What makes Bradley Classes®
different?
-
We teach ‘tuning-in’
to the body during labor, natural breathing patterns and relaxation to deal with
the discomforts of labor, rather than distraction methods such as altered
breathing patterns
-
We take a
whole-pregnancy approach, teaching you strategies to help you stay low-risk and
healthy to maximize your birth options
-
We prepare you
to birth without drugs, rather than teaching you hospital routines and
compliance to ‘routine’ procedures which may not always be necessary in the
absence of complication
-
We focus on
education, consumerism, and communication as crucial for making wise birth
choices and fostering cooperation with your birth team
-
We stress the
importance of a well-trained, invested coach as vital for a joyous and natural
birth
What is a typical session like?
My classes are informal
and comfortable. Each week we will cover at least one relaxation
technique, with hands-on practice to truly prepare you for the labor process.
If you are interested in sitting in on a session to see what classes are all

Why should I have a Natural Childbirth?
In the absence of true
medical indications, a drug-free birth is the safest for mother and baby. NO
DRUG has ever been proven 100% safe in pregnancy!
The process of preparation
for a non-medicated labor and delivery process promotes strong family bonds.
