The Bradley Method®

The Bradley Method®, also know as husband coached childbirth, is a natural childbirth method.  It emphasizes the husbands role as coach, and teaches dads how to support their wife through pregnancy, labor, birth, and beyond.  The Bradley Method is the most successful natural birth training with over 80% of couples completing the class having a natural birth. 

 

Bradley Class Series are 12 weeks long, and cover topics such as: Nutrition, Exercises, RELAXATION, Stages of Labor, Effective Coaching, Informed Consent, Breastfeeding, and Baby care.  I will also include guest speakers here and there throughout the class.  These classes prepare couples to feel empowered by the natural process of birth!
