It looks like Sean is ahead of me:

this(Object o);
Initializes a mutex object and sets it as the monitor for o.

So my example would look like:
---
synchronized class Example {
private:
   Condition _condition;
public
   this() {
       auto lock = new Mutex(this);
       _condition = new Condition(lock);
   }
   void methodA() {
       // do some stuff
       while(someTest)
           _condition.wait();
   }
   void methodB() {
       //do some stuff
       _condition.notifyAll();
   }
}
