Whether you are planning a natural birth or just want to minimize the amount
of medication you and your baby are exposed to, Bradley Method® Childbirth
Classes are the choice for you.  The primary goal of Bradley Method®
Childbirth Classes is a healthy mother and baby.  In a small percentage of
births this may require medical intervention, but the vast majority of women
can give birth completely free of all drugs.

My Bradley Method® Childbirth Class Series is a comprehensive course
which meets 2 hours, once a week, for 12 weeks. Make-up classes are
usually available if you must miss a class.  I cover all the components
required by the Academy to educate you and your partner on how you can
work together to have a joyous, healthy, drug-free birth in or out of a hospital.

"Sherry - Here's (a picture of) baby River and Happy Mom!  We both wanted to say 'thank you'.
We couldn't have done it without you.  The birthing team read our birth plan and we were able
to have the baby the way we wanted.  Savannah felt so good, we left the hospital a day early
and now here we are with a healthy new family.  Our blessings to you and yours and may all
the couples that come through your class have the positive delivery of their baby as we have
experienced.

Love,
Dave & Savannah (Patterson)"
"Sherry,

Taking the Bradley class & having you as our doula were the two best decisions we made
during this pregnancy. You were an amazing doula & you helped me find strength & focus
when I truly had no energy left. Thank you for your wisdom & patience in helping us have the
birth of our dreams & for giving our baby the best possible start. You will always hold a special
place in our hearts & we will always remember your birthday since it's the day after Dean's!

Much love,
Erick, Minta & baby Dean"

Course Content - Some of the topics covered in class are...
After your class series ends, I recommend you attend one of my other class series (at no extra
cost) until you give birth.  I supplement my classes with lots of handouts, in-class videos, a book
and video lending library, free product samples and expecting parent gift packs.  Upon
completion of the course, your partner will receive a coach card and you both will receive a
Certificate of Congratulations after the birth of your baby.  I am available to my students by
phone well into their postpartum period to answer questions, give referrals as needed and
provide support.  I also host an annual reunion for current and former students and doula clients
(it's always fun to see the new babies).
"Dear Sherry ~

We can't thank you enough for all your support and guidance on how to bring Milo into this
world peacefully. Our home birth was a magical experience and your classes helped so much.

Much love ~
Jen, Jeff & Milo
