My name is Emily Belz, and I was first introduced to the Bradley Method® in 2011 when I was pregnant with my first child. I took the class because a friend told me I absolutely must, but what I didn't realize at the time is that the Bradley Method® would truly change my life. What it taught me is that birth is not just about getting a baby out, although it is that- birth is one of the most profound and beautiful moments of a person's life, and every part of it can be treasured and treated with the utmost respect.
I happen to believe that trusting the natural process and aligning with it through the right kind of education is the best way to show this respect and to experience the deepest joy. There is nothing on earth like the birth of a child, if you are ready for it! Now I have four children total, and all my births were natural and non-medicated- three in a hospital setting, and one at home. I am so deeply thankful for the empowerment that the Bradley Method® provided for me and for my husband as we went through each of these births together, and I am so excited and privileged to offer this same gift to other couples!
