Going natural was very important to us, and without Ursula's support, we don't know if it would have been possible.  Her kindness, sense of humor, no-nonsense attitude, and profound knowledge of the birth process were a tremendous source of strength for us before, during, and after our daughter's birth.  She's fantastic! Lenny Bankester and Bonnie Robinson

"We met Ursula through her Bradley classes and felt those classes gave us a real insight into the birth process that no book could.  In talking with other expectant moms I realized how much we had learned and knew that other moms simply didn't.  Further, my husband felt really involved in the process in a way that other men we spoke to just weren't.  We felt prepared for a natural childbirth.  We were also fortunate enough to have Ursula attend both our sons' births as a doula.  In two very different experiences she was supportive, strong and knew how to help us have a wonderful natural delivery.  Best of all - she was funny and warm which really eased my anxiety about the experience.  No matter what the situation, we felt like we could rely on her for guidance and support.  We cannot recommend her highly enough as a teacher and doula."  Felicity McGrath and Skip White.

"If it were not for Ursula's care, participation, and commitment, our son Asher's birth may not have been so richly rewarding!  She thoroughly prepared us for our birthing journey, effortlessly guiding us through each step, both physically and emotionally.  Ursula is, first and foremost, sincere in what she does.  Immediately, she understood our demands and her uncanny ability to coach is to be commended.  We decided to work with her somewhat late in my pregnancy but instantly, we knew we had chosen the right person.  Ursula offers solid and unwavering support from start to end and we will never forget her part in our big day.  We were so blessed to have found her!"  Sassha, John and Asher Brunski 

“Ursula's Bradley Birthing classes were everything that we wanted in a class that was preparing us for the biggest event of our lives.  She gave the information to guide us through all the options and possibilities without overwhelming us.  Stories and anecdotes that made it feel "doable" to first time parents-to-be. And a fun, interactive, and warm atmosphere to boot!  We both loved Ursula's teaching style and felt that the combination of the labor practice and information helped us to achieve the natural birthing experience that we were hoping to have.”   Monica and Steve Silvestro

“We can't overstate the favorable impact Ursula's class had our preparations for our daughter's birth.  The circumstances of her arrival would have been completely different otherwise. Thanks to Ursula's thoughtfully designed and presented class, and most especially her commitment to her clients and willingness to share her time and expertise with us, our pregnancy and birth preparations couldn't have been better. 

Our class also left us extremely well prepared for labor and birth. At some point midway through our pregnancy, we spoke with a colleague who just had a baby, and he remarked on several things that had taken him and his wife by surprise in the first few weeks after getting home.  "It would have been so much easier if somebody had told us to expect this, which they could have easily done!"  We're grateful to say that thanks to Ursula's class we could anticipate the most substantial difficulties and were prepared to handle them.

The tuition for the class was the best investment we ever made”. dbtm & rab

“What an unbelievable birth experience. I've never felt so powerful, and David and I have never felt so close.  We would not have been able to do this without your help, Ursula. Taking your class falls under the category of best decisions we could have made. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”  Mariam, David, and Juliet

 “We could not have asked for a more informative, supportive, and professional Bradley instructor and birth assistant. Ursula's class was tremendously useful in helping us learn techniques and conquer our (my!) fear of the birth process. As a birth assistant, Ursula was just what we wanted -- competent, confident, warm and reliable. We've hired Ursula to be our doula for Baby #2. Enough said!”  Katie and Andrew Herman

“We can’t imagine having a birth without this class.  You learn about the whole birth process and what choices you need to make as a couple.  We were also prepared for every contingency.  Although I had hoped for a natural birth, we ended up with a c-section.  There were no surprises!   Ursula is very thorough!”   Amy Schoen and Alan Rotnemer 

“Thank you for empowering me with the knowledge to make this experience mine!  Learning from you exceeded all expectations.  Thanks.”  Kyra Brutsman

“Great class!  So many people who took Lamaze said it was not worth it.  I can’t imagine not having this education.”  Margo Sweeney and Mark Landers 

“At first I felt like my wife was dragging me to class, but I have learned so much and enjoyed class each week.  I looked forward to coming.”  Pat and Alcee Malpass 

“The instructor was very respectful for everyone’s interests and handled everyone’s individual opinions with objectivity and respect.”  Jill and Joe Fukushima

“At first my husband was skeptical about childbirth classes and Bradley but after the first session he was completely involved and committed to the Bradley philosophy.  He requested we take Ursula's refresher to prepare for our second child.”  Joe and Judy Musa
