I’m joined this week by my dear friend and colleague, Irene Kim who is a doula and Bradley Method Instructor. She dives into the ins and outs of the Bradley Method. What is it, how it got started, etc. This is a common type of childbirth education so I wanted to be sure to cover it so people have a good understanding of what the philosophy is behind it.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
MEET OUR GUEST:
Irene Kim is a certified Bradley® Childbirth Instructor and Doula with experience teaching over 300 parents-to-be. She has attended over 100 births as a birth doula and has provided postpartum support to many of these families as well. Along with ongoing Bradley® education each year, Irene has completed trainings for Spinning Babies, Rebozo training, and Comfort Measures training.
Irene was born and raised in the DC metropolitan area and is very experienced with the local hospitals, birth centers, midwives, and over-all best birthing practices and resources. She takes great joy and pride in connecting with expecting parents in her hometown to be a stepping stone on their way to building their beautiful families. She and her husband Daniel journeyed through three amazing, empowering, and natural births of their own and were later blessed with a fourth child who they met through the foster care system. Since then, Irene cannot help but to prepare, encourage, and teach other parents about the beauty of family, life, and birth. When asked to describe Irene, her former clients would say peaceful, calming, warm, knowledgeable, fun-loving, genuine, direct in the nicest way possible, and full of faith, hope, and love.
