A must for pregnant couples!!! We did both the calm birth and TIP courses and found them so incredibly helpful. I can only describe Julie as a birthing-fairy-godmother. She gave my husband and I the language, the tools and the empowering knowledge to prepare ourselves for the birth of our bub (and beyond). Transition into parenthood covered so much vital information in a relaxed, friendly environment. Calm birth addressed all of the fears and preconceived ideas that we had about labour and childbirth. We feel so prepared and excited now.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this class. It was so nice to attend a class where the husbands are involved the whole time. Julie's teaching style is fantastic and the content was extremely useful. It really helped to prepare us for the birth of our first baby and I highly recommend this course to any pregnant couple, whether it's your first baby or not.

I couldn't imagine going into labour and giving birth without having done the Calmbirth and Transition into Parenthood Condensed courses with Julie. I felt so confident about the upcoming birth of our baby and so well prepared, excited and ready. Both courses were such a valuable education which prepared us for when to expect, giving my husband the confidence to participate and play an integral role in the birth and equip us with tools to give us the birth experience we wanted, making it such a special time we will treasure. I achieved a natural birth, drug free as I'd hoped for and a very alert, healthy happy baby. Thank you Julie!

My husband and I attended the 'super condensed' childhood and parenting course on a Sunday with Julie. It was a small, intimate group of 4 other couples and the learning environment is so wonderful, you feel like your at home. Julie really helped me feel more confident and excited about becoming a first time parent. She encourages you to ask all those questions you have accumulated since becoming pregnant and provides you with an enormous amount of useful feedback and a wealth of past experiences. I feel more prepared for labour and also some basic techniques for essential baby care. Julie is able to make you feel really comfortable about the challenges that lie ahead and I appreciate her ongoing support as she makes herself readily contactable for any queries you may have in the future.

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.

My husband and I did the Calmbirth class with Julie Clarke and were inspired by the content covered in the course. Not only has it given me the increased confidence in birthing my baby naturally, but has also allowed my husband to understand how he can support me. My husband and I are on the same page now and we both look forward to working as a team to welcome our baby into the world. Thanks Julie…highly recommend the course!

My husband and I feel much more confident now after Julie's course. Awesome experience, highly recommend to everyone.

There are countless birth courses on hand these days - but few will set you up for a truly special birth quite like Julie's Calm Birth. You and your partner will leave the course feeling confident, prepared, excited - and above all, calm, about the next chapter which is about to unfold in your life. Consider this one of the best investments you can make in the emotional and physical well being of your family.

After hearing from friends that had done the calm birthing class in Bowral, we researched our options and decided to do the 2 day course with Julie. It really was one of the best decisions we could have made!
From the very moment I met Julie, I felt at ease, comfortable and like I was in the hands of a very wise and knowledgable teacher. Her years of experience running the course and midwifery experience are really invaluable and she wants to share all her knowledge with you, as much as she can.
Julie runs her group classes from home and the experience she provides you with is very personal and welcoming, and at all times I felt like I could ask her anything and know that she would take her time to answer and discuss it, allowing me to feel confident that the natural process of birth was an experience to be embraced and something I am now looking forward to.
From doing the course, I feel like I have the confidence, knowledge, belief and importantly the skills, to birth my baby the way I want to and that I'm looking forward to the birthing process being a calm, positive and truly amazing experience!

My husband and I gained alot of knowledge and condfidence through Julie's fantastic course. I would highly recommend this to all first time expecting parents.
