BABY SIGNS
The Baby Signs® Parent Workshop is specially designed
for expectant parents and parents of children from birth to 24 months
old. It is based on the breakthrough research of Drs. Linda Acredolo
and Susan Goodwyn documenting the positive effects of teaching infants
to communicate with signs before they can talk. Parents will be
provided with the knowledge and strategies they need to begin teaching
their children to use signs. For more information about the Baby
Signs® Program, or to register for a class, please contact Dawn
West by visiting www.babysignswithdawn.com.

CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION

Bradley Method
The standard Bradley® series is designed for small classes with
lots of individual attention. The standard length of the classes
is 12 weeks covering 12 units of instruction. The Student Workbook
is included in classes. It has 130 pages with over 75 pictures and
illustrations. A coach card is also included. Your local Bradley®
teacher is an independent affiliated instructor. Some classes are
video enriched and offer a Certificate of Congratulations. Your
currently affiliated Bradley® instructor wants you and your
baby to have the best, safest, and most rewarding birth experience
possible. For that reason we endorse and teach the following ideals
in classes:
- Natural Childbirth
- Active participation of the husband as coach.
- Excellent nutrition, the foundation of a healthy pregnancy.
- Avoidance of drugs during pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding
unless absolutely necessary.
- Training:"Early-birth" classes followed by weekly
classes starting in the 6th month, continuing until birth.
- Relaxation and NATURAL breathing.
- "Tuning-in" to your own body.
- Immediate and continuous contact with your new baby.
- Breastfeeding, beginning at birth.
- Consumerism and positive communications.
- Parents taking responsibility for the safety of the birth
place, procedures, attendants, and emergency back-up.
- Parents prepared for unexpected situations such as emergency
childbirth, and cesarean section.
Educated parents have the responsibility to make these choices themselves.
They also need to seek personnel who have natural childbirth experience
and who will support their choices. This may take considerable effort
and sometimes requires seeking special personnel or traveling great
distances to achieve the safest possible birth.

Birth Works
Childbirth education using Birthing From Within, a book on our book
page, link to it. Jean Sala’s classes
Birthing From Within mentors (teachers) believe that childbirth
is a profound rite of passage, not a medical event (even when medical
care is part of the birth). We teach parents the power of birthing-in-awareness,
even when their birth experience is not what they had anticipated.
We create a safe, nurturing class environment which will invite
parents to discover their personal strength and wisdom. We balance
practical, useful information with introspective, multi-sensory
experiences.
We teach about birth from four perspectives: mother, father, baby
and culture.
We help parents build a pain-coping mindset so they may fully participate
in birth's rite of passage.
We know that Birthing From Within classes are not the end, but the
beginning of a parent's journey. For more information contact
