Julie.
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.
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
Thanks so much Julie 😊
Julie is the most experienced and amazing support through your pregnancy, birth and postpartum doula education and parenthood journey. She creates such a light, bright and safe space to learn all you need - making sure that you have all of your information without feeling overwhelmed, unsure or insecure.
Julie's own hands-on experience is truly unmatched and I couldn't be more grateful to have partnered with Julie for my own pregnancy, birth and postpartum doula training. Thanks Julie!
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!
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.
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
