LEA & SPIKE MASON, AAHCC 2008

We have 3 children - all born naturally using The Bradley Method® to prepare for birth.

When I was pregnant with my first, a friend called and said, "Whatever you do, have a natural birth. It is the most empowering and creative thing you will ever do." So I went to the library and borrowed every book I could find on Natural Childbirth. One of those books was "Husband-Coached Childbirth" by Dr Bradley. It made the most sense to me so I used The Bradley Method® for my birth and it was the most wonderful experience.

Now, after 3 wonderful, empowering, unmedicated births I am so happy to have been able to give my children a safe, gentle start to life.

I feel it is a great priviledge for me to be able to help other families also give their children a healthy, safe and gentle start to life. I can't imagine giving birth any other way - than the relaxed, confident and calm way The Bradley Method® teaches. I wish every pregnant woman could learn to give birth this way - could learn to avoid unnecessary pain and to trust and work with her body, rather than against it. So I teach The Bradley Method® because I know it works and I want to spread the joy.

Classes are small (5-6 couples), with lots of individual attention, and are taught in the relaxed atmosphere of my home. I teach about the natural process of birth as well as simple, practical techniques of relaxation and natural breathing. Husbands/partners are taught how to support a mother in pregnancy and how to be her advocate and coach during labour and birth. I use lots of visual aids, games, role plays and videos. By the end of the 12 weeks you and your partner will feel confident, well prepared and educated for your birth (hospital, birth centre or home) even in the event of complications.
