Calm and Positive Birth

My experience with Julia and her Calm and Positive Birth hypnobirthing classes was phenomenal. I was TERRIFIED of giving birth - convinced that the worst was going to happen. After just one phone call with Julia I instantly felt understood and in safe hands, so I booked onto her classes immediately. The classes were relaxed, fun, informative and most of all, made me feel much more positive about giving birth. I actually ended up looking forward to it! I couldn’t believe how much it helped me and my partner to completely reframe the birthing experience. And after the course, Julia stayed in touch and even visited me and my baby boy, with homemade treats and some postpartum support, which was just out of the kindness of her heart. I highly recommend Calm and Positive Birth and will forever be grateful to Julia for adding such peacefulness to my journey.

Julia was amazing. We weren’t sure what to expect from hypnobirthing lessons, but her calm approach and useful explanations of the reasons why the techniques can be effective really helped us understand what we needed to do to have an empowered birth experience. I would urge every expecting parent/birth partner to look into hypnobirthing (and I really rate Julia in particular!).

I strongly recommend hypnobirthing to anyone that'll hear it! But working with Jules as our coach and guide through the course made for such a positive experience in the lead up to the birth of our first child, I highly recommend specifically working with her. She made the course material interesting, my pregnancy and anticipation of birth exciting and not at all scary, and working with Jules brought my partner and I closer together. Although I did not have the birth I had hoped for, thanks to Jules and this course, I still felt the whole experience was positive and that I was still in control. Jules helped my partner and I to learn skills that helped us through labour, and have continued to help through parenthood.

Jules was an incredible mentor throughout my pregnancy. Her approach is so positive and supportive.Hypnobirthing changed my life in so many ways. I had two wonderful and very positive births that I will cherish forever.I cannot recommend Jules and her hypnobirthing course highly enough!!

Julia came recommended by a friend and my husband and I found our private classes really helpful. I had given birth to premature twins previously and Julia was very good at making the hypnobirthing approach personal to us and our situation. She also handled the challenge of working with a Doctor (me) and a lay-person (my husband). We would thoroughly recommend Julia to people considering hypnobirthing and also those knowing nothing about it who want to try it out (like us!).

I decided to do Hypnobirthing as I was petrified of the idea of giving birth and all I had ever heard from people who had children were horror stories of the birthing experience. I found Jules as she lived close by and it honestly was the best thing I did! From the first meeting with her my fear lifted. Jules was so positive about the whole birthing experience and was glowing when she talked about the birth of her own children. It was a breath of fresh air that I very much needed and along with some homework she gave me, she helped turn by fear into excitement. Positive affirmations are the key to Hypnobirthing and Jules is one fab positive affirmation. She supports you and helps you to define your own journey and to understand what your body and mind can actually do. I LOVED my birthing experience, and I ca, hand on heart say Jules is now a friend for life.

I found coming to terms with the fact that my baby was going to be coming out and the physicality pending with that, a scary thought. After Jules’ classes I felt quite different - back in control and ready, rather than full of dread. Jules is charming and down to earth and the fact that she is willing to share both the tricky and beautiful parts of her own experience is really helpful. I really enjoyed learning a bit of science behind hormones and getting a sense of which ones would help me along my way felt like I was equipping myself in a genuinely helpful way.My partner and I will always look back fondly at the weekend we spent learning with Jules. I would seriously recommend to anyone feeling a bit nervous, or anyone looking to get the most out of their birth.

We did the this hypnobirthing course with Jules after she was recommended to us by my cousin, who had a wonderful and positive birth experience. This was my second birth, and the techniques I learned from Jules completely transformed my experience of labour and birth. The time we spent on the course led to a change in our approach to our second son's birth; we made some different choices and had a really positive experience as a result. Jules is fantastic - thoughtful, kind, and supportive - and she really took the time answer our questions and discuss everything thoroughly. I learned a lot about the process of labour and birth that I didn't know (even having done it once before!) and that knowledge really helped me feel confident and in control during the birth. I now recommend hypnobirthing to everybody!

Our experience learning hypnobirthing with Julia at Calm and Positive Birth was excellent. The lessons were warm and personal, and Julia provided daily support and encouragement right up until the day of our son's birth. We have since recommended hypnobirthing to many friends and family as the course had such a positive impact on our preparation for the birth.

The BEST thing we did to prepare for birth while I was pregnant. Was a real game changer and it allowed me to stop feeling so scared. It brought us together as a couple meaning during childbirth we were a real team. We both knew what to expect and felt more in control and comfortable. Jules was so supportive and lovely. She was there for me everyday on the run up. I have such a positive birth story and it is all thanks to her!!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
