We highly recommended Julias two day classes. Julia gave use alot of information/handouts which was very useful - library great, practical demos, hands on approach, and group work great. Defiantly a must for first time parents

I highly recommend joining this class. This two day course with Julie prepared us with everything we needed to know for the big day and after the birth. It was a priceless experience for us as our little one decided to come into the world before we could make the hospital or the ambulance make it to us. Julie's shared knowledge enabled me to play the successful home midwife and without this I'm sure I would not have coped with the situation.

I would highly recommend this course! My partner and I got so much out of this course, it was amazing the amount of knowledge Julie has. She is an inspirational trainer that I could have listened to all day long. She gave us so much information we had not found anywhere else - Thank you Julie!

It was a very comfortable, thorough and reassuring experience as well as an instructive and non-prescriptive one. The setting was warm and friendly, and many questions I had were answered clearly and thoroughly.

A must for new parents. Julie provides a very balanced and well researched view on all things birth and parenting

Julie is a caring, passionate, gentle and knowledgeable Childbirth Educator and Calmbirth (R) Practitioner. I have referred most of my clients to Julie over many years and have always marvelled at Julie's ability to educate, inspire, motivate and soothe expectant parents. She has a fantastic collection of pregnancy, birth and parenting resources which she generously lends out to her clients, in testament to her love of imparting empowering knowledge. Julie is a firm advocate of natural birth but also a balanced and well-reasoned practitioner, and women have always commented to me after completing Julie's courses how supported and nurtured they felt. I whole-heartedly recommend Julie's classes!

My husband and I gained so much from spending two days with Julie in the relaxed and homey atmosphere created by her in her classes. Julie has a vast amount of knowledge on the subject and is more than willing to share it all. The time goes relatively quickly as you spend the day in a comfortable lounge area and topics are discussed in various ways (informal chats, some videos and presentations, group work and individual experiences). Julie has a passion for her work and I'd highly recommend her courses.

Julie is a wonderful teacher, both experienced and friendly. She does an excellent job of making you feel comfortable, and then easily and clearly explaining all the material to you. Going in, we felt a little unprepared; afterward, we felt like we could handle anything!

It was such a pleasant experience learning everything from Julie. Because it was my first pregnancy, I had lots of question marks regarding labour. I didn't know what to expect. But after the course, my husband and I were truly able to say we were ready, ready to meet our baby.

I highly recommend this course to all first time parents.
