were really on the same page when the time came. I also liked the birth practice because we both were really comfortable with what to do (which was good, the nurse and doctors left us alone for most of the pushing stage and we didn't feel we needed them there). (John)

Our birth story is crazy! Thank goodness for your classes. We managed to make it through naturally (even to my midwife's surprise). I truly believe that it's the time you take before the birth on prenatal preparations that helps you get through the labour. So many people do quick weekend courses and I think if we had done that we wouldn't be anywhere near as prepared or confident as we were...even when it got tough. (Jenny)

My partner was easily as impressive as the very best videos we saw and made coaching a breeze. It was an incredible honour to see her do it so well. She said she doesn't know how she could have coped without relaxation techniques, which for her consisted mainly of just letting go of tension in her face and arms and breathing from her abdomen. We want to thank you for both the training that made it possible and for joining us for the birth itself. Your presence made us very comfortable and confident so that we could do what we planned to do. Amazing stuff those Bradley® techniques. (Pierre)

We don’t know how we could even begin to thank you for everything you did for us to help us prepare for our son’s birth. The whole experience was the absolute best we could have imagined and we appreciate you being there with us through it all. (Kelly)

Thank you for all of your help and your precious advice. We enjoyed class. Even though D was not born naturally, we benefited from class and felt very prepared for the big day. Thank you for your support through it all. (Chantal)

We would like to express our deepest gratitude for your coaching and guidance during the past three months. The Bradley method®, as well as your personal encouragement and knowledge, are central to how well our delivery went (against all odds!). Thanks for getting this next chapter of our lives off to such an amazing start. (Rob and Melissa)

We wanted to thank you so much for this fantastic course. You go well beyond what’s expected and as we said before, we think you are perfect for this class! We feel relaxed, prepared and involved in this huge event in our lives and are glad to have you involved as well. (Jean and Lou)

How can we ever begin to thank you for all of your amazing and generous help during our long, difficult labour? Your encouragement and patience will never be forgotten…you will always be a special part of the most incredible day of our lives! You are amazing and we are so thankful that you were there. (Denise and Joel)
