Welcome to the personal web site of
CECILIA & CHRISTOPHER PHILLIPS,
Provisionally Affiliated Instructor

First of all congratulations on being an expectant parent! 

It is an honor for us to be part of  this wonderful time for couples’ lives and to help them get informed so that you can make the best decisions for you and your baby.

We chose this photo for our website because of all the meaning that is behind it. It was taken just a few hours after our daughter was born three and a half years ago. Unlike many of the babies born under the influence of the so-called “safe” drugs used “to relieve pain during labor”, the alertness of this newborn is the miraculous result of natural childbirth. The calmness and sweetness of this new father is the result of a coach who was prepared and knew what to expect to receive his daughter. He was also the loving and assertive guardian that made sure that my labor was as smooth as possible during a time when I was the most vulnerable, and who literally saved us (baby and me) from having a c-section. Chris is truly the living example of the perfect coach and I cannot overemphasize the importance of having a loving coach by your side during the most transformative period of your life.

Our passion for natural childbirth is personal and yet we have taken it as a mission to share it with others. Natural childbirth is not only safer for everyone but it is transformative for women and couples.  If there is something that strengthens you and empowers you as a woman is the experience of delivering your newborn.

The 12 weeks Bradley® series is the perfect length of time to prepare you and your coach (husband, partner, mom, best friend) for the upcoming birth of your baby. Just like you would prepare for a marathon or would plan and gather information for a major event such as a wedding or the trip of your dreams, preparing for the birth of your child takes preparation since it is most likely the most wonderful event of your life to come.

The Bradley® method is a system of Husband-Coached Natural Childbirth. It is a simple way of increasing self-awareness and of teaching you how to deal with the stress of labor and birth. The once-a-week classes are small, in order to provide individual attention. They include 12 units of instruction, and teach both of you relaxation, physiology, nutrition and parenting skills. The classes emphasize good coaching techniques for labor and birth management with stress control, and they advice you on how to be an intelligent consumer of obstetric services, emphasizing positive communication with the birth attendants. You will also learn about unexpected situations such as emergency childbirth and cesarean. So let us help you learn to give birth naturally! 

We will prepare you to take care of your newborn and we will share our experience and enthusiasm. Although Cecilia will teach most of the content, Chris will share his role as a coach and be around to answer any questions for the coaches.

While being a provisional we will be charging less for the class, so take this great opportunity to learn the Bradley® Method from a passionate and enthusiastic couple at a lower price.

Most importantly of all you will learn to trust your body, and we will have lots of fun. My classes are video enriched and I will provide a resources list for new parents. Also you can browse through my modest collection of books.
