Congratulations on your pregnancy and welcome to my website! 

If you're seeking a natural childbirth and want to give your baby the healthiest start possible, you're in the right place. My passion is to help families start their parenting journey on the best possible path. I teach classes based on The Bradley Method®, a proven approach to healthy, unmedicated births that prepare couples for a joyous labor and postpartum period.

Do you want to:

Have the healthiest baby possible?

Take the fear out of childbirth?

Minimize your risk of having a c-section?

Prepare your labor coach to assist your birthing with loving confidence?

Have a natural childbirth to avoid medicine and chemicals passed on to baby during birth?

If you answered "yes" to any of these, then come join me for childbirth classes.

The Bradley Method is the best at educating couples to have a healthy pregnancy, and at preparing couples for a healthy, unmedicated, and safest birth possible, along with a joyous postpartum period.

Whether you are having a hospital birth, birth center or a home birth, I encourage and help couples to get as prepared and as informed as possible about such an important event.  

We have a secret in our culture, and it's not that birth is painful.

It's that women are strong.  ~ Laura Stavoe Harm 

 

About Me:

I’ve been teaching The Bradley Method® since 2011 and have had the joy of helping many families experience positive births. My husband and I had three beautiful natural births of our own, two in hospitals and one as a home birth. This method has been a life-changing experience for us, and I love sharing it with others.

Over the years, I've assisted at births in different parts of the world including the USA (Virginia and South Carolina), South America, Germany, and South Korea. This global experience has given me insights into how other cultures approach childbirth, often with healthier birth outcomes than we see in the US.

Since moving to Charleston, SC in 2017, I’m thrilled to serve this growing community and help more couples achieve a positive birth experience.


I am looking forward to helping more couples have a positive birth experience!
