Meet Your Instructors
Michelle Gabriel-Caldwell & Brent Chandos Caldwell
|
Michelle and Brent have been married since 1997, they always knew they wanted children. Blessed with two great kids, they didn't realize how impactful the birthing experiences were until sharing theirs with friends and family. Michelle's first pregnancy was normal and perfect, she wanted the same for the labor and birth...normal, natural. She took Bradley Method Classes, hired a doula and had a low intervention, natural hospital birth. Second time around she was older and wiser, birth two would be at home on Christmas night...same birth team!
Both of them were inspired to teach The Bradley Method and they have been doing so since 2006. Michelle is also a Certified Labor Doula, Evidence Based Birth Instructor and National Black Doula Association Doula Trainer & Mentor. In her spare time she loves supporting The Birth Center of NJ as their Doula Coordinator and Childbirth Instructor. |
Birth Your Way
Your birth matters; where, when and how!
No two births are alike, even from the same person.
Your birthing choices should be honored, supported and respected. Achieving that basic goal starts with education and asking yourself some questions.
Where will I give birth? With whom will I give birth?
What are ALL my options?

Childbirth Instruction NOT Preparation
Let's face it! Pregnancy is not an illness.
There is no other time in your life when you are admitted into a hospital and you aren't sick.
Hospital Childbirth classes PREPARE you for your stay at the hospital. They provide very little information to help you obtain an empowering birth experience. Bradley, EBB and even my Holistic Class provide practical and evidence based information that supports ANY birth plan. They provide in-depth information on pregnancy, stages of labor, relaxation techniques, acupressure, birth balls, Rebozo, complications, breastfeeding and advocacy. You won't find that in one class anywhere else and you'll spend hours online searching for yourself.

Empowering
Choices and Advocacy
Starting with a foundation of good information, understanding the true meaning of informed consent and knowing the benefits of staying low-risk puts you in a place of power.
