Our Classes

Matt and I teach from our home in the Eldersburg/Sykesville area of Carroll County.  Our classes are kept small to allow time for time for personal attention in an intimate setting.   We do a full 12 week session in ten weeks of time to better accommodate our students busy lives.  A standard twelve week session runs a two hour class.  We now teach a two and a half hour class in ten weeks time, actually giving an extra hour of instruction over the standard twelve week class.

• Full twelve weeks of instruction in ten weeks (plus one additional hour).

• Bradley Method Student Workbook (125 pages)

• Bradley Method Binder (filled with current research on class topics)

• Class Text Book: Creating Your Birth Plan: The Definitive Guide to a Safe and *Empowering Birth by    Dr. Marsden Wagner

• A class with a lactation specialist (at no extra charge)

• Featured guest speakers (past students who offer to come and share their birth story with you. A great time to ask questions!)

• Free samples of maternity related materials

• Access to our Lending Library of maternity related books and movies

• A receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement  
   Most insurance companies will cover at least a portion of your class tuition.  If your insurance company  covers only hospital based childbirth classes, I can offer a letter explaining the money saving aspects our classes have over standard hospital based classes (ie. less medication, fewer surgeries, etc.)

• Help with developing your ideal birth plan 
  We offer a full list of supportive care providers in your area.  Weather you choose to birth at a hospital, freestanding birth center, or with a homebirth service, we can help you find the right care provider for you.

• Continued phone and e-mail support, before, during, and after the birth of your baby.
