Lisa Miller, AAHCC – The Bradley Method
My name is Lisa Miller. I've been teaching the Bradley Method® for 13 years. Wow! I have birthed 6 children. Three using brand X, three using the Bradley Method®. I've birthed 4 in the hospital and 2 at home. Teaching Bradley® is one of the most rewarding things I have ever chosen to do. I love giving couples the tools to birth the way they choose and to see them birth joyfully! In addition to teaching class, I also participate as a labor assistant to those couples who invite me to their births.

Jill Tenbrink, AAHCC – The Bradley Method
My husband, Randy, and I were introduced to the Bradley Method® when I was pregnant with our first child, Nathan in 2000. Due to a rough labor and pressures of the birth team, I had an epidural but managed to avoid a C-section. During my teacher training, I was priveledged to observe 8 unmedicated births. I became pregnant with my daughter, Elizabeth, and she was born at home in April 2004... drug free! Both experiences were wonderful, but Beth''s birth was so much more empowering and the family bonding was incredible. Bradley® helped us to prepare our son for the birth. He was a great comfort during labor and watched Beth''s birth. He even cut the cord. Bradley® has given us the gift of two wonderful, life-changing experiences.
