Jake and Rachel Hennemuth

“I just want to say thank you for everything. You were inspirational during the tough times, comforting during the challenging moments and a helpful hand at exactly the right times. As a man, you enlightened me and opened my eyes to a powerful, primal, beautiful experience that cannot truly be shared in words. Our daughter was blessed by having you with us through this magical experience.”
Matt Black

“I feel so fortunate to have met you.  Your work helping/allowing women to believe in themselves is surely one of the most important there is.  I am an admirer.”
Olivia DaPont

“Matt and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of the guidance, support and the vast wealth of information and resources that you provided us with. We were immensely helped along by the sense of confidence you gave us about our ability to have a natural birth. During the difficult moments, your words and the positive experiences of our classmates resonated in my mind and helped me to stay calm and focused. Several people commented about how alert and engaged the baby seemed so soon after his birth and we tell them that we really credit you and Bradley with giving us the tools we needed to have such a wonderful birth.”
Amie Kritzer

“Can you believe it?! We are good students I think. We learned & used 100% of your teachings—I don't know what would have occurred w/o having taken your course! Thank you. As I write this, I type w 1 hand on a sleeping sweet pea across my chest. She is the dearest thing in the world.”
Lucy Small and Sam Pollach

“We will miss our Sunday ritual! Thank you for such a meaningful and empowering experience.”
Brooke Rimland

“Essential to our sense of calm and focus was the fact that we hired the most excellent doula—Mary Esther! What, you may ask, would a doula do during a cesarean delivery? A great doula does just the perfect thing at every moment during a birth experience and Mary Esther was invaluable to us.”
