The calmbirth course Julie runs was everything we wanted and had sought to understand about the birthing proces both from a mother and partners perspective. The course is facilitated in a such a way that every piece of valuable information Julie gives you can be discussed and absorbed. From the moment I found out I was pregnant I had been seeking an understanding of how to deepen and nurture the connection between me and my baby and inlcude my partner as well. As first time parents the course provided us an understanding of the birthing process and provides techniques that can be practiced together at home to assist the labour. The course intelligently explains the impact fear can on a womens body in labour and how this can affect the babies journey into the world. Julie's knowledge and calm and welcoming demeanour made the course doubly enjoyable. We were part of an excellent group who were all there to try and learn how to make their babies entrance into the world a calm and aware one. I would highly recommend for people who are first time parents and those who want to deepen their connection with partner and baby. Cannot praise enough :) thank you Julie for a wonderful two days.
