Testimonials "I am so glad that we took the Bradley classes. We felt prepared and educated. Right afterwards I thought I was crazy for going all natural. At some point I cursed Summer’s name... :) Childbirth is the hardest thing I have ever done. I have run a marathon with a stress fracture in less than 4 hours, danced for days with blisters all over my feet, I practice yoga in 105 degree room, but THIS for sure was the most challenging. It is also the most rewarding, empowering, amazing thing! I have finally crossed over into the secret world of Motherhood. It is magical like entering the wardrobe in the Chronicles of Narnia! I am so thankful Remington entered this world like he did! --Anna Newth " "The birth process was a pretty crazy and intense experience. The Bradley method classed definitely helped. ..In the end everything came out perfect. The advice I have for other Bradley method fathers is pretty simple. The most important thing I think to keep in mind through the experience is the ultimate goal of healthy baby healthy momma. Be flexible with your birth plan and your ideal delivery. You will have some non negotiables and so will your doctors and nurses. Sometimes you may find that if you compromise with your birth team things may go better than if you don’t. Don’t sweat any of the small details too much and just always keep in mind the ultimate goal of healthy baby healthy mom. The Bradley method classes help you to make informed decisions during the heat of battle and even if they are not what you planned you will feel good that you made to best decision at that time. When your new baby is in your arms nothing else will matter. --Randy Newth" "For all your love and support, Thank you! You have been so wonderful...always patient, always so throurough! You gave us a great gift, all the education and knowledge. We now have a beautiful baby boy! Mostly we feel confident as parents! Thank you! Much love, Anna, Randy and Remy Newth"
"I don't think there's any way we would have achieved the birth we wanted without the Bradley classes taught by Summer. The education was vital, and Summer brings so much to the table when she teaches. Her enthusiasm, accessibility for questions, and the extra knowledge she contributes from her own passions and expertise are a fantastic supplement to the solid foundation of the curriculum. Thanks again, Summer! Eric, Susan, and Eliana Simon
"Summer & Casey,
Thank you so much for a fabulous class. We feel so fortunate that we were able to take a Bradley class with you. We did not do a natural birth with our first child but are SO glad we did with our 2nd. We only wish we had known sooner what Bradley could have done for us! We always looked forward to coming to your class and enjoyed every minute of it. You are truly gifted and we are so glad you shared that gift with us. Thank you for helping us have such an empowering birth experience.
"We heard about the Bradley Method from a book (Husband Coached Childbirth) that I randomly picked up one day when we were shopping. This book changed how we veiwed childbirth. We were moving to Kansas at the later part of my pregnancy, so we quickly found a Bradley Method instructor online. We were happy with choosing Summer, after reading the testimonials already posted on her site. After going to the first class, we were so pumped! There was so much information we had overlooked with our first child that was so important in our decision making. It doesn't matter how many children you currently have, you need this class!! We had a super sucessful homebirth, and I think these classes totally prepared us for it! Thanks, Marla Myers"
"We learned more than we could have ever imagined about pregnancy and the labor and birth process. Every week we went away from class feeling so encouraged and looking forward to natural birth more and more. You played an integral role in making our birth experience a joy!
"Taking your class is one of the best things any parent-to-be can do for themselves and their unborn baby. The knowledge you impart empowers moms and dads to feel confident in their decisions and choices during pregnancy, labor and delivery. Thanks so, so much for everything!
Read the Gillespie's Birth Story "You bring so much joy, excitement and love to this whole process. Class was one of the highlights of our pregnancy and really helped us prepare for and experience the birth we wanted. Your support post-partum was also a life-saver! We can't wait for our reunion!"
Read the Hellige's Birth Story "Summer, your guidance, personal experience and knowledge were instrumental in the birth of our first child. We didn't realize how beneficial your class was until actually experiencing a natural birth. We learned so much and can't thank you enough.

Read the O'Connor's Birth Story "Summer and Casey,
Every week we would drive home from class growing more confident and more excited to have a natural childbirth. The classes reaffirmed that it was best for the baby. Thank you for personalizing the classes to fit our group – we really enjoyed having the group dynamic as an avenue for great discussions. We were kinda sad when the classes were finished because they were something we had looked forward to each week! Natalie’s birth was everything we had hoped for. We were ready for the labor when my water broke unexpectedly early, and knew exactly what my body was doing at each stage. When my labor “puttered” in the beginning, we knew the techniques that would progress it safely and naturally. Thanks for taking our phone call and encouraging us to trust the process. It worked! Kelly was so prepared and he was a fantastic coach. I truly could not have done it without him guiding me through every step; the coach’s role is essential to a happy labor! Thank you for all of the postpartum support and your amazing willingness to share your personal experiences. You two are wonderful people and awesome parents! We have learned so much from you. We look forward to using the Bradley Method with our future children and hope that our families keep in touch! Kelly, Julie, and Natalie Kearney" Read the Kearney's Birth Story "Dear Summer & Casey,
Thank you so much for a wonderful 12 weeks, taking our call in the middle of the night when I was in labor, and all of the helpful postpartum support. We are looking forward to having more Bradley babes in the future! Love, Read the McLaughlin's Birth Story "We really appreciated both Casey & Summer teaching the class. We liked having both opinions on birth & labor. It was great getting Casey's thoughts on his experience. The class was always positive & informative. We always left feeling confident about giving birth naturally. "Summer & Casey - Thank you so much for your help over the last several months! Sean and I really enjoyed taking the classes with you, especially in the comfort of your own home. We have become closer as a couple through this experience, and I'm sure in large part because we prepared ourselves for our son's birth with your class. Finn's birth was an amazing experience, and we were well prepared for every step along the way - we knew what to look for, what was coming next, and how to make decisions when we had to. Although we ended up with a c-section, we came to that decision well informed and with plenty of time to know we were making the right choice. Your advice and help throughout the pregnancy, labor, and now postpartum has been an immense help. We can't thank you enough for being such wonderful teachers. Thank you! Amy, Sean & Finn Slattery!" "Summer and Casey, Brandi, Greg, and Shoshana!" "Thank you also for your help in helping us to have a natural childbirth. The classes were amazing – all that we learned about childbirth and the labor process ultimately helped in preparing us for what’s coming. I think probably the best was how available you were when we finally did go into labor. Much love, "Summer & Casey, |
