BRADLEY METHOD
Child Birth ClassesWith Lauren Amand
The Bradley Method is a system of natural labor techniques using abdominal breathing combined with relaxation. You and your partner will learn comfort measures, relaxation techniques, positions to facilitate the progress of labor and pain management techniques. Women are encouraged to trust their bodies and become empowered as active participants in their babies’ birth. I show DVD’s in most classes. You will see births in a variety of settings; hospitals, birthing centers and home. Couples also learn about the emotional stages of labor and how to support the laboring women. During the series we discuss the risks and benefits of various procedures so couples can make informed choices. We also cover breastfeeding positions, techniques and benefits as well as postpartum adjustment and newborn care.
As part of the series Karen Lee, Director of Breathing Time Yoga teaches a couples’ prenatal yoga class. In this class you will learn postures for reducing back pain in pregnancy. Couples also practice intensity exercises which serve to increase mental focus and partner connection and presence.
This series also includes a class with Shiatsu Therapist Karlo Berger. Karlo will teach birth partners acupressure and massage techniques that can reduce pain and discomfort during pregnancy and labor and assist the progression of labor. Karlo also addresses the birth experience and partners’ role from the perspective of the birth partner/father.
