I have worked in the natural health field for over 12 years as a radiology/cold-laser technician & chiropractic assistant. My husband, Neal, & I have been married for 4 years.
Our daughter joined our family on April 20, 2009. We have lived in Carroll county almost our entire lives.

My mother had me naturally, so I knew it was always something I wanted to give my children. Given my background in the natural health field, we decided that a home water birth best suited our preferences. We proceeded to find an experienced midwife team that complemented our ideas of birth. Our midwife team is: birthingright.com

After reading several books that referred to The Bradley Method®, I found that The Bradley Method?  gave the longest series of instruction for birth. Knowing I must be fully prepared for the birth, we decided to attend the Bradley classes in Marietta.

After having a joyful & educational experience that could not match just reading books, we decided to become Bradley® instructors.
 I want to empower women to have confidence in giving birth with joy, rather than fear. My husband & I want our coach's to feel confident in their skills to help our mothers overcome obstacles by educating them of a normal birth.

We are excited to be the first Bradley® instructors for Carroll county & Newnan area. 
I am proud to say my first students had a completely natural water birth in North Fulton Hospital, after having a first birth with several drugs.
The mother caught the baby herself!
 
The Bradley Method® classes are a 12-week series,
which focus on nutrition, exercise, & relaxation techniques.
My classes meet on Sundays from 1:00-3:00p.m.
in Carrollton, located where Hwy 61 meets Hwy 166.
  • Nutrition is important to reduce the chances for having complications during pregnancy & labor.
  • The exercises we teach focus on preparation of muscles that will be used for labor & birth.
  • Several relaxation techniques are taught that include specific instructions for the coach to help the mother achieve complete relaxation during labor.
  • Information is also given on medical interventions, medications, & hospital procedures to help give parents complete understanding for informed decisions regarding their birth.

  • Breastfeeding instruction & support is also part of the series


Private classes are available
(if you are having trouble finding a class that compliments your schedule)

The class series cost is $275,
which includes a copy of The Bradley Method® student workbook. 
Flexible payment arrangements are available upon request.
Please contact us for more information.

Space is limited to 8 couples in order to provide couples with needed individual attention, so please contact us to reserve your place.

We recommend you start classes earlier than 5 or 6 months, so you will reap the benefits of nutrition & informed consent with procedures given in the early months.
We offer to let you attend a later series of classes (with the same birth) for refreshing your knowledge & birth planning at no charge.
