- 12 Week Bradley Method® Program: 6 couples MAX per session, $300 per couple, $50 registration fee to reserve spot & the remaining balance due by first class
This program is 12 consecutive weeks in order to train both your body and your mind for birth. It is ideal to start the class at the beginning of your 5th month of pregnancy, but you can start earlier. You and your spouse (or birth coach) will complete this course feeling confident and prepared for the Birth Day of your beautiful child (or children)! The Bradley Method’s® goal is to equip couples for a natural, unmedicated, beautiful birth experience. It trains the husband (or partner) to be the primary coach of the mother, which not only strengthens their bond, but also the bonds between them and their children. Come and join a community of couples as we learn and grow together through this amazing season of pregnancy!
- These 12 classes are the best in-person, but should a scheduling conflict arise or your husband or partner is not able to join you for a class, online hybrid classes are available upon request!
