Again big THANK YOU for Saturday session. It was super useful both for my husband and myself! We have already started to do the exercises you teach us as preparation for the big day!
My wife and I had a birth prep session with Julia and we both found it very useful (and fun!). I’ve read a few books on pregnancy and becoming a parent and had already gone to some NCT/Centering classes. However, I did learn a lot of new things during the session and it was an opportunity to hear a different angle on things I had already learnt. People often say things around birth and being a parent as if there is only one way to do it and talking with Julia was great as we heard all the pros of cons of different schools of thought which allowed us to feel more confident in our own path. I highly recommend working with her (as does my wife)
I manage to hold on to the wish of a natural birth and it was a lot thanks to your teaching and advice, thank you so so much for the priceless help and sense of ownership over the (online) birth preparation you shared with me! I laboured through with quite some yoga moves you taught me (hips openers were a saving factor) and got hold of some good breathing with sounds and movement(A-O-BZ).
Very happy to share that it was a positive experience!
As i mentioned many times, it has been a real honour for me to cross your path, the teaching you practice is really a powerful tool to share with the village of moms to be, thanks a lot for that!
