Frequently Asked Questions

Classes & Preparation

  • The Bradley Method focuses on birthing without medication and empowering through information. The curriculum discusses labor interventions and the questions to ask your provider should the need for an intervention arise. The class covers labor and pushing positions with an epidural. C-sections and your options are also discussed. I recommend everyone to take an independent (out of hospital) childbirth class whether they want an epidural or not!

  • Absolutely. The class fee covers the birthing person and one main support partner. We believe birth is a team effort!

    I invite any additional support people to attend the labor rehearsal class session.

  • If I know ahead of time that a partner will be absent, I can try to adjust the curriculum to information that focuses on the pregnant person only (for ex. breastfeeding). If I know ahead of time that the couple/registrant will miss class, I can try to adjust the curriculum to information that can be read in the workbook or the student google drive. I can also adjust the class date/time. If a makeup class is needed, the charge is $35 with the purchase of a class series.

  • Please contact me. Class days and times can be flexible. I will try to make the class available to you. If the schedule can't be changed then a private class will be offered.

  • Private lessons are scheduled to the convenience of the instructor and the registrant. Sessions can be scheduled weekly, monthly, or all in one day. We will figure out together what is best.

  • Unfortunately, I am only fluent in English but am working on becoming proficient in ASL. Interpreter provided upon request.

Lactation Support

  • If you are experiencing any sort of pain, mastitis, your baby isn't gaining weight or struggling with a latch, keeps popping off, struggling to take a botle, clicking on the bottle or breast, reflux or colic, excess/painful gas, or pumping issues.

    If you just feel overwhelmed, we are here to help. Trust your instincts.

  • Absolutely. Infant feeding is a team effort, and you deserve the support you desire.

  • We will review your health history as well as baby’s. Then, we will practice latching, and depending on your goals, we can do the following: flange fitting, pump education, infant exam, create a feeding plan. I am flexible to support your goals.

  • In-home consultation does have a travel fee, but is perfect for the first week after giving birth or if you need additional support from a partner during the appointment. Office visits have no additional fees and are a great way to get out of the house during your maternity leave in a safe space, to connect with your baby.

  • Text support during pregnancy and postpartum, following closely the last weeks of pregnancy & first few weeks postpartum and as needed, appointments scheduled last minute if needed urgently.
