Julie is a  mother of two , she has a nursing background, though  more recently she obtained 
a first class degree in Women's Health, where she became interested in pregnancy and childbirth.

In 1999 she trained as a Doula under the guidance of the world renowned  Dr Michael Odent. 
and is now a  member and recognised birth doula of Doula UK.
She sat on the Maternity Services Liaison Committee for her Health Authority region 
during her involvement  as a councillor with the local Community Health Council, when she also
campaigned for a birthing pool for her local hospital.

In 2004 Julie trained as a practitioner in birth hypnosis so that she 
could offer women a more natural, gentle, and calmer approach during birthing.
This was followed by a workshop in Natal Hypnotherapy and she also qualified 
as an Essential Oil Therapist in 2002
