Tami Maloney, AAHCC

Congratulations! You are either here because you are currently expecting a child or are planning to soon become pregnant. Either way, you are entering the most fabulous time of life! I am the mother of four children, Nathan, McKenna, Logan, and Sariah, all of whom were born naturally using The Bradley Method^®.

My husband, Ken, and I view these children as wonderful gifts from our Heavenly Father, and did everything within our power to have our children enter this world in a loving, peaceful, natural atmosphere. You may read each of their birth stories by clicking here: Nathan – 1996, McKenna – 1999, Logan – 2001, Sariah - 2004.

Ken and I chose to become instructors of The Bradley Method® after the birth of our first child in Georgia in 1996 and have been teaching since 1998. Our experience with Nathan’s birth was empowering and
fulfilling for both of us and our marriage. Since moving to Decatur in 2005, we continued to teach because we want all expectant couples to have that same opportunity and education.

Together, we educate, motivate and inspire couples to be responsible for all aspects of birth – from choosing a supportive medical team to choosing a loving, positive parenting style. We also have a lot of fun in our classes as we discuss “The Daddy Rules”, “Pregnancy Brain”, and “The Breastfeeding Triad – mommy, baby and daddy”. Our classes follow The Bradley Method’s^® course content, and are the most comprehensive and complete way to prepare for your child’s birth.

Thank you for your interest in the safest, healthiest way to have a child – The Bradley Method^® of Childbirth!

As a chiropractor and first time mom, I knew that I wanted an unmedicated, natural birth. We chose the Bradley Method^® classes to help us prepare for the event. Tami was tremendously supportive and informative and she really helped us to prepare ourselves to have the healthy birth that we wanted. Her husband Ken also shared insights from a husband's perspective that were very helpful for my husband. We would highly recommend Tami and this class to anyone who wants to give their baby the best start possible!

My husband and I attended Bradley^® classes with Tami and Ken Maloney for 12-weeks in spring of 2002. We successfully used the method in the birth of our daughter in May of that year. We believe that what we accomplished would not have been possible, or at least extremely difficult and not as rewarding, without the aid of these classes. Tami is extremely knowledgeable in the Bradley Method^® and taught the class well. We found it very enjoyable as well as helpful. I would recommend the classes, especially with Tami, to anyone expecting.

When my husband Jim and I signed up for our Bradley^® class, we thought that we would be receiving instruction on how to have a natural, drug-free childbirth, which was incredibly important to us. What we got out of the class was so much more! A large part of the Bradley^® class focuses on what to do BEFORE the baby’s birth to ensure that mom stays low-risk and is able to have a natural birth. We learned so much more than we ever thought about the process of birth, nutrition for mom and baby, ways to steer clear of c-sections and medical intervention, and relaxation exercises for mom to keep her pregnancy more comfortable. Twelve weeks seems like a long time to attend classes, but each and every class was well worth the time. Tami Maloney couldn’t have been a better instructor. After just one class we could tell that she truly believed in the Bradley Method^® and its benefits to mom and baby. The personal experiences that Tami and her husband recounted after having three Bradley^® babies themselves was invaluable. They were able to answer every question and to give advice and helpful guidance because they had been through three childbirth experiences themselves! Tami always created a relaxed atmosphere and was always available for questions both during and outside of class. I would highly recommend Tami and the Bradley Method^® to any expectant parents desiring a natural childbirth experience.

The information on pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare were and continue to be invaluable to Greg and me. You opened up the world of attachment parenting to me. My children and I are grateful.

I had a very smooth pregnancy overall, thanks to Tami Maloney and the Bradley Method. Dr. Bradley's theory and materials are wonderful, but it was Tami's instruction and encouragement throughout the last five months of my pregnancy that made the materials "stick" so they were there when I needed them--in the labor and delivery room! Tami takes material that could be clinical and dry and gives it the life and energy that nervous new moms and dads need. Throughout the 12 weeks of instruction, Tami was attentive to our questions and willing to talk with us about our individual concerns. I even called her at home once or twice when I was having problems, and she was a tremendous resource and reassurance. For example, my baby was breech for a large part of the pregnancy, but Tami told us in class about a chiropractic technique that helps to turn breech babies. I sought out a chiropractor with experience in that technique, and my baby did turn and stay head down so I could deliver vaginally! I never had problems with swelling or with blood pressure, which I believe was due to the diet and exercises Tami taught us in class. Having Tami's husband Ken as a resource for my husband-coach was also a significant source of help and reassurance. My husband and I wouldn't have traded our experience with Tami and the Bradley Method®, and our beautiful natural-born daughter Clare is living proof that Bradley® WORKS!!

What People Are Saying…

“The classes were great! Tami really opened up, shared her experiences with us, and motivated us to be as prepared as possible! She was very approachable with questions and always took time to answer thoroughly.”

“I was impressed with Tami’s knowledge and ability to share information in a persuasive way – not confrontational.”

“Even though we ended up with an emergency C-Section due to complications from pregnancy-induced hypertension, we felt we used all the information from the class! How grateful we were to have been educated in all aspects of birth. Our birth was a surprise, but not scary. We knew we met the Bradley^® Method’s goal of a healthy mom and healthy baby.”

“Tami was very excited about the material, and, of course, very educated – having gone through three Bradley^® births herself. Just listening to her stories and enthusiasm has encouraged me that I can definitely do this – thank you!”

“We really enjoyed the class. Tami and Ken obviously love what they do and are a great support to us!”
