I am thrilled to offer Bradley Method® classes in order to help new parents to feel empowered as they plan for labor, delivery and beyond. Please reach out via email at shirabostondoula@gmail.com with any questions about the Bradley Method® or my upcoming classes.
I teach my classes in Newton, MA, and look forward to getting to know you, learning more about your growing family and helping you make connections with other parents in the area.
The Bradley Method® is all about preparation and education. Through this class you'll learn important techniques so that that you can be present to experience the wonderful, life-changing and empowering moment of the birth of your baby.
Topics include labor and what to expect, nutrition, exercises that condition and tone your body in preparation for birth, relaxation and massage for pain management, informed consumer choices, and positive communication with birthing staff. We will also focus on training your partner as your birth coach and advocate. And, since birth is just the beginning, we'll also make sure you are ready for what's to come in the weeks and months to come.
We will watch videos, discuss birth topics using the student workbook, play some games, practice positions, and hold labor rehearsals during each of our classes.
