Bio
Since 2005, I have taught close to 300 couples in the Oak Park area to have empowered births. I originally trained as a Bradley Method® teacher after the birth of my first daughter but after 5 years, I realized that I wanted to be able to offer more to my students. I was an educator with Brio Birth for a year and helped to design the Student Workbook with some of the most amazing educators in the United States but Brio has opted to move into a more online pregnancy support role and I wanted to be able to offer more personalized work with my families.
Informed Beginnings’ mission is to educate and empower mothers and partners by providing current, evidence-based information for the childbearing year. We teach positive, compassionate classes that strengthen confidence in the process of birth, while respecting the diverse needs and birth plans of our students.
Our classes cover the processes of pregnancy, labor, birth (normal birth, variations and complications- so that you will be ready for whatever course your labor may take), breastfeeding, and the postpartum period; good health in pregnancy; options in childbirth; the role and needs of the birth partner; newborn care; informed decision-making; and resources and support.
We are committed to the normal process of labor but recognize that not every labor is in the presence of normality. A successful birth is one in which the couple makes good, informed decisions based on the labor they are given. To that end we provide comprehensive information about pregnancy, labor/delivery, postpartum and other aspects of the childbearing year on a risk/benefit basis.
