I had the pleasure of working with Rhonda as our Doula for the birth of our second baby boy! My first birth experience was quite traumatic and included lots of medical intervention with Pitocin and an epidural followed by a brutally long labor! Despite this, when it came time to having our second, I felt like we knew the ropes and would be fine just to have a baby like before. It was actually at the insistence of my husband who felt like he wanted more support in supporting me that we asked Rhonda pretty late in the game to be that support. Boy am I glad we did! I had no idea how amazing of an experience giving birth could be! Rhonda did so much from creating the perfect atmosphere to making suggestions throughout the labor process to help it go even smoother. Right at the finish line, she really stepped in as the coach when we needed her! She was everything we wanted and needed even when we didn’t know what we wanted or needed. The idea of birth was completely transformed from a tortuous thing that happened to me into a beautiful and empowering moment that I DID! I already think fondly about the birth of a potential third baby, and there is no chance I’m doing it without Rhonda!

I felt the Bradley Method helped us achieve the pregnancy and labor that we wanted.

I believe the concentration on getting the coach in tune with the mother is what saved me and my son’s life. I went into preterm labor at 25 weeks and my husband picked it up right away, even before I did.

It also gave us time to think outside of the box and think about things that we may have never considered.

Everything was really helpful! I liked learning how to distinguish the signs of different stages of labor, practicing laboring and pushing positions, reviewing the same concepts multiple times and hearing other people's birth stories, questions and concerns.

The class demonstrations helped clear up questions about form. Along with the exercises, the demonstrations of the birthing positions were very beneficial. The explanation of each stage of labor was also essential for our successful natural child birth. We felt Rhonda did an excellent job covering and reviewing this. The questions in the homework helped refresh the material. We found that we were pretty knowledgeable as to how labor was progressing and what to expect.

We feel so prepared and empowered to bring baby into this world. We are forever grateful!

We cannot thank you enough for your wisdom and guidance throughout pregnancy AND labor & delivery! Your class helped prepare both of us for the long & crazy labor. Having you there in the final hours was a breath of fresh air (and omg the essential oils!! 🙂).

We learned so much from your Bradley classes and really enjoyed your perspective and experience. My husband learned so much from the class and was so amazing during my labor that the nurses dubbed him "Doula Dan." Even though our birthing experience was not what we had planned for (as our little man had the cord around his neck x2 requiring an emergency C-section after a long labor) I felt that every decision was ours. You empowered us to ask the right questions during those difficult moments. We are so thankful that you were part of our story.

We took The Bradley Method class series with Rhonda in preparation for the birth of our twins. Rhonda came highly recommended to us, and she did not disappoint. The classes were very engaging, informative, and fun! We particularly liked "birthing" the ping pong ball from the balloon. She is very skilled at communicating a lot of information at once without it feeling too overwhelming. She also shared a ton of stories and examples from her own births as well as from her work as a doula of things to be aware of based on real life experience, which was invaluable. We learned a ton and by the end of the class series we felt empowered and prepared to go through the birthing process. Rhonda is also incredibly caring and kind, and encouraged us to contact her with any questions or advice outside of class that she might be able to help with. It's obvious that she genuinely cares about her students and looks forward to hearing about their births. We had a wonderful experience all around!

We are so grateful for Rhonda! She was both our Bradley instructor and our doula and we could not imagine preparing for birth, going through labor, and adjusting to life with our newborn without her! Rhonda is an impeccable communicator, an effective instructor, and a caring friend. She answered countless questions, helped us thoroughly understand what to expect every step of the way, and empowered us to make decisions, ask lots of questions, and form healthy relationships with our care team. We are grateful to have her as our Bradley instructor and assistant coach (as our doula), and we will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future if/when we have another child! We heartily recommend her and know that she will be an integral and supportive part of anyone’s birthing team.

Recommendation of a friend.

Recommendation of a colleague.

My husband stated he didn’t feel involved in the pregnancy.

Because I wanted to have an unmedicated birth and I'd heard great things from friends.

The length and depth of the information to work towards an unmedicated vaginal childbirth.

Aiming for a natural birth experience and to learn overall about birthing process in general.

I wanted my husband and I to feel confident that we had prepared best we could for going through labor unmedicated and with the least amount of intervention.
