Bio

In 2001, I developed Stork and Cradle out of my own frustration with teaching childbirth classes at hospital and birthing centers. I flipped between two entirely different teaching agendas, and each one made couples feel their way was either right or wrong, when, in fact, they were both perfectly workable methods! The hospital class was very clinically focused - timed and directed pushes, getting an epidural at a certain time - while the birthing center class concentrated on the avoidance of pain medication and ‘going with the flow.’ I saw so many families leave their respective classes feeling well prepared, but when they went into labor, suddenly found themselves conflicted.
