Our Story: Bradley Birth Classes Online

When I was pregnant with our first child, Jeff and I took interactive Bradley® classes together. My husband learned how to be an effective labor coach, and we gained a deeper understanding of natural childbirth education, learning about everything from the stages of labor to breastfeeding, and how to avoid unnecessary interventions. I have had 9 natural, beautiful Bradley® births, and each one was an incredible experience. Our great birth experiences inspired us to become affiliated Bradley® instructors.

The interactive Bradley® classes we offer are fun, engaging, and empowering for expectant couples. Jeff brings a bit of humor to the sessions and draws from his experience as a father, husband, and coach.

After 20 years of teaching classes in four different states—East Berlin, Connecticut, Glen Rock, New Jersey, Ramona, California, and Greensboro, North Carolina—we transitioned to teaching online. Now, couples can attend our online childbirth classes from the comfort of their own homes or wherever they are, making it incredibly convenient. Over the years, we have learned how to effectively convey information to expecting women and their partners, so they feel prepared to give birth and know how to advocate for themselves when needed. Our classes include games and break-out rooms, allowing you to interact with other couples in your Bradley® series, share positive birth stories, and have ample opportunities to ask questions.

I gave birth to my first child at the age of 24 and welcomed my ninth child at 48. My birthing experiences have included a hospital, a freestanding birth center, and home births, with my most challenging deliveries being my sixth and eighth babies.

Our classes cater to those planning hospital births, home births, and freestanding birth center births. We also offer valuable information for VBAC moms, couples expecting twins, and parents who already have children.
