“ We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being such an inspiration to our family throughout our pregnancy & birthing process. We learned so much from your class, but most of all we were moved by your passion & dedication to such an important cause. We owe you mountains of praise for helping us get through a challenging but oh so joyous birth!
Thank you so much & keep up the great work you are doing! Know that you are helping change lives!
Miriah, Dan & Isla, Leucadia

"I love this class, and have been recommending it to all my pregnant & soon-to-be-pregnant friends."Kat G.
"Liza, I wanted to thank you for all the advice and help you offered us in the last month of our pregnancy. Even though our birth did not go as planned, we were extremely calm throughout, and I kept remembering your voice telling me that I need to give up control of the situation and just let the birth happen. I know you were talking about labor, but the advice was invaluable for our situation as well. I must say that the combination of Michelle’s calm presence sitting with us the entire time, holding our hand all the way to the operating room and her smiling, reassuring face in the recovery room, as well as your confidence in women in general and advisc based on that confidence, along with the memory of all the stories I had read, both of hospital and home/birth center births I had read about in Ina May’s book…all of these helped make our experience extremely positive even in the days after while in recovery. I was even able to use my Yoga breathing while in surgery and after... I know you know that your work is so valuable to women when they are in their most vulnerable and helpless state, and I want you to know that even when a baby cannot be born naturally, your teaching and advice, both from your yoga class and from your Bradley class, is relied upon. You help produce mentally healthy moms even in the worst situations. Thank you so much, and we look forward to working with you again if/when God decides to allow conception and birth for us again." Heidi P.

"During the labor and childbirth I felt so confident about what was going on, I felt like I was a major player in the process. Without your classes to educate me and give me an understanding of everything that was going to happen, I would not have had any confidence and I certainly would've felt more like an observer than someone with decision-making abilities participating in this amazing process. Your classes and wisdom also helped us deal with Leora's doctor and is now also helping with our pediatrician in areas like vaccinations, etc." Bryan M.
"I wanted to thank YOU for being such an amazing, supportive childbirth instructor. So many of the things Todd and I learned from you stayed with us for the remainder of my pregnancy and were remembered during labor. We couldn't have done it without you. Coleen was a God-send, but we wouldn't even have decided on hiring a doula if it hadn't been for your classes." Yvonne M.

WHAT
The Bradley Method is a system of natural labor techniques in which a woman and her coach play an active part. It is a simple method of increasing self-awareness, teaching you how to deal with the stress of labor. Bradley teachers urge couples to find what is comfortable for them in labor. Instead of seeking to control the sensations of labor with distraction methods, The Bradley Method encourages you to trust your body using natural breathing combined with relaxation.
WHO
Any mom-to-be and her coach will find the instructions valuable. The eight in-depth classes teach techniques which are applicable in any birth location (hospital, birth center, or home) with any qualified birth attendant.
WHY
For most couples, the fifth or beginning of the sixth month is the suggested time to seriously start training for labor and for their upcoming role as parents. The earlier you start, the better prepared you’ll be physically, emotionally and mentally.
WHERE
Class size is small, limited to six to eight couples, and therefore may be held in the comfortable surroundings of your instructor’s home or other suitable environment.
HOW
Your currently affiliated Bradley instructor wants you and your baby to have the best, safest, and most rewarding birth experience possible. For that reason, we endorse and teach the following:
• Natural childbirth
• Active participation by the coach
• Excellent nutrition
• Avoidance of drugs
• Early training
• Natural breathing combined with relaxation techniques
• Tuning into and working with your body
• Immediate and continuous contact with your new baby
• Breastfeeding beginning at birth
• Positive communications
• Informed parents sharing in the making of responsible decisions
• Parents prepared for unexpected situations (such as emergency childbirth or cesarean section)
