I am currently studying my birth and post natal doula course and Julie is such an amazing lady to do it through, She is very knowledgeable and makes sure all her students are looked after. No question is ever to silly or hard for her to answer and she always takes the time out of her day to listen. If you have ever thought about doing your doula training, this is the place to go through :)

Very glad I immersed myself into this course, both Pregnancy, labour and birth Doula and Post Natal Doula courses. I completed during my own first pregnancy and it has made me feel a whole lot more confident and given my self the reassurance in becoming a confident mother and a birth/post natal doula for future clients. The course is structured really well and Julie is always quick to reply to any questions you may have. Highly recommend if you’re wanting all the tips and advice for pregnancy, labour, birth and post natal support. Thanks Julie!

Julie Clarke is an outstanding Doula trainer whose warmth, compassion, and depth of knowledge shine through every aspect of her work. During my self-paced Home Study Pre and Postnatal Doula training, Julie’s support was consistently encouraging, prompt, and informative. Her programs seamlessly blend videos, written resources, and practical insights, making it accessible and engaging for all learners. Julie Clarke's Pre and Post Natal Doula training prepares Doulas not only with knowledge, but with heart, ensuring Doulas are compassionate, attentive and highly knowledgeable. I wholeheartedly recommend Julie Clarke’s Pre and Postnatal Doula training to anyone passionate about supporting women and families. Thank you Julie. Fiona Webb . Toowoomba Doula.

I am completing the birth and postpartum doula course and absolutely loving it. Julie has a beautiful gift for building genuine community, her warmth and intentional support made me feel connected, encouraged, and never alone throughout the process. That sense of belonging kept me motivated and confident, especially since I am completing the course online. Because of the community she created, I truly felt empowered throughout completing the course as I had a community to turn too. Thank you Julie! X

From the very first contact with Julie I knew I was in the very best care. Julie’s course with all of her knowledge is incredible. I felt extremely supported the whole time and always felt I could ask as many questions as possible. The course content was fabulous. I am a nurse and learnt so much from a doula perspective.
Very grateful I have been able to complete this course with Julie and I am so looking forward to working as a birth doula.

I found both the Birth and Postnatal Doula training booklets to be very helpful. They provided excellent sources of information that have significantly aided me in my work with families as a doula. Julie was also fantastic and readily available whenever I needed assistance. For anyone considering a career as a doula, I highly recommend these courses.

My experience with Julie throughout the doula course was nothing short of heart-warming. She created a space that felt safe, nurturing, and deeply supportive, allowing me to learn not just with my mind, but with my heart. Julie’s gentle guidance, her wisdom, and the genuine care she poured into every moment made the journey feel personal and meaningful. I walked away feeling inspired, seen, and truly grateful for the warmth she brought to the experience.

I have just completed the 5week birth and post natal Doula course with Jules and loved every minute of it, we had such a great group of women who will be life long friends and we can now be a great support for each other in our own Doula journeys. I really did not want it to end! We had the most wonderful chats, yummy lunch’s and learnt so much! Jules is an absolute wealth of knowledge I’m so thankful to have done this course under her guidance.

Julie’s doula training, her extensive experience, continued support and extended community that she has created, is second to none. It’s an incredible value for money and Julie continues to inspire and support her community of Doulas by providing the latest resources and up to date news of the industry. Even after training Julie continues to offer inspiration and guidance on setting up your business and how to navigate any challenges faced. It’s a wonderful training program and I highly encourage you to work with Julie as a mentor or birth educator. She is a wealth of information and kindness, she is fantastic! ❤️✨💫

I am working through the at-home course books created by Julie, and I am thoroughly impressed with how extensive, informative, and well-thought-out the Doula Course is. The materials cover everything you need to know about being a doula and starting your own business. I love that Julie makes it clear you are always welcome to contact her for help and advice whenever needed. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to become a doula or anyone who wants to learn in-depth about pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period.

I have just finished Julie’s birth doula course and I found it super informative and gave me a great foundation of knowledge as I move into my birth doula career. Julie also provides her students with a great network of support - with other doulas and from herself. Thanks Julie!

I completed the Face to Face Birth and Post Natal Doula Training with Julie and I absolutely loved it! I gained so much knowledge (and therefore confidence) from her and her classes confirmed that taking this course was the right choice for me. She also provided such a warm, friendly environment and it was honestly my favourite class I took compared to school and university. I have never looked forward to a class this much in my life and I am sad that I completed the training because I wish I could keep going to her classes☺️ That said, now that I've completed the training, I am so excited to apply what I learnt to my doula career:)

I recently completed my doula training with Julie, and I truly can’t put into words how incredible the experience was. Julie is the most amazing human—her compassion, wisdom, and kindness are unmatched. With her wealth of experience and genuine heart for birth work, she created a learning environment that felt safe, empowering, and deeply supportive.

The course content was thorough and thoughtfully put together. The workbooks were packed with valuable information, and everything was presented in a way that made learning feel engaging and inspiring. Julie always made herself available—whether it was to answer questions, offer encouragement, or simply check in—she was only ever a phone call away.

This course has not only given me the knowledge and confidence to begin my doula journey, but it’s also given me a deep sense of community and purpose. I’m so grateful to have learned from Julie and would recommend her course to anyone feeling called to this beautiful work.

