What Families Say
I took The Bradley Method classes with Susan Jesse and I loved it. Susan is so charismatic, animated and hilarious that the classes were never boring. I learned a lot even though this was my 4th child. I was able to implement The Bradley Method and had a natural home/water birth. I would recommend every woman take her classes. Also, Susan also gives the best hugs EVER!! She's so awesome

I had the privlege of taking Susan's Bradley Method classes as well as having her be my doula for my hospital birth. The entire birthing experience and process was enriched by having the support and presence of this amazing woman. Duirng my ~26 hour labor, she never left my side and went above and beyond my expectations of what I thought a doula would be. I feel truly blessed to have met Susan and would highly reccomend her to anyone considering the Bradley method or in need of a doula. You will not be disappointed.
