Jen, Barry, Maya and Little Noah
Just wanted to let you know that it was because of your Bradley Class that Barry and I felt, "informed, prepared and knew that we had
choices and could be part of the decision making process in staying healthy and safe." Our two beautiful healthy children, born naturally/drug free, in a hospital, are a testimony to the knowledge that you and Erich provided us. Thank you so much. We now recommend Bradley classes to all of our pregnant friends.
Tiffany & Nate
Nate and I would like to thank you and Erich very much for all your information and advice. Nate and I came into this process, literally knowing nothing, and the both of you gave us the insight, knowledge, power and confidence to have the birth that we would like to have. Of course, we have no idea what the future holds in front of us and our birth, but we feel so confident that we can handle whatever lies ahead. Thank you for remaining balanced, fair, and above all, for being such great listeners. The advice was priceless. We look forward to sharing our news with you when the “big” day comes. For now, I’ll keep pelvic rocking, squatting, and practicing my relaxation techniques. We are looking forward to our birth and both of you made that possible.
Freya & Baby Livia
You have no idea how important you have been to me as a teacher and friend from my pregnancy, through the birth of my child... and hopefully in the future. Your natural, peaceful approach encouraged me to stick to what I knew in my gut was the right way to do things for me and my baby - despite some naysayers. Your class the night before I had her helped me focus so much!!!
Beth, Baby Ella & Baby Cole
... thank you... for all of the support you have given me throughout my pregnancy. I have really enjoyed coming to your class and have learned a lot about how to maintain my body while two little ones are growing inside me...
Kari, John & Baby Alice
The Bradley method class is an invaluable tool to prepare for childbirth and beyond!
Karen, Scott & Baby Madison
The Prenatal Yoga classes were THE BEST. There were many advantages: It helped me de-stress and relax.. It helped me connect with my baby and body.. It gave me an internal peace... It refreshed me and energized me
The Bradley Class taught me the following: That no matter what type of birth I had, I was in control... It made me realize how important bonding with your baby (from the first second) is and that you have the right to do this and ask for this... It helped us see the bigger picture of natural childbirth.
Thank you for your kind words, all of your help throughout my pregnancy and your support. I truly believe that Madison's incredible, easy going nature has a lot to do with all of the yoga and introspection, the non-stressful environment created and the happiness I felt throughout the entire pregnancy experience. We are truly blessed with this angel!!!
Nicola, Andrew & Baby Olivia
The Bradley method helped prepare me for a healthy pregnancy (nutrition etc.) and to cope with the pain of a natural labor. Although I ended up needing a c-section, the techniques we learned also helped to cope with the discomforts of surgery.
Pre-natal yoga was the most worthwhile thing I did this year (besides having my baby!). The benefits are tremendous, especially in conjunction with the Bradley classes. The exercises prepare you for labor, keep you fit and with good posture. Michelle's calming meditations encourage relaxation and celebrate being pregnant. She is so attuned to her class that she gages the exercises based on our moods. It is also a nice way to bond with other pregnant women.
Kri, Chris & Baby Julia
Bradley and Prenatal Yoga helped to stay focused during pregancy.
Sivan, Asaf and Baby Nina
Yoga class has significantly helped me with stress management. Having been so calm and focused resulted in a great natural labor and birth.
Carrie, Ed & Baby Grayce
Prenatal yoga helped me stay focused, relaxed and kept the mind-body connection strong. It was wonderful to be able to go two to three times per week and know I was doing good for me and my baby!
Lisa & Baby Tristan
The Bradley Method® helped me have a successful VBAC. I had more confidence in myself and my intuition. I used the techniques discussed in Bradley and knew that I had the choice to decline medications.
Louisa & Baby Anna
I had a very joyful and healthy pregnancy. Thanks to your prenatal yoga classes, I was in good shape, great spirits and had an easy labor and delivery.
I truly believe that those wonderful sessions made a big difference in my pregnancy and my overall outlook on motherhood.
I have been raving about Michelle's classes to everybody I know.
Thanks Michelle, from the bottom of my heart.
Sal, Steve & Baby Luca
A very big endless thank you to you for teaching us The Bradley Method® and for providing us with the confidence and resources to approach our birth with the values and attitudes that are so valuable and important to us! Thank you also for being a wonderful support structure...
Lore, Michael & Baby Benjamin
Michelle's Bradley class was a great preparation for the natural birth of our first son, Benjamin. We both felt that Michelle and Erich provided us with all the information and emotional support that we needed in order to make good decisions about our birth plan and to feel happy and relaxed about the upcoming birth. We highly recommend this class to anybody who wants to learn as much as possible about the birthing process and who is trying to achieve a natural birth.
Begonia, Rick & Baby Patrick
First of all, we'd like to thank you for everything. For presenting so much crucial information in a very direct and egalitarian way, for your sincere interest in all of our pregnancies and concerns... we really appreciated this... because you revealed a lot of the strong emotions and uncertainties surrounding your pregnancy and its aftermath. The information you've given us, the exercises you've shown in pre-natal yoga, and the chance to meet with other people in the same boat as us have all helped us a lot. We couldn't have gotten this far without the boost in confidence you've given us.
Tosha, Mike & Baby Liam
Wow! I haven't fully processed yet, but I do want to say that I am very happy that I heard about the Bradley method and I am so glad that I met you. I've learned so much from you and you are constantly willing and wanting to share more knowledge and support. Thank you! At the end of the day (or maybe 2) it's going to be a beautiful baby and that's what my focus is on and it's going to help me through everything else. ...Thanks again for taking the time for another "gentle reminder". You're the best!
Aisling, Rick & Baby Maggie
A special thank you to Michelle and Erich Wenis (from our Bradley Birth Class in Danbury) for all their enthusiastic coaching and caring advice--you guys were great!
Sarah, Mike & Baby Rachel
We did it! Wow, I must believe that there was some fate involved ...so that you would be able to help guide Sarah and I through Bradley and safely through the drug free natural birth of our beautiful baby girl. Thank you
Karen, Wayne and Baby Lindsay
I
did everything I learned in Bradley and it was an incredible
success -- and not too difficult, to boot!!
