We did both of Julie's classes and feel so much more prepared. She has been fantastic through the entire process and created an environment where we felt welcomed, comfortable and nurtured. The classes provide honest, evidence based education which Julie clearly draws from her extensive experience. There is the opportunity for discussion without judgement and any concerns or fears raised Julie is quick to address with solution based thinking. I wish these classes were the norm for all expecting families. Thank you Julie, we look forward to sharing our birth story with you in the near future.

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 :)

Such a wonderfully comprehensive course with lots of advice for new parents. The content was presented in a relaxed fun format in the comfort of Julie's home instead of the clinical hospital environment. I would definitely recommend the class to new parents and also thise having additional children as it is a lot of fun and really does prepare you for the journey of parenthood.

I reckon every bloke should do this for their partner. Even if you think you have heaps of experience as I did, you should do yourself a favour and be prepared for one of the best experiences of your life. In a time where guys particularly can feel powerless, Julie's course empowers you to understand and act, not for yourself but for each other as a team.

The Course itself was engaging, fun, and you even had some much needed time to chill!

When I was pregnant for the first time I was so glad we had Julie to make sure we went into birth and parenthood fully informed and confident. Julie was warm, knowledgeable, caring and has a fabulous sense of humour. I have recommended Transition into Parenthood classes to a few people and they have also come away after meeting Julie feeling empowered around their birth and excited to meet their babies.

This taught us so many positive things to not only use at birth but for everyday life. Would recommend to everyone!

My husband and I did both calm birth and transition into parenting classes with Julie! We found them so beneficial both as a couple and as individuals to understand our role in the birthing and parenting process. I now feel I have the resources and the knowledge to birth without fear and understand what my body is capable of naturally. Julie's laid back approach makes the class highly enjoyable and comfortable not only for the woman but for the men too! I left the classes feeling calm and empowered! I would highly recommend doing these classes!

I heard Julies's TIP course from my friend who just did same course and had baby recently! We are very satisfied with Julie's TIP course, and feel more confident now as first time parent! The class was held in a relaxed and comfy environment, a heat pack provided on a cold day! All of this make me feel tiredness free and make me willing to learn! Julie is a wonderful teacher and the content of the course is comprehensive and there were interactive activities included, which all satisfied our learning needs! It is really worthwhile and we highly recommend this course to all the parents to be.

We got so much out of Julie's Calmbirth classes, it was such a valuable experience. Julie is a wise and pragmatic teacher, with a positive and organic way of approaching pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood. We left the final class feeling overwhelmed with confidence and excitement for our upcoming birth. We would highly recommend this class to anyone expecting a little one. If you're feeling nervous, anxious or unsure about childbirth, Calmbirth is the way to go!

My Partner and I attended the Calm birth course with Julie and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, I knew when i saw this course that instinctively it felt right to attend, I wanted to look at options for having a calm birth for me and my baby, my partner was very sceptical however from day one he immediately changed his perception! The whole course provided us with tools we didn’t know existed, knowledge we weren’t aware of and an awe of excitement ahead of the birth of our baby boy due in October. Julie's approach is calm, informative and engaging. We had fun, and enjoyed learning at the same time. As parents to be we feel ready to embark on the amazing journey and now also look forward to the labour with a knowing this will be a wonderful and calming experience for me, partner and baby! I am recommending Calm Birth to all pregnant couples I know. I would encourage anyone who is having a baby to attend this course. I just wish it lasted longer than 2 sessions, that’s how much we enjoyed it! I am now practicing the tools I received on a daily and weekly basis and know in my heart this will be a wonderful experience. Thank you to Julie and the Calm Birth Course!
