LISA THOMPSON

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Hi! I’m Lisa Thompson, AAHCC—an Affiliated Bradley® Instructor based in Grand Rapids, MI. I’ve been teaching since 2014.

When my husband and I discovered we were pregnant in 2011, we were ecstatic. As we started doing more research, though, we realized we wanted to have a natural birth. We believe God created us with the capability to birth naturally. However, we knew we needed help in accomplishing this, so we took Bradley® classes to prepare mentally, physically, and emotionally.

The series proved to be worth its weight in gold, for we had the natural childbirth experience that we so desired. Noah was lovingly brought into this world on his timetable. In addition, my husband was able to actively participate in the birth, which was very important to him. I felt so empowered and overjoyed by this experience that I wanted to help other women to achieve their goals.

In June of 2014 we welcomed our daughter Grace into the world by again using what we learned through The Bradley Method®. She peacefully made her entrance into the world at our home without any interventions.

In August of 2017 we joyfully welcomed another baby into our lives. Benjamin was born at home in the early morning hours with the help of my husband and midwife. We were so grateful to have another gentle, intervention-free labor and delivery.

In November of 2022 we were blessed with the addition of Henry to our family. He graciously came into this world at home in a birth pool. My husband, midwife, and I worked as a team to accomplish this in the peaceful stillness of the morning.

I am a teacher at heart and love imparting practical skills and knowledge to people. I believe that knowledge is power. Women who don’t know they have options don’t have any. Therefore, I desire to familiarize women with the options they have during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and beyond.

Classes will be held in-person in my home in Ada. The classes meet Thursdays from 7-9pm for 12 weeks.

Payment is due the first day of class and is non-refundable. Some insurance companies cover the cost of classes (ask me for insurance forms). If you need to set up a payment plan, please contact me for more information.

If dates/times do not work with your due date, a private crash course may be available.

Pregnancy is such an exciting time in your life, but it can be filled with lots of questions and decisions to be made. The Bradley Method® 12-week series will give you knowledge and confidence as you make decisions for you and your baby.

You will be able to:

-Prepare your body through nutrition and exercises

-Gain knowledge in the stages of labor

-Practice relaxation techniques

-Prepare your partner to be an active coach

-Understand interventions, complications, and much more!

You wouldn’t run a marathon without training. Why birth without proper training?
