My husband and I learned a great deal at both of Julie's classes (TIP and CB) and would highly recommend it as a must-do for other first time parents-to-be. My husband was slightly skeptical at first, but this soon changed as Julie opened his eyes to the truth about labour etc and the important part he will play.

I entered Julie's lovely classroom unsure and anxious about the birth but now feel empowered, confident and excited for the big day. In particular, we both feel more comfortable in dealing with hospital staff, knowing our rights and being able to request options that are best for us.

Calm Birth was invaluable in preparing us mentally and emotionally for birth, both as individuals and as a couple, providing us with Julie's extensive knowledge and advice - which increased our confidence immensely. This was boosted by the Transition into Parenting class, which provided hands-on practical advice with all things labour and new born. I had quite a few 'ahaa!' moments in the TIP class where a few things I felt unsure about clicked into place. Knowing we also have Julie available for phone advice if we need it really helps to ease my mind too.

Thanks Julie - hope to be able to share our calm birth experience with you soon :)
