Congrats! If you are here at my Bradley Method birth education website, it probably means you are preparing to meet the newest member of your family.
The Bradley Method ® is a great way to be empowered and able to learn how to advocate for having a natural pregnancy and birth.
Especially now with COVID-19 changing hospital policies, such as only having one support person with the mother at a time, and not being able to switch people, it is more important than ever to have your coach/spouse trained and educated on what a laboring woman experiences. This course is a great tool to teach your significant other or whom ever will be your coach during the birth, how to effectively help you relax through contractions easing the perception of pain. Thankfully more hospitals are also allowing a certified doula (which I am?? ) to accompany the laboring mother and coach. A doula is never to replace the coach but rather to add another set of hands and eyes to help the mother with relaxation and other tasks and to be an experienced source to help give confidence in your birthing ability, help with positioning, and to assist the coach and stay with the mother so the coach can eat and go to the bathroom with out leaving the mother unattended.
I AM offering hybrid classes. They are mostly virtual via ZOOM meetings. We may meet in person for a meeting or two but that will be discussed as a group about what and when works best for everyone. The zoom classes are still interactive and full of valuable information and you don't need to leave your house! (Most people who contact me are 1 hour+ away from me!)
This is not just a class about coaching. We cover a very wide variety of topics about pregnancy, labor, pushing, postpartum and much more. If there are certain topics you want to know more about, let me know and those will be some of the topics I go more in depth with. Every pregnancy is unique and needs and interests of each family vary and I do my best to tailor classes to meet those needs. I am here to serve YOU!
