My name is Crystal Garcia and I am a graduate of Louisiana Tech University with a B.S. in Family and Child Studies with a concentration in Applied Child Development. I came to my obsession of child birth in November of 2006 when I was enrolled in Infant Development at my university. I learned about prenatal development and the basics on labor and birth. It just so happens that it was that same quarter that my husband and I became pregnant.
After taking Bradley classes and giving birth naturally in August of 2007 I decided to make educating women and families about birth and the natural process a goal in my life. I am now an Affiliated Bradley teacher in Ruston, Louisiana, with two beautiful "Bradley" babies, looking at graduate school, and making beautiful images of children, families and who ever else will get in front of my camera. Thanks for checking out my site and I hope we can get to know one another very soon.
Bradley Classes offer a comprehensive curriculum. Bradley Method® classes cover it all: nutrition, exercise, being more comfortable during pregnancy, the coaches role, introductory information about labor and birth, advanced techniques for labor and birth, complications, cesarean sections, postpartum care, breastfeeding and caring for your new baby.
Our classes cover a few topics that are rarely discussed in other classes like: how to reduce the need for an episiotomy and the likelihood of a tear, how to avoid needing a cesarean, how to make the best of it if a cesarean is necessary, and what the coach should do if the baby is accidentally born in the car.
