"....At first I was kind of 'yeah, right' on the whole natural thing. But after going through the classes I realized that it actually made sense. We would have taken the birthing classes offered by the hospital and been none the wiser." - Heather, Mom to Austin 

I've been teaching families about physiological birth via classes in The Bradley Method ®  for over 12 years. 

Through my classes, I've had the honor of supporting hundreds of families as they labor and birth. 

I have a BS in Human Environmental Sciences but childbirth is my passion. 

The Bradley Method ®  first entered my life when I was just ten years old: I watched in awe as my mother, using The Bradley Method ®,  gracefully gave birth to my baby sister in a triumphant VBAC at home. Years later, after taking Bradley classes myself, I gave birth to my first baby girl - in a hospital and without an epidural. Ten years after that, I gave birth to my second baby girl at home with the loving care of a Licensed Midwife, and The Bradley Method ®

 Our bodies are designed to give birth.
We might just need to be reminded to trust nature.

Childbirth is hard work. It's an athletic event for which we must train. 
By training for childbirth, we can experience birth in a more natural, physiological way. 
By practicing the techniques taught in Bradley™ classes, you and your baby can experience a peaceful birth. 

Birth is a powerful and beautiful event. It's my dream to share this beauty with mothers, fathers, parents, families by empowering them, sharing current research, explaining how to give true "informed-consent," and reminding everyone that the pregnant body is designed to give birth.

WHERE:
My in-person classes are held in Long Beach, California 
and I also broadcast live online via Zoom for folks who would like to join online.
WHO: 
These classes are for you AND your coach.
Your coach can be whomever you choose to bring with you to class (the Daddy, Mommy, Partner, Husband, Wife, Friend, etc.).

A Bradley™ class is superb for Coaches. 

Partners want to support and protect their family. You want to see statistics, charts, graphs, studies which let you know that your family is safe during labor. This class will provide all of that so you don't have to scour the internet for it yourself.


THIS CLASS IS AN INCLUSIVE SAFE ZONE. 
THERE WILL BE NO JUDGEMENT OR  DISCRIMINATION 
ALLOWED HERE. 
SO LONG AS YOU ARE PARENTS WHO LOVE, 
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE.  
YOU ARE WELCOME REGARDLESS OF GENDER, RACE, RELIGION, MARITAL STATUS, SEXUAL PERSUASION, VACCINE STATUS, ETC.,



TESTIMONIAL

"So gracious for Lia, our Doula / Bradley Method ® Instructor for coming into our life at the right moment.  I think that every woman planning on conceiving in the near future or is already pregnant should have Lia on their team." - Salina, Mom to Farrah

STANDARD OF PRACTICE: The standard of practice for Bradley Teachers is 12-continuous weeks of classes. Why? Because it works. Couples should ask for and receive the proven standard of TWELVE complete weekly classes. More couples are able to birth naturally with three months of practice than do couples who take a shortened series.
