After birth there is a Sacred Window of time…a time for complete rejuvenation of a woman’s physical, mental and spiritual health...a time for deep, extended bonding with her newborn... The first 42 days after birth set the stage for her next 42 years.— Ysha Oakes
-----------------------------------------------
Birth is about making mums too.
-----------------------------------------------
This crowdfunding campaign will pre-sell spots in the course to raise the funds to cover the costs of technology and design required to create a world class professional development resource.
PAYMENT PLANS NOW AVAILABLE!
Newborn Mothers Postpartum Training is for birth professionals who believe that birth is about making mums too. It is available as a two day training face-to-face in Perth on the 19th and 20th of September or online, anywhere in the world, starting in November.
There’s never been more books, videos, research and workshops on parenting and babies. We are suffering from information overload, yet we still aren’t finding peace and joy in our transition to motherhood.
Our culture values more masculine ways of learning including analytical thought and problem solving. This has led to the commodification of motherhood and sabotaged mothers by placing the knowledge outside of us, in the hands of experts.
Newborn Mothers Postpartum Training will change the way you work with pregnant women and new mums. You will get the tools and skills you need to elevate women above the experts and advice paradigm. You will show mothers how to make the first six weeks after childbirth the best six weeks of their life.
-----------------------------------------------

What birth professionals have to say about this course
And don't take my word for it, here is what some of the professionals I have trained with have to say:
-----------------------------------------------
"I would recommend this course to everyone! Men and women, doulas and non-doulas. These topics are so important to society and humanity as a whole"
Courtney Smith
Postnatal Doula
-----------------------------------------------
"I think most of us who find ourselves working in the pregnancy and postnatal industry have our own story that we are trying to work through. I had a wonderful birth experience with the birth of my daughter. But, the postpartum period for me was like a hurricane.
After the training, like boulders being rumbled in my mind and eventually polished, the concepts you shared have been simmering and working their way into my daily life. It has helped me to add another important layer within my journey, in determining my sense of self as Nikki and Mum.
Something has been disrupted within me since I began eating differently, and massaging my body. It's like I have stirred up the dark wounds that never healed after giving birth. I am listening to my body in a different way, understanding myself as a Vata and what my tendencies are."
Nikki Hunt
Hypnobirthing Practitioner
-----------------------------------------------
"Thanks Julia, it was just brilliant! Been giving my boys lots of extra oxytocin cuddles since the weekend too!! oh - and i have just made up some lactation tea and some ghee so I can make your zucchini soup for a new mamma tomorrow!! :)"
Kristy Brookes
Steiner Mother's Group Facilitator
-----------------------------------------------
"Julia, Thank you so much for this weekend. Your own passion for supporting women through the postpartum period and beyond shines through so brightly. I know I'll have so many questions, so you'll be hearing more from me.
To the beautiful caterers, it was obvious that the food you prepared was made with love and care. It was such healing food and was just what I needed. Thank you.
And to my doula sisters thank you for sharing what you did all weekend, this profession truly attracts a certain breed of woman. Much love to you all."

How The Funds Will Be Used
I'm crowdfunding to pre-sell spots in the course to raise the funds to turn my content into an online course. The funds raised will cover the costs of technology and design required to create a world class professional development resource.
Your support will cover the following costs associated with developing Newborn Mothers Postpartum Training:
- Application for accreditation for Continuing Education Points with the Australia College of Midwives, DONA International, Lamaze International, American College of Nurse-Midwives, Yoga Australia and more. (Let me know if yours isn't on the list and I'll add it)
- Technology and software required to deliver the eCourse.
- Venue and catering for the Perth training event.
- Branding and design.
- Virtual assistant for transcriptions and administrative work.
- Instructional design consultancy to create a high quality online learning experience.
- Pozible and credit card fees.
Because it takes a village, I've got a great team working with me to make this happen including designer (and Newborn Mother) Cristina Londono, creating quality learning experiences consultant Maria Doyle and virtual assistant Emily Cooper.

The Challenges
I have created a three online courses already and am confident with my skills and experience, and the technology I have chosen.
I have also facilitated the Postpartum Training face-to-face twice in Perth before and have refined and improved the content each time.
The biggest variable in my success is my family! As a mother of two young children my time is precious, and extremely limited. I have budgeted for my excellent virtual assistant to support me. This means that even if my kids get sick or decide to stop sleeping, we should still be able to stick to timelines.