I decided to do the online birth and postpartum course through Julie. I loved the information that was included and all the birth videos. It was great I could do it within my own time and I was able to complete it quickly. So excited that I am officially a qualified Doula.

Julie Clarke is an exceptional teacher and one of the most inspiring mentors I’ve ever had. Completing her Birth & Post Natal Doula training has empowered and equipped me to be the best possible doula for new mothers. The course is incredibly thorough, beautifully structured, and the content was both engaging and insightful. I gained not only all the knowledge I needed, but so much more ~ tools and wisdom that I know I will carry with me throughout my entire doula journey.

Julie’s support has been unwavering, extending far beyond the course itself. She continues to check in and has created a wonderful community for past and current students, offering ongoing guidance and connection with other doulas. I wholeheartedly recommend Julie Clarke’s Birth & Post Natal Doula Program to anyone considering this path. It has been a life-changing experience. Thank you truly Julie xo

The Home study made it so accessible, I was able to complete the workbooks in my own time which was amazing since I work full time. Julie is so lovely and always available to answer any questions along the way. After completing the course I feel so confident and excited to start my journey as a Doula! Thank you Julie!

Julie is the most experienced and amazing support through your pregnancy, birth and postpartum doula education and parenthood journey.

I am a proud student of Julie’s! I studied her birth and postpartum doula course and loved every minute of it. It has opened so many special doors and I’m so thankful to her for the course she has so lovingly, passionately and thoroughly prepared for her students. Not only is her course eye opening and full of every bit of information you need to become a qualified doula but Julie herself is kind and caring and wants to see you succeed. I cannot recommend her course highly enough. Thank you Julie

I did Julie’s online course at the end of 2023 and absolutely loved it! I had a bub at the time, so was able to work through at my own pace, whilst bub was strapped into the carrier for endless cuddles. Doing the course online reduced any pressure to meet deadlines, have to be anywhere on a certain date and just generally made it such a great option for a mum with 2 young kids. I found the course really easy and engaging to complete - and Julie was super helpful if you had any questions (via text or email!) I am now a fully certified doula and am 1 year into my business - and things are going so well. Thanks to Julie for creating this affordable and wonderful course. I learnt so much and felt so confident and ready to go after doing it! 🧡

I completed the online post natal doula course and I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to study for this at their own pace. As a postpartum mum myself I loved that I could work away on this when my baby was napping or in bed at night. Julie sends so much additional resources via email for you to use as well as posting you a workbook and some books. She has a Facebook group which also adds another level of support as its full of student or recently certified doulas, whom you can ask questions to. I would really recommend this course and hope that in the further I will be able to compete the birth component too. Thank you Julie x

Incredible Training Experience with an Amazing Trainer!

I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience training as a Postpartum Doula. Julie is an exceptional educator, and her passion for supporting new families truly shines through.

The course covered everything I needed to confidently assist families during the postpartum period. The way Julie presented the material made it easy to understand and apply in real-life situations.

I am truly impressed by her dedication, knowledge, and the supportive learning environment they created. This training has not only improved my skills but has also given me the confidence to support new families with care and professionalism.

I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking to become a Postpartum Doula!

I recently completed the Birth and Postnatal Doula course with Julie at the Doula Academy of Australia(self paced home study), and I am beyond grateful for the experience. Julie’s expertise, warmth, and dedication to the field are truly unmatched. From the very beginning, it was clear that she is deeply passionate about supporting families through one of the most transformative experiences of their lives.

The course was not only informative but also empowering. Julie created a learning environment where we felt safe, respected, and encouraged to ask questions and share experiences. She expertly balanced her workbooks, ensuring that we not only understood the concepts but also felt confident in applying them. Her approach was thorough, and she covered everything from the physiological aspects of birth to emotional support, postpartum care, and self-care for the families who are bringing life into this world but also for the doulas and how to care for themselves.

Julie’s genuine care and compassion shone through the entire course. She made sure we understood the importance of emotional presence and connection with clients, not just the technical aspects of birth and postnatal care.

The postnatal section of the course was incredibly beneficial. Julie provided us with so many resources and insights into how we can best support new parents during the delicate postpartum period. I left feeling not only well-equipped with the practical skills needed to support families but also emotionally prepared for the sacred responsibility of being a doula.

I also love the Facebook group with all of her previous certified doulas and current doulas in training as it’s such a supportive group with real life experiences.

I wholeheartedly recommend Julie to anyone looking to pursue a career in the Birth and Postnatal doula space. Julie’s passion for what she does is infectious, and her course was an investment in not only my career but my personal growth.
Thank you, Julie, for providing such an enriching and transformative learning experience.

Julie provided me with the tools, education and knowledge when studying to become a doula under her course. The course was family friendly and easy to do at my own pace within my own home, which was amazing having a little baby myself.
Because of Julie’s course, I now have a very successful Doula business that is growing day by day. Everyone deserves a doula, and I’m so glad I became one. Thank you Julie x

Such a great, insightful, accessible Doula certification! I actually completed both courses during my newborn’s nap times and it only took me about 6 months! Julie promptly marked my work and issued me with my certification documents in record time! Now I’m pregnant with my second child and so excited about birth and even potentially having a VBAC (after a breech birth c-section with my firstborn). Julie was and is still so accessible and open to questions or emails and I completely my degree nearly 12 months ago!😇🙏🏼
