Whether you are interested in having a natural birth, medicated birth, or vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), everyone can benefit from gaining a better understanding of the normal process of labor and birth and learning how to best support one another throughout this process. It is my goal to tailor classes to fit your needs.
My classes are designed to give you the tools and knowledge you need to acheive the birth experience you desire and make a smooth transition to parenthood.
For first and second time parents:
-
The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth is designed for couples that are seeking to have a natural, un-medicated birth. This nationally recognized class helps couples tune into and work with their bodies during labor to find what is comfortable for them. Couples build their own unique toolbox for labor and birth using a multitude of natural coping techniques and adding medical tools when necessary. Nearly 90% of moms that use the Bradley Method are able to deliver without the use of routine interventions or medications.
-
Fast Track to Natural Birth/Bradley Mini Course is a crash course in natural childbirth based on The Bradley Method. This class is designed to prepare couples for a natural birth when time is of the essence. Please note that I strongly encourage all first time couples to take The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth, as it offers the best preparation for natural birth. However, I do understand that there are times when circumstances prevent you from devoting10 weeks to childbirth education. It is my goal to provide personalized education for all couples interested in natural birth, and this is why I created the fast track/mini course.
For couples expecting again:
-
Natural Birth Refresher with VBAC prepartion included is designed for couples that are expecting again and wish to have a natural birth for this pregnancy. This course draws from the Bradley philosophy. Refresh your mind about what to expect during labor, learn how to labor at home and in the hospital, discover your inner strength, and practice multiple coping strategies. You do NOT need to have had a natural birth in the past to take this course. Natural Birth Refresher is a good fit for women desiring a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC course). Unlike standard childbirth classes, this course address issues unqiue to second time couples and moms seeking a VBAC. This course provides you with the knowledge and tools you need to have a natural birth.
