References from students who have
taken the class are available upon request. Below are quotes
from some of our students.
"On
the way to our first class my husband asked me what could
we possibly learn and talk about for two and a half hours
each week for twelve weeks and I responded that we should
try it out and if we didn't like it then we wouldn't come
back. Within an hour we were hooked and found ourselves looking
forward to it so much each week; we were completely hooked.
Now we look back and know that our classes gave us incredible
confidence and knowledge and that without it we most likely
would have ended up with a second c-section, instead we had
an unbelievably beautiful home birth after a previous c-section.
Thanks again!" - Melanie, mom to Caroline, born
8/29/09
"I really enjoyed
the class and it truly made a great difference during my pregnancy
and giving birth. Taking the classes allowed me to be completely
prepared and aware of my options. Also, the class helped to
eliminate the fear of my body not being able to give birth,
and allowed me to know how to eat well." -Shemida,
mom to Sarah, born 5/26/09
"The Bradley Method classes were
vital to my preparation as a coach. I was aware of so many
things that enabled me to speak for Shemida when she was unable
to speak for herself, as well as proper knowledge of all procedures
that were taking place in the birth room." -
Wilbert, dad to Sarah, born 5/26/09
"Melissa, I can't thank you enough
for all the knowledge and information you gave us. If it wasn't
for you, I'm sure that I would not have been equipped to make
the choices I made in order to have my ideal birth. It was
the most amazing experience, and I will always have these
memories - I know that we've done everything we can to give
our best to our baby Eleanor. Thank you again!"
- Sarah, mom to Eleanor, born 5/14/09
"We have said numerous times and
on separate occasions how very different my pregnancy and
our daughter's birth would have been without all the knowledge
and guidance provided to us by Melissa & Scott. We read
2 of the Bradley Method books as we were attending their class
and Melissa & Scott provided so much more depth and real
life experience to the material than any book could. Knowledge
is truly power and the Taylors empowered us to make the decisions
that ultimately led to the natural, intervention-free birth
of our daughter. There is no greater gift!"
- Rachel, mom to Katie, born 5/10/09
"We went in afraid, after the
end of class, we were throwing out terms and very confident
of the process. Melissa did a great job as a Bradley Method
instructor! We loved her!" - Mary, mom to Jasmine,
born 1/26/09
"I'm very glad I took the
class. I felt so much more prepared and confident by the end
of class. I think every first-time parents to be should take
the class regardless of whether they plan a natural birth
or not." - Wesley, dad to Jasmine, born 1/26/09
"You have been a
blessing for our family. Without the information that we learned
from you, I do not think we would have been able to accomplish
our ideal birth. I will recommend you to every pregnant woman
I meet.” - Linda, mom to Liam, born 8/8/08
"Melissa and Scott,
thank you for educating us about natural birth and the process.
We felt supported and empowered." - Michelle,
mom to Trenton, born 7/25/08
"Thank you so much
for the class. It really prepared me to have the exact birth
I wanted!" - April, mom to Nicholas, born 8/3/08
"I'm very thankful
for taking the class. I never would have been able to be a
good coach without it. The class was very informative and
the whole class was very supportive." - Max,
dad to Anthony, born 6/29/09
"We were able to
have the safe and unmedicated birth we wanted because of this
class and the Taylor’s encouragement. The nutrition,
relaxation practice and overall knowledge of the labor process
were so helpful to us. During my labor, I felt very informed
about what my body was doing. We really enjoyed
talking to other expecting couples and returning students
in class. We have also learned to be more educated consumers.
I have already recommended Melissa and the Bradley Method
and will continue to do so. I can’t say enough about
how appreciative we are." - Megan,
mom to Ian, born 7/9/08
"Thanks a million!
I will recomend your class to all expecting mothers."
- Laura, mom to Alivia, born 1/15/08
"I feel I was extremely
well prepared [for the birth of my child] and calmer than
I otherwise would have been. I felt in control and I knew
what to expect." - Kristin, mom to Zachary,
born 1/5/08
"[The Bradley Method
was] extremely important and necessary in my preparation,
I would not have known what to do without the training and
information these classes offered. [I enjoyed] the group atmosphere,
friendly and welcoming attitude of our teacher(s).!"
– Rocky, dad to Liam, born 9/20/07
"We knew what to
expect during all of the stages [of labor] and were well informed
regarding hospital procedures. We used relaxation techniques
and laboring positions we learned in class. [I also liked]
meeting other couples going through the same life phase."
- Charis, mom to Colt, born 7/1/07
"Melissa, I want
to thank you and Scott for everything you have taught me in
class. You have opened my eyes to viewpoints and options that
I didn’t even know existed. I now have the confidence
to deliver and raise Ty in the way that I feel is best. I
appreciate the objective and factual manner of the class and
also respect your opinions. I’m ready for Ty to come
– now I just have to wait for him!" –
Danielle, mom to Ty, born 4/30/07
"Thank you for preparing
us so well! We learned so much and we are so happy that we
were able to have a drug-free birth." - Elizabeth,
mom to Luke, born 4/10/07
"[After taking classes]
I felt completely knowledgeable and prepared. One of the main
reasons why I (and Owen) were able to endure such a long labor
was because I was so well prepared and because my nutrition
was top notch." - Dorothy, mom to Owen, born
4/8/07
"I really enjoyed
getting together with the other couples and hearing the same
woes of the week. The new information was great - how to write
a birth plan and talking it over with the instructors really
was helpful. I loved watching all the birth videos. Oh my
goodness, I wouldn’t have wanted to do it without the
classes!" – Tina, mom to Luke, born 2/23/07
“The class was unbelievable!
I think everyone who is expecting should take this class.
It’s incredibly informative and puts you at ease. Melissa
was wonderful, very knowledgeable and accessible. The class
is fun. We had a wonderful learning experience.”
– Peter & Ana, parents to Gabriel, born 12/22/06
“As a soon-to-be first time dad
coming into this class, I knew basically nothing about pregnancy
and birth. What I learned in this class has made me feel well-educated
on these topics. Now I feel very prepared for the birth of
my baby boy!” – Jonathan, dad to Chase,
born 11/3/06
“The classes prepared me much
better than I ever could have anticipated for the birth of
my son. I most enjoyed how close the classes kept my husband
and myself throughout our pregnancy. It helped us discuss
what was going on and what to expect much more than I feel
we would have been able to do otherwise.”
– Linda, mom to Chase, born 11/3/06
“When we first found out we were
pregnant we had far more questions than answers- being unsure
of almost everything was scary. Now that we’ve taken
Bradley classes, we know enough to give ourselves and our
baby the best possible chance for a healthy, unmedicated birth.
Thanks Melissa and Scott for all the answers.”
– David & Alyson, parents to Cole, born 11/2/06
