This year is an exciting year for my pregnant students. I have been helping expectant mothers breastfeed successfully by giving free regular breastfeeding classes monthly. It’s been ten years now.

I believe in “freedom of choice based on education” (ICEA). I believe in helping and supporting couples in what ever capacity I can. People need people.

This is one of the most common question asked to me when couples inquire about my childbirth classes. I usually throw the question back to them to find out why they are interested in the class and what they expect to gain out from the class. From there I am able to give them the […]

I think in all of the different methods in childbirth, the Bradley classes offer the highest percentage in giving birth naturally. I think it is because of the limited number of students per class. Just imagine, the maximum is only eight couples! Aside from that, the classes are long. It is twelve meetings! What other […]

In one birth I was in I remember the nurse telling the mother who was moaning in hard labor to keep quiet.
In my childbirth classes I encourage it! I tell the mothers to try to express themselves in any way they can and if moaning is one way, then do it! I find that […]

2 Chronicles, “For God has the power to help & overthrow.”
I like this verse. It will keep me inspired for today especially when I’m down or discouraged. I know my God is strong and faithful. He will never put me down. He is my help! Always been!

Be inspired to try something new and much of what you dream can become your life. Lord, thank you for giving me the freedom of choice, and grant me the courage to experience my opportunities and create new ones.
Nothing is ever quite as bad as it seems. Call on God and then practice expectancy and […]
