 A childbirth class should help you to feel comfortable giving birth where you choose. Whether you choose to give birth in a hospital, a birth center, or at home, the birth of your child is exactly that: YOURS.
In the words of my beloved obstetrician, 
"It's your show."
Come learn how to safely make it so.  

Included in the fee for my Bradley Method® childbirth class is 
continual access to me via phone, email, or text 
right up to birth of your child.

Contact me for pricing. A $75 retainer is required to reserve your spot. Cash, check, all major credit cards, Zelle, and Venmo accepted.

Centrally located and serving all of Southern California, childbirth classes are held in Long Beach at Your Natural Birth on Naples Island 
(only a few minutes off the 22 & 405).


TESTIMONIAL

"I  wanted to thank you for an amazing Bradley class experience! I was so relieved to find you so down to earth and normal (I was thinking you would be a bit granola, lol) and I feel more confident even just knowing you're a phone call or text away (I need to hear your voice in my head to combat the negative-nancies that want to grow there). Your enthusiasm is infectious and I know it has boosted my confidence. " - Bailey, Mom to Zalia

STANDARD OF PRACTICE: The standard of practice for Bradley Teachers is 12-continuous weeks of classes. Why? Because it works. Couples should ask for and receive the proven standard of TWELVE complete weekly classes. More couples are able to birth naturally with three months of practice than do couples who take a shortened series.
