Sweet Pea Birth Classes Childbirth Education, How to get Evidence-Based Care, Being your own Advocate, Informed Consent & Re Hello! Pregnant women are not sick.

I am Adrianna Costello-Martin, and I have been a certified Bradley® teacher since October 1996. I have four Bradley® babies of my own: Caleb, born Feb. 1994 in a hospital with an OB, and Anna Claudia, born Dec. 1995 in the same hospital with the same OB. I gave birth to my third child, Leo, in May 2005, at home with two fabulous midwives in attendance. My fourth baby, Phoebe, was born at home in August 2009. She was birthed in the water, into my own hands (with midwives standing by)--an amazing experience! I have a degree from the University of Utah in Behavioral Science and Health, with a minor in Anthropology. I will be starting nursing school in Spring 2017, and from there will pursue my Certified Nurse Midwife Master’s degree. I was a Certified Birth Attendant (midwife's assistant/apprentice) at The Birth Center from 2008-2016, where I assisted midwives at birth center and home births, performed clinical duties and provided labor support.

Certified Phlebotomist
I am honored as a Bradley® birth educator to be a small part of such an amazing event in your life; to be able to participate as you discover the incredible power inherent in birth and in yourself as a birth-giver is such a privilege! I hope to be a mentor and guide to you and your partner; to remind you that birth is a healthy, normal part of a woman's life cycle; a profound rite of passage for women & their partners. Pregnancy is not a condition or disability that needs curing. Women deliver babies, not doctors or midwives. Pain can be an inevitable part of childbirth, but pain does not need to equal suffering. I want you to leave my class prepared for whatever comes your way; ready for a powerful, intense, amazing birth experience.

So true. Western culture needs to catch up with the science!

So true. Western culture needs to catch up with the science!

Infant sleep is widely misunderstood in Western society.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! 🙏🏼

As Carriage House Birth shared, today is , a holiday that "aims to celebrate and honor the past, present, and futures of Native peoples throughout the United States and acknowledges the legacy of colonialism, which has devastated Indigenous communities historically and continues to negatively impact them today. More importantly, however, Indigenous Peoples’ Day moves beyond the narrative of oppression and honors the histories, cultures, contributions, and resilience of contemporary Native peoples."

I am so excited to unveil a project baby that is 5+ years in the making.... the Indigenous Childbirth Educator; Training, Mentorship, and Certification Program!

The vision of this program, from the beginning, is to lift up our aunties and helpers, to build capacity from within, as we collaboratively gather skills in service of pregnant & parenting families.

Instructors include a team of Indigenous midwives and birthkeepers, maternal-child health workers, experts in social issues throughout Indian country, traditional healers and community families.

We are committed to crafting an opportunity that is free of the typical barriers and burdens that all too often distract and discourage. This program is offered at no cost to participants and no prior experience is required. We believe in YOU!

This is a hybrid program;
-All sessions held virtually from September 2020-May 2021
-One on-site gathering to be held in King County, WA (May 2021)
-Followed by continued in-community mentorship

Limited space available, WA State applicants will be prioritized.
Application deadline is August 15th, 2020. Follow the link below and apply today! https://forms.gle/9shrJJc25FZFHh5Q8
