Julie Clarke's course is invaluable preparation for any new parent for the arrival of a newborn. Her personal approach, her positive attitude, and the handy booklet is outstanding. The fact that she also offers the opportunity to contact her if you have any questions or concerns during birth, and after your baby has arrived shows that she genuinely cares for you and your family as individuals. We did the calmbirth and Transistion into Parenthood course and found both an excellent compliment to each other. My husband was an excellent birth partner, and I believe he wouldn't have felt the empowerment he did if it wasn't for Julie's course.
