The Bradley Method is a childbirth preparation class that teaches couples how to give birth naturally, without drugs and interventions.  We believe that a woman's body was designed to "give birth" rather than be delivered.  We teach women how to work with their bodies, to be educated and to enjoy the empowerment that comes from feeling your birth experience.

The key to the Bradley Method is relaxation.  When a woman is relaxed in labor she can experience less pain, less fear, a faster labor and fewer complications.   This series teaches pain-relieving methods through natural abdominal breathing and various relaxation techniques for the body and mind.

We focus on the role of the coach/husband during the labor and birth, teaching him ways to be a proactive and engaging part of the birth process.

Labor rehearsals and relaxation practices are an important part of each class while the couple gets to learn what works for them.

This class also covers prenatal nutrition, exercise, breastfeeding and postpartum.
