Testimonials
"I highly recommend Julia's Birth Partner workshop for extra encouragement and guidance in preparing for labor. My husband and I found it very informative and more personal than the classes we took through Sutter and Kaiser. Julia also left us with a binder full of information and resources for us to refer to on our own leading up to the delivery. I even took it to the hospital! I truly believe our natural birth experience would not have been possible without all of the preparation and support from Julia in Birth Wisdom Prenatal Yoga classes and the Birth Partner "dudela" workshop."

"My husband and I attended Julia's dudela training. He reports that the experience helped him feel comfortable assuming the role of an amateur doula and advocate. The class familiarized him with the effective strategies for comfort measures and support during (and before) labor. Importantly, he also got some great advice on what *not* to do and say during labor :) The class was a mix of discussion of tools that Julia has in her doula arsenal and hands-on practice with the different techniques. His confidence in his role for an active birth has greatly increased as has my comfort level in knowing that he now feels fully prepared to advocate for me and labor with me."
