Testimonials... Yolanda's Bradley Class perfectly guided me through my pregnancy and labor. From Yolanda I learned things about childbirth that I never would have thought to ask on my own, and my husband was a wonderful coach thanks to what we learned in her class.Yolanda's wonderful personality and passion for the process of childbirth are inspiring. -- Kelly Snelson Yolanda is a wealth of knowledge and resources. Her personal birth experiences and hands-on involvement with other births add such valuable insight to the class. Though I ended up with a breech baby and a c-section, I had tremendous comfort in the months leading up to the birth that I was well-informed and well-prepared for virtually any birth scenario. To me, the Bradley method is an all-encompassing approach to preparing for birth, both physically and mentally. It's an education in all facets of labor and delivery, and I like that it promotes understanding and embracing the natural events of childbirth. I also like that it promotes nutrition and health for mom and baby well before the actual birth. Yolanda's class thoroughly prepared me for a natural childbirth, as well as other necessary medical interventions. But the thing that I appreciate the most about Yolanda is that she truly cares about her Bradley students, and she provides comforting advice and help in any way that she can.
Yolanda offers a unique childbirth education experience. My husband and I loved coming to class each week. We drove 45 minutes each way to make it there and it was worth every minute. She invited us into her home like we were family. We had the chance to build relationships with her and the other class members. When you go to class at Yolanda’s house, you sit back, take off your shoes, and relax while munching on popcorn or warm bread. Then she showers you with helpful information, funny stories, and great opportunities to ask questions and ponder the crazy and exciting journey that is pregnancy and birth. I am a licensed midwife and a registered nurse. My husband and I attended class to learn more about relaxation and to help me get into a “mommy mindset” instead of always thinking about things as the clinician. I enjoyed learning from Yolanda because she has an excellent clinical knowledge base, a large basis of personal experience, and the humor and wit necessary to deliver it all in an enjoyable package. Yolanda is the kind of person who is always happy to take a few extra minutes to explain something. She is kind and supportive. When I labored with my son for 30 hours before his birth, I can truly say I used the techniques I practiced with Yolanda. Regardless of how you labor or birth your baby, Yolanda’s classes will help you to remember what is important to focus on and how to be healthy and happy overall. At the end of the class you walk away with a basket full of ideas and new techniques for relaxation and coping with stress. My husband and I will be sure to visit Yolanda again when it’s time for our next baby too. Thanks for everything Yolanda.
