Bradley Birth Natural Childbirth Classes - Teaching women to trust their bodies

For over 40 years the natural birth community has benefited from the natural childbirth curriculum that is evidence-based, up-to-date with today's technology and ways of birthing, interventions and options and that returned the focus of birth preparation back to guiding the mother to trust her own body.  The Bradley Method is a natural childbirth organization with a childbirth educational workbook filled with information and photos taking us through a healthy pregnancy, normal labor, variations of normal labor and the postpartum experience while also focusing on relaxation (the KEY to the Bradley Method) and all you need to know about first and second stage labor, comfort measures, laboring positions and much more! 



In Bradley Birth classes, students will watch DVDs of gestation, normal labor and birth, variations of labor and birth and much more!  Bradley Method classes are fully comprehensive and include:
  • relaxation practice in each class,
  • The Brewer Pregnancy Diet explained in detail and so couples can learn how to avoid pre-eclampsia of pregnancy among other bad outcomes,
  • labor rehearsals including a whole-house labor rehearsal,
  • optimal fetal positioning and posture in pregnancy,
  • regular and prenatal exercise tips,
  • first and second stage labor,
