Experience the Joy of Birth!

Are you having a hospital birth?  A home birth?  Sibling at the birth?  I can help guide you and your coach to experience your PERFECT birth experience. 

My first child was born in the hospital where I did receive some interventions.  After her birth, I wanted a different experience.  Our second child was born at home with a certified nurse midwife.  I so much loved having my husband involved with this birth that in 2005 we had our 2nd home birth.  Our midwives couldn't believe how relaxed and calm we both were through our births.

RELAXED

The Bradley Methodｮ teaches relaxation techniques and stress that fear leads to tension. Once the body is relaxed, a natural, unmedicated birth does happen! Come to class and learn how to enjoy birth by learning relaxation, massage, and natural breathing.

A relaxed birth leads to a better birth for you and baby. You値l experience the Joy of birth!

INFORMED

The Bradley Methodｮ teaches informed consent for all your pregnancy and birthing procedures. Through the 12 week series, you値l learn methods to promote positive communications. Classes also stress emotional signposts in labor so you know that THIS IS IT! Dads really like knowing where mom is during birth.

You値l have the information you need to make informed choices about YOUR birth.

NATURAL

Birth was meant to be NATURAL. You値l learn that your body is designed for labor and birth and motherhood. The 12 week series teaches you how to achieve an intervention free birth.

A natural birth gives you the overall best experience for your birth.

In classes you値l lean

nutrition

relaxation

breastfeeding

labor positions

postpartum care

pregnancy exercises

positive communications

Previous student comments

"Thank you so much!  I knew Steph was in transition and was glad to have learned that so I could help her during labor."

"Everything you said would happen at the hospital did.  The nurses said exactly what you said they would.  Thank you for helping me prepare for that and practice my reaction."

"I just kept telling the nurse to check me because I knew from Bradleyｮ class I was further along than she thought, and I did not want pitocin."

"When she said, 'What was I thinking?  I'm crazy to think I could do this!'  I knew from class that she was in transition and that we would have our baby soon.  I was able to help her through that part of labor."

"When we arrived at the hospital to find she was at 3cm, she gave up and just asked for the epidural.  I encouraged her to keep going knowing that she could progress very quickly.  If I had not taken these classes, I would have said fine go ahead because I wouldn't have understood the process of labor."

Classes are small with plenty of individual attention. Videos, music, and healthy snacks often accompany my classes that focus on relaxation and overall education.  With your class fee, you also receive the student workbook, Natural Childbirth the Bradleyｮ Way, Husband Coached Childbirth, and unlimited email and phone contact (which is especially helpful during the last few weeks and labor!) 

Craig will be available from time to time to offer his advice on coaching and fatherhood as well.  And if you do need help in preparing your child to view the birth of her younger sibling, I can offer some helpful advice. 

Classes will be 12 weeks. Each class will be about 2 hours.  I teach on Mondays and Tuesdays.
