Congratulations on your pregnancy!
The Bradley Method® is a practical, natural approach to childbirth
emphasizing purposeful nutrition, targeted prenatal exercises,
pain-reducing relaxation techniques, all underscored by the training of fathers as labor coaches. Nearly 90% of Bradley students have achieved unmedicated births.
The
key to successfully having a natural birth is preparation. Over the course of 12 classes,
students learn to stay low-risk, avoid an episiotomy, make informed
medical decisions... all while gaining a thorough and
confidence-building understanding of pregnancy, stages of labor, optimal
birth positions, breastfeeding and more!
Registration is closed for the
April-June Session, as the class is full.
Please email Sarah at birth@sarahjoyalbrecht.net if you
would like to register early for the September-November session, or would like assistance in finding other
area Bradley Method instructors.

Bradley Class Night = Date Night! The hotel shares a parking lot with Cheeseburger in Paradise,
and discount coupons are available for the asking at the hotel's front
desk for my students while they are enrolled in this class. (There are
several other dining and shopping establishments in close proximity,
including the Exton Square Mall!) *Please
note that the $10-per-class tuition increase from previous classes is
due to the rental fees associated with the easily-accessible, central
location of this class. On the bright side, it will save gas money for
many students compared to traveling to Coatesville! Recommended Reading:
