Classes are open to EVERYONE. Whether you are having a hospital, homebirth, or birthing center birth you will learn valuable information in these classes. Mom is encouraged to bring along her support person (spouse, friend, parent, etc.) Whoever you think will be the most encouraging and supportive of you while you are in labor is who you should bring as your support person. I am trained in the bradley method, though not certified. I teach a mix of bradley method and my own adapted natural childbirth method.
