Great quality and great service, definitely coming back.

My husband (Levi) and I completed both the Transition to Parenthood and Calm Mindful birth classes that Julie facilitates. I cannot fathom how important these classes were to the birth of my baby girl. Julie provided information that empowered my husband and I for the whole birthing process. Her knowledge and assistance gave us the confidence to question the reasons behind our obstetrician pushing for an induction (which was not necessary) and ultimately led us to change from obstetric care and seek midwifery care via the public hospital. My labour was 11 hours long and I gave birth naturally to my daughter without complications or drugs and she was just perfect! Julie provided us with the greatest detail of information on the stages of labour, techniques on how to manage all that encompasses a labour, and very importantly the skills necessary for Levi to be a fantastic support person who kept me going when I thought I couldn't. Her course enabled us to be thoroughly prepared for our first birth (and post birth) and provided us with the tools necessary for an exceptional birthing experience and transition into parenthood. Her knowledge is incredibly valuable and beyond anything that can be provided by hospitals, and she truly provides unbiased pros and cons to all methods of birth and enables participants to make informed decisions on their birthing experience. Highly recommend to anyone who is having a baby!

You would have to be absolutely bonkers to be even thinking about giving birth without attending Julie's course! My wife and I were absolutely blown away with Julie's knowledge and her passion for all things baby related. I can safely say 100% that without this course, we would have been totally lost and probably would have been "pushed into" the standard medical world of interventions galore when it comes to child birth these days!

You can tell that Julie doesn't teach these courses for the money. She is so dedicated that she even provides her personal mobile number which you can call anytime for help and advice. After the birth of our beautiful baby boy, we wanted some breastfeeding advice. Julie would return our calls on a weekend whilst out with her family!

I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing person. Julie is by far the best teacher/child birthing expert/caring person that I have ever come across in my life. I cannot thank her enough for her dedication to this field.

My husband and I completed both the Calm Birth and Transition into Parenthood classes with Julie and found both to be invaluable in the preparation for the birth of our son. Having heard lots of horror stories about natural births I was quite fearful about my own and was recommended the Calm Birth classes as a way of building confidence. I am so pleased we did them. Because of Julie and these classes I went into our birth confident and unafraid and was able to have a drug free natural birth with no tearing or trauma.

This is the most valuable course you will ever do. I strongly recommend that everyone do it. Not only will you and your partner learn so much that you can't pick up in books, but Julie is so willing to answer even the strangest questions with so much joy. I am now really looking forward to giving birth without any fear. Thanks Julie!

Julie conducts an amazing Calm Birth course. I would highly recommend taking this course from Julie. Her knowledge, recommendations and resources have been invaluable to me and my husband in preparation of the arrival of our firstborn. Not only is the course great, but Julie makes herself available after the course, which I was lucky enough to take advantage of.

My husband and I completed the calm birth course with Julie before recently welcoming our son into the world.
As a first time mother I found the course really helped my husband and I get clear on our birth intentions. The core principles of deep breathing, visualisation and meditation really resonated with us, which we then used daily in our preparation for birth. It was one the most important tools we learnt. I found the course provided my husband with a great grounding in how to support me and our our baby during labour and how he could best support and reassure me on the day.
Julie oozes experience and had a engaging teaching style that we enjoyed and we certainly felt at ease with her. I would recommend this course - and we do - to anyone preparing for the birth of their baby whether they are a first time parent or have had a prior birth that was traumatic or didn't turn out the way they had envisioned.

I feel quite special being on a DOULA journey with Julie. Her love, compassion, knowledge and experience goes beyond pregnancy and birth, she really understands and knows how to inspire us to be the best support person for a woman and family during this incredible time of their lives. Julie has built a community and I hope to be part of it, always. Gratitude and success to you dear!

I highly recommend Julie and her calm birth classes. After a traumatic 2nd birth, I had all but decided I wanted a cesarean. We enrolled in Julie's course, and listened to the CD nightly while falling asleep. When I went in to labour, I visualised, remained calm and centred and less then an hour later my 3rd son entered the world, and breastfed straight away.
Love your work Julie and I recommend your class to all my pregnant friends!

Julie and the course were both amazing. I was a little sceptical going in but after just the first day I felt more confident, relaxed and empowered about labour and birth. The course promoted me and my husband to have the direct and honest conversations we needed to to plan for that day with a calm and pragmatic approach and clarity on what we want.
Thank you Julie

Hi Jodi, do you know lots of other people have described their first Calmbirth session in the same way as you - amazing clarity of thought and communication. I really appreciate your description - so honest and frank :)
