Childbirth education classes


Sarah Young

Certified Bradley Method Childbirth Educator

When Sarah was pregnant with her first child she took childbirth classes to prepare for her upcoming labor and delivery. After experiencing her daughter’s birth, Sarah immediately knew that she wanted to furnish other parents-to-be with the same tools and information she had received in order to enable them have the best possible birth experience. While each birth is different and can be unpredictable, Sarah can help you prepare for labor and delivery. Knowing what to expect, various positions to use, and relaxation techniques can give the confidence needed as you head into your own unique birth. Understanding options you will have during labor and how to advocate for yourself will also help make your birth experience smoother.

Sarah will also talk about postpartum and give tips and tools to help you prepare as you head into parenthood. When moms (and dads) leave her last class, Sarah can’t help but smile when they tell her how much more empowered they feel as they prepare to meet their babies. THAT is her biggest goal in teaching!

“Sarah was an amazing Bradley Method instructor. She presented quality information (along with lots of experience) about pregnancy (nutrition, exercises, self care), labor (making a birth plan, natural ways to relieve pain, how your support person can be entirely a part of the birthing process), the labor stages themselves and all the “lingo”, and postpartum topics as well. She also managed to make everything really light and funny instead of taking you back to high school health class.

My husband and I’s relationship strengthened by taking this birthing class together…

We couldn’t be happier with all the information we learned and our birth story, accrediting a lot of it to Sarah and The Bradley Method? Highly recommend.”
