A Pregnancy Class for Every Birth Journey

Whether you are planning:

• a hospital birth
• a home birth
• a water birth
• an epidural
• an induced labour
• or a planned caesarean birth

these classes will help you feel informed, calm and confident about whatever birth unfolds.

Birth doesn’t always follow a perfect plan. These classes help you understand how labour works and how to navigate your choices, so you feel prepared for any path your birth may take.

Book Early in Pregnancy

Many mums book our classes after their 12 week scan so they can join after their 20 week scan to enjoy the full experience throughout pregnancy.

Joining earlier means you can:

• build friendships with other local mums
• learn gradually rather than in one intense course
• enjoy weekly relaxation and time for yourself
• feel confident about birth long before labour begins
• attend more than one course if you want to

Most women attend between 20–40 weeks pregnant.

What Makes These Classes Different?

Unlike many antenatal courses that run over one weekend, these weekly sessions give you time to absorb information, practise techniques and build real friendships.

Over 6 relaxed weekly classes you will:

• Understand how your body works during labour
• Learn natural ways to cope with contractions
• Discover positions that can make labour easier
• Practise breathing and relaxation techniques
• Feel confident discussing choices with midwives
• Prepare for different birth scenarios
• Meet other local mums going through the same stage as you

Each class is around 90 minutes of learning, movement, relaxation and chat but the format is flexible, depending on circumstances.

These Classes Are For All Birth Plans

You are welcome whether you are planning:

• a hospital birth
• a home birth
• an epidural
• a water birth
• an induced birth
• or a planned caesarean

My classes focus on understanding your options and feeling confident whatever birth unfolds.

Every pregnancy and birth is unique, and the aim of these sessions is to help you feel informed, calm and supported

What We Cover During the 6 Week Course

Our classes combine the best parts of antenatal education, hypnobirthing and pregnancy yoga.

Topics include:

• Understanding your body during labour
• Birth hormones and how they help labour progress
• Natural pain relief techniques
• Breathing and relaxation for labour
• Active birth positions
• Making informed choices during pregnancy and birth
• Planning for different birth scenarios
• Hypnobirthing techniques for calm labour

Each week also includes gentle pregnancy relaxation to help you unwind.

A Community for Mums

One of the things mums love most about the classes is the friendships they make.

Because you meet the same group every week, you quickly build connections with other local mums who are at the same stage of pregnancy.

Each group has:

• a WhatsApp group
• access to a private Facebook community
• ongoing support after the course ends

Many groups continue meeting for coffee, my baby classes, baby walks and playdates once their babies arrive, some women have been known to have a cheeky weekends away or holidays abroad together!.

Hi, I'm Julie

I’ve supported hundreds of local women through pregnancy, birth and early motherhood through my antenatal classes, baby massage and baby yoga sessions over the past 14 years.

My aim is simple:

To help you feel calm, confident and supported throughout your pregnancy.

I create a relaxed and friendly space where no question is too small, and every mum feels welcome.

  • "straight talking and honest support"

    Julie’s antenatal class was fab! This is for you if you want straight talking and honest support during your pregnancy. A bit of a natter, some yoga and breathing and some education each week which left me feeling like I might start to have a clue what to do when baby arrives. Julie is so kind and giving of her time, she remembers your situation week to week so you do feel very much looked after.

  • "expert knowledge"

    I attended this Breast feeding workshop in Airdrie and it was fantastic! Angela from Latch On Lanarkshire created a friendly, relaxed atmosphere! Her expert knowledge has really helped me to feel confident and supported when my baby arrives next month.

    The information covered was superior to any class I've attended before (including my NHS classes)!

    ...and the fact that the fee collected is given to Bear Necessities Charity in Lanarkshire is a lovely Brucey Bonus! 😊

    Highly recommend 💕🤰🤰

  • "I couldn't recommend them enough"

    I attended both the weekly antenatal bumps and the couples course with Julie, and I couldn't recommend them enough. I felt quite unprepared and overwhelmed by too much information on the internet, so it was nice to have a weekly check-in to learn, ask questions and share experiences with other soon-to-be-mums. Julie is really welcoming, and instantly puts you at ease. I really looked forward to the class each week, and to be around others in the same boat. The mums are now looking to carry on our community after the classes, which I think will be a great support in our journey through motherhood.

  • "Honest insight"

    Julie has the unique ability to make you feel empowered about your upcoming birth, equipping you with honest insight to help understand your next steps and make informed decisions on what is right for you and your family. This granted my birthing partner and I the opportunity to complete our detailed birthing plan.

  • "Enjoyed my Bump class"

    I really enjoyed my Bump class and Julie is a fantastic teacher. I feel more prepared with Julie providing lots of important information and techniques to help with the birth and beyond. No question is too silly to ask and spending time with other ladies and listening to their experiences has helped me understand I am not alone with many of my thoughts and feelings and this has really helped me on my journey. Thanks again Julie!!

  • "highlight of our week"

    Julie's classes were the highlight of our week bonding with my baby, but even more so getting to know the other Mums and finding out everything I was going through or questioning, they were too. Most Mums stayed in the cafe for a cuppa / cake / lunch afterwards and we found our tribe. I've made life long friends through all of this, and become a much more confident Mum.

  • The class was really informative!

    I attended Julie’s antenatal class and at first really didn’t know what to expect. The class was really informative, Julie is so knowledgable! It was great to meet other expecting mums and chat about our experiences. I would highly recommend Julie’s class!

  • "Feel more prepared"

    I attended Julie’s bumps class and really enjoyed it. I now feel more prepared and have learned things I would never of known. Julie makes you feel so comfortable and it’s lovely to chat to other mums to be!
