Bradley Method® Testimonials:
I used the Bradley Method when pregnant with my son about a year ago. I was hesitant at first because I wasn't sure that I wanted anyone in the room with me. He was my first baby so I was super nervous about everything. Amber is a great teacher and I am so thankful that I took her class! The Bradley Method® is very informative. You'll learn everything you need to know (even though every birth is different). Having my husband with me while in labor was the best thing ever! Just having that love and support right there was amazing! I don't think I could've done it without him. I also love the class because it doesn't sugar coat... It tells you how it's gonna be. It's not easy. But it is SO worth it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! I would recommend this class to everybody! It was amazing and definitely helped ease the nerves of having my first baby. I loved it! Lauren Johnson
[Amber Kensinger] Your passion for natural childbirth is inspiring. We feel very prepared and excited about the entire [birthing] process.
Before taking this class, we were nervous and overwhelmed. We now feel empowered and are ready to be parents! Thank you!! Sarah & JP Creekmore
I am so thankful that we took Bradley classes with Amber Kensinger! This was our first baby and she made me feel as prepared as I possibly could be. She went above & beyond by even making us an extra notebook full of helpful articles and information. She is truly passionate about helping others have healthy & natural births. I think the two most helpful things I learned were how/what to eat during pregnancy (lots of protein!) & the stages of labor. When I was in labor, I had the progression in mind and an idea of what to expect in each stage. I also had the privilege of having her doula for us, she was incredible and so supportive. Now, we are great friends! I definitely recommend this class! Mary Coria
Everything was very informative—stages of labor, nutrition, labor techniques, etc. I loved the sessions on the stages of labor.
I wouldn't have changed anything about the classes. It was amazing! Thanks for everything [Amber Kensinger]! Mary & Josh Coria
Class was perfect. Class 7, Planning Your Birth, truly got us organized. Our instructor was wonderful. She is truly passionate about her teachings. Thank you so much for all the information and guidance through our pregnancy! You [Amber Kensinger] are amazing! Carmen & Daniel Smith
Participating in this class really opened our eyes to a better, more natural way to give birth to a baby. I highly recommend it!
The material for this class was really informative and led me to seek out other resources to support this method. Amy & Jeff Briscoe
I was honestly a little hesitant going in because this was baby #2 for me, however I knew I wanted to do things differently than I did the first time.
I couldn't believe how much more I learned, even though I had done it once already! One of the first things I really liked was that Amber provided nutrition sheets and tons of nutrition information. It helped me track protein and water intake and keep up with what I was putting in my body for baby. (I wanted a big healthy baby and I sure got one!) She also went over lots of information with us as to what the standard protocol was for births and what Bradley recommended. That allowed my husband and I to customize the birth the way we wanted to...there were so many things that we had never thought of or didn't really realize that we could choose to not do..this empowered us to make choices we were most comfortable with...especially since I wanted a hospital birth. Finally and super important to me now, I feel like because of class and Amber's continued support,
I have been more successful with breastfeeding. I only made it to 3 months with my daughter. I am at 4 months and going strong this go around.
In so many ways, the class changed things about our daily lifestyle and health. We eat differently, and I have a different mindset when it comes to who I employ to take care of our health. I would just say we are much more conscious about the choices we are making for our family. I got to go into labor on my own, and I didn't have to have pitocin or anything that I was uncomfortable with... I had the confidence to do things on my own terms.
I can't say enough good things about the class. Plus, it was fun! Kristi Ross
Well my wife pretty much took all the good stuff I was going to say, so I'll just make it short and simple. We both got a ton out of Amber's class.
It'd be nearly impossible to find someone as energetic, devoted, and knowledgeable as Amber is about her class. We had a lot of fun and made some good friends with some great people. Most importantly to us, we became better parents and knew exactly what we wanted this go around and dare I say it we had fun during labor. Way less anxiety during labor this time because as you know, knowledge is power, and Amber equipped us with that knowledge. Josh Ross (Kristi's husband)
Amber taught us a lot about Bradley® natural child birth and our experience with Amber's class was an amazing one! We were the only couple in our class and we loved it. We got more one-on-one time and she answered all of our questions and then some! Thank you Amber Kensinger for all that you taught us! Josh Pryor
As someone who is finishing up a series. I would like to say I feel that it has helped me a lot! Well worth it. Sydney Chapman
I learned so much from Amber's class and it definitely prepared me and my husband for our natural pregnancy and delivery. I highly recommend! Caity Craddock
We loved out Bradley classes especially to support the husband and encourage his role. Also a great spread of information ranging from breastfeeding, labor positions, and communication. Jessica Oren
Having natural childbirth was such a special experience. I enjoyed the one-on-one time with my husband, working together for a good purpose.
I feel it strengthened our relationship. I was able to bond and breastfeed right after the birth. I have connected well with my baby. Laura
The Bradley Method® was a major part in my discovery of what the best birth can, should be—natural. For my family
it has equipped us to give birth without drugs. Which allowed for a natural, nurturing, healthy start. Marcile
It gave us 3 beautiful and healthy children and, initially, helped my husband get excited and involved in the whole pregnancy
and birth process. It also helped us set up, from the get-go, a healthy natural way of life for our children. Echo
It gave us the opportunity to experience God’s miracle the way he intended. The feelings that were nurtured as my husband coached
me through the most difficult and rewarding moment of our lives have been strengthened beyond our expectations. Alyssa
It gave us a great start to life as a new family. We were so pleased with our birth experience
and give The Bradley Method® all the credit for a great education! Emily
Empowered us to deliver our baby in the way we had dreamt it to be. It connected us with wonderful friends at the same
stage of life, educated us and allowed my husband and I to bond in preparation, delivery, and rearing him up. Krista
Wow – this is huge!
1. Gave me tons of confidence as a mom.
2. Got breastfeeding off to a great start.
3. Started me off as a parent doing research into my decisions.

I can't believe what a difference The Bradley Method® classes made for me!" Anonymous
After taking The Bradley Method® classes, I had a totally natural birth, a strong
healthy baby boy, and I felt absolutely wonderful afterward! It changed my life! Anonymous
I'd never give birth any other way! Anonymous
People told us we shouldn't try to have a natural birth with our first baby --
'find out what it's like first,' they'd say. But we decided we'd get it right the first time. Anonymous
I loved it too. I did the classes with my last pregnancy . This time I'm just reading the book and following everything I did last time. I liked the classes because they really got my DH involved and he/we learned so much. I really feel that learning everything I did helped me have the NCB I wanted. Also the relaxation execises feel so nice at the end of the day. Katie
