It's a GIRL!!!

This precious little girl was born in August of 2010 and her birth was especially special to me as a teacher because her father was the brother of a couple who had taken classes with me back in 2009 and it was partly because of the brotherly encouragement that this family decided to take the classes as well. Here is Moms testimony and here is Dads.





2010 Bradley Dad Testimonial

Coming from a "natural" background and being born at home myself, I thought I knew almost everything there is to know about natural childbirth - I was wrong. These classes are absolutely necessary for anybody looking to have a natural birth experience.

Here is this Dads little angel.

2010 Bradley Mom Testimonial

We thought we we "prepared" for a natural childbirth because we were planning a home birth and drugs wouldn't be available. But with prompting from our midwife we took the classes and are so glad we did. They helped us have not just a natural delivery but a joyful birth of our daughter. It was great! Our midwife couldn't believe it was our first baby!

There have been a total of 14 babies born to A Better Beginning families during 2010 and I could NOT be prouder of all those awesome families that I have had the privilege of getting to know and sharing a very small part of their wonderful births!!!

Congratulations to couple #18 on the birth of your baby girl this morning. I am so proud of all 3 of you. :-)

2010 Bradley Mom Testimonial

"Knowledge really is power. The Bradley Method® classes gave me the confidence to achieve the natural birth experience that I desired. I felt prepared to not only handle, but embrace the expected and unexpected of natural childbirth. I believe it was that preparation that dissolved my fears surrounding pregnancy and delivery, allowing me to truly surrender to and be present in the process."

Don't Ask, Just Do It

"What if we simply stopped asking permission? What if we simply did what we wanted to? What if the mantra of laboring women became "don't ask, just do"?"
