ROXANNE LEWIS
Hello! My name is Roxanne Lewis, and I’m a Bradley® Certified Childbirth Educator and Professional Bradley® Doula. It has been my joy and privilege to teach this comprehensive birth method out of my home in Weatherford, Oklahoma as well as online for the last 4-5 years!
After a rocky start with the birth of our first son (a medicated induction), my husband and I were ready for something completely different. Although we had hoped for a natural birth with our first baby, we simply weren’t equipped to cope well with labor as a team and to advocate for our birth wishes in the highly medicalized hospital we were in. When I quickly became pregnant again four months later, we found the nearest Bradley® instructor and signed up for a class right away. It changed everything! My birth with our second son was not only unmedicated, but it was pain-free (outside of a couple of times my husband had to hit the breaks in OKC traffic on the way to the hospital). Describing this birth to friends always brings a smile to my face as I remember how euphoric the experience actually was. I actually told my husband on the way home, “Let’s do that again!” We have now had two Bradley® births – one at a hospital with a DO and the other at home with a Certified Professional Midwife! Both experiences taught me that our bodies are beautifully capable of doing really amazing things. Come and find out for yourself how these courses can do the same for you!
My childbirth course is designed to be interactive, practical, and encouraging, with lots of discussion, videos, situational learning, and hands-on labor rehearsals. I use evidence-based information to help families understand the physiology of birth, common procedures and interventions, and the options they may encounter so they can feel confident asking questions and making informed decisions that are right for their family. My goal is to create a friendly, approachable environment where you feel comfortable being yourself, asking questions, and truly engaging with the material.
I also care deeply about the families I teach, and my support doesn’t end when class does. I love checking in with my students in the postpartum and hearing how they’re adjusting to life with their new baby. My husband, Brian, also helps teach portions of the course, including our Postpartum & Newborn Care class, offering his own perspective as a husband and dad. Although I’m based in Oklahoma, I teach families nationwide, giving couples wherever they are the opportunity to learn, practice, and prepare together for their birth and the transition into parenthood.
Class Times Offered (CST): Sundays 2:15-4:30 pm OR Tuesdays 6:30-8:45 pm
Each class lasts approximately 2-2.5 hours. Should these class times prevent you from signing up, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I try to be as flexible as I can to make this information as accessible to everyone as possible!
Classes are in-person OR online (zoom). There is space available in my current cohort, but they do fill, so enroll quickly if you’re sure you want to take the course!
