Welcome to my Bradley Method page - I’m so happy you’re here! Pregnancy is an exciting yet SUPER busy time, so kudos to you for taking the time to explore your options for childbirth education.  If, after reading through the information here, you are interested in taking classes with me, I would be truly honored to be part of your journey.  It’s been my privilege to have worked with expecting parents for going on 30 years now, and I love it just as much now as I did when I first started. (If you’d like to find out more about my background, education and experience, be sure to click on the “About Me” link above.)

I am currently offering virtual (live) Bradley Method group classes via Zoom, so you are welcome to join no matter where in the country (or world!) you live. (For a listing of class dates and times, click on the “My Classes” link above, or scroll down to the "Series Schedule" on the bottom right of the page.)  If an in-person class is more your jam, I also take on a limited number of private clients for in-person classes in Southern California (Riverside and San Bernardino counties).

I'm sure you've realized there are lots of options out there. You may be wondering, is it worth the time and effort to take classes? Or should I just read a couple books and watch some videos on YouTube? I want you to know that my classes aren't just about imparting information. Yes, of course that's vitally important; knowledge is paramount during this amazing journey of pregnancy and birth.  But becoming a parent is so much more than that.  It's about surrounding yourself with support and community; it's about stepping into the unknown; and it's about building your confidence in yourself and your abilities. Your baby needs you to be the best parent(s) you are meant to be, and to make sure his or her time before, during, and after birth is safe and joyful for all of you! 

Of course, most of us would agree that parenthood is the most important thing we will ever do, which is why all of this can feel a bit overwhelming! But let me reassure you. I'm not here to just to dump a bunch of facts and techniques into your head and send you on your way. My goal is to give you the tools, ongoing support, and encouragement to help you have the birth experience you desire, and to be the best parent you can be for your baby.  None of this happens by chance, and it definitely doesn't happen without effort. It DOES require a willingness to learn, a commitment of time and energy, and an unwavering desire to give your baby the best possible start. You've got this, I promise!

If you enter your name and email address below, you'll immediately receive information in your inbox about class pricing and any current special offers I may be running. You will also receive two of my resource guides, “10 Drug Free Ways to Reduce Pain During Birth” and “How to Choose a Childbirth Class.” I will also send you a free e-book on nutrition in pregnancy.
