The anticipation of a new baby is such a precious and sacred time in a woman's life.
PLEASE NOTE: Private, 1-on-1 classes are also available! This type of class is designed to fit your needs. E-mail or call for more info.
I would love to have the opportunity to work with your family during this very exciting time! If you are looking to have an empowering birth experience, then you have come to the right place. Congratulations again for wanting the very best for you and your unborn baby.
Still not sure if natural birth is for you? Although these classes have an unmedicated approach, you can still greatly benefit from taking Bradley classes even if still on the fence about labor drugs.
"Kristen was an absolute joy to have as our Bradley Method instructor! She was very knowledgeable on a variety of topics and also added to the learning experience with videos and clips, books from various authors, and her own personal experiences. Her patient attitude was extraordinarily helpful to me and my wife who had several questions throughout our class period, and she creates a comfortable atmosphere to talk about, at times, uncomfortable material. I highly recommend Kristen as your next Bradley Method teacher, you won't be disappointed!"

Topics include: prenatal nutrition and exercises, relaxation/comfort techniques, self-care during pregnancy, avoiding unnecessary interventions, creating a birth plan, understanding the various stages of labor, informed consent, managing complications, postpartum healing, breastfeeding, working together with your partner as a team during pregnancy, birth, & postpartum, early parenting, and MORE.
I believe that unmedicated birth is capable of happening in any setting (whether home, birth center, or hospital) when families are INFORMED and EMPOWERED!

"We traveled from Baltimore to take classes with Kristen and we are so glad we did! She is extremely knowledgeable about pregnancy, preparing for labor and delivery, and the postpartum period, and we felt very informed about what we can expect on this journey! She taught us about nutrition, showed us lots of great pregnancy exercises and techniques for labor, and provided lots of online written and video resources, which were very helpful in keeping both of us, but especially mom, healthy and mobile throughout pregnancy."
