Congratulations on your upcoming birth.
I am pleased to offer The Bradley Method® of childbirth to you. I have been teaching Bradley® since 1996. I believe the woman's body knows how to give birth and she can do it drug-free with the help of her partner.
I teach a natural childbirth method that works - The techniques are simple and effective. Couples are taught how they can work with their bodies to reduce pain and make their labors more efficient.
I provide each couple a 125 page Student Workbook.
This method provides excellent coach/doula training - Coaches face some special challenges in labor. They need special training as well as the mother.
The classes offer comprehensive education: nutrition, exercise, introductory information about labor and birth, advanced techniques for labor and birth, complications, cesarean sections, postpartum care, breastfeeding (we do recommend La Leche League meetings) and cover a few topics that are rarely discussed in other classes.
I keep classes small enough for individual attention - Bradley® classes average 3-6 (or 6-8) couples per class. My classes run 9-12 weeks depending on the couples due dates.
Please visit www.bradleybirth.com for more information on the method.
I would love to answer any questions that you may have. Please contact me at 916-284-5563 or msdoula@yahoo.com
