In his book, Husband-Coached Childbirth,
Dr. Bradley said, “…the only handicap I have found
in the [Bradley] Method® is the super enthusiasm of the
parents afterwards. They will talk your arm off…”
Super enthusiasm is exactly how we feel after experiencing our
Bradley Method® births. We experienced such a bond during
our pregnancies and the births of our children. We want to share
this so others can experience the joy and empowerment of having
a Bradley Method® birth. Our own
experience includes the birth of our four children. With our
son, Marc, we had a water birth at a birthing center. With
our second pregnancy we found out we were having twins. Although
it was a high-risk pregnancy, we were still able to have a
natural birth in a hospital setting with our identical daughters,
Lily and Logan. Our most recent addition, our daughter, Addison,
was also a water birth. She was born at home assisted by a
midwife. We found that with each birth, the Bradley Method®
really helped us prepare for the labor and made us aware of
what options were available to us.
We would love to welcome you into our home and
to help you have the birth that you want. Please note that
classes are taught in our home and we have two well-mannered
dogs. If you are afraid of dogs or severely allergic, this
might not be the proper setting for you. We would be happy
to help you find another Bradley® Instructor in your area.
Melissa's Bio
Melissa grew up in Dexter, a small
town just outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Tired of the cold
weather, she came to Florida to attend Eckerd College. She
graduated with a BA in visual arts with a minor in biology.
After college she worked as a graphic artist and multimedia
developer for several different companies creating web-based
training programs. She met Scott, got married, had a few kids
and left corporate America to be a stay-at-home mom. Besides
teaching The Bradley Method, Melissa is also a certified lactation
counselor and teaches breastfeeding and newborn care classes
through the county.
Scott's Bio
Scott grew up in Virginia Beach
and came to Florida his junior year of high school. After
high school he attended the University of Florida. After three
years there, he still didn't know what he wanted to be when
he grew up, so he joined the Navy. In the Navy, Scott attended
electronics school and nuclear power school. He worked as
a reactor operator on a submarine, the USS Florida, for 4
years. After the Navy, Scott was hired by Lutron Electronics
where he has worked for almost 10 years. Scott travels to
where Lutron’s lighting control systems have been installed
and commissions the systems and trains customers on how to
use them. He met Melissa in 2003 and snatched her up quick.
He and Melissa decided to start a family right away and he
coached her through all her births. Although they are probably
done having kids, they keep him around to cut the grass and
such.
