Course Options > One Day Super Condensed Workshop
An excellent Super- condensed intensive birth and baby preparation program, held on one Sunday a month, ideally designed for:
- very busy couples having their first baby; or
- those couples who have had a previous birth(s) and want to refresh their knowledge and skills; or
- shift workers unable to attend the weekly program due to work committments
This popular course is very thorough, yet time efficient.
Only $300/couple and further discounted when combined with the wonderfully popular calmbirth course, a very good combination.
In the morning, we will cover labour and birth options, including positions and self-help for the labouring woman, also good, useful strategies for the support partner, what to pack for labour, when to go to hospital, how to identify the difference between pre-labour and real labour.
During the afternoon, our focus is on looking after a little newborn baby during the first 12 weeks in a very positive way. Being able to read the baby's body language and their variety of cry "signals" helps parents-to-be feel they can trust their intuition and look forward to getting to know their baby. You will learn how to wrap, feed, and bath your baby; how to understand crying, sleep and settling; including mothers and fathers equally. The afternoon session on baby care really helps couples feel much more confident as a team for becoming parents.
Julie covers many of the aspects that midwives in delivery suites and birth centres would like couples to be aware of, though they often don't have the time/resources to convey. Julie enables couples to work as a team with staff in hospitals, by becoming informed of the facilities, as well as their rights and responsibilities during their usually fairly short stay in hospital.
The super condensed birth/baby course is efficiently wrapped into just one Sunday, and is offered once a month. Extensive up-to-date course notes, are provided - good notes for you to take home and keep for future reference.
The super-condensed intensive course commences at 9.00am. Morning tea is included during the break times, with bottomless beverages: tea, herbal tea, coffee, and fruit juices. Lunch is BYO, microwave and refrigeration available. Couples usually sit, relax and chat in the lovely, peaceful garden enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. Picnic blankets and seating is provided. Indoors, the venue is air-conditioned, cool in summer and cosy warm in winter. Scroll right to the bottom of this page for some pics of lunch.
During this week only: for phone bookings Julie is granting an extra discount for those who select to do both courses, take a good look around the website, select your chosen dates and then ring Julie with your request for the "extra" discount for this week only!
Refreshers (experienced parents with children already) find this course ideal for their needs and they only need a babysitter for one day which is very convenient. Older children who are keen to be involved and perhaps even keen to attend the birth of their baby brother or sister are also welcome to attend at no extra charge, depending on bookings and group size... just check in prior with Julie for current details.
Pre-payment is required to secure your position in the course, unless by special arrangement with Julie.
Ring Julie for bookings and enquiries 9544 6441
This course is generously discounted when booked together with the calmbirth course.
Julie's library is not open to those who book into only the one-day super-condensed intensive course, but is open to those doing all the other courses as well as the combination of two courses booking. The reason for this is the difficulty having items returned, Feel welcome to discuss this with Julie if it is an issue.
There is no doubt the one day workshop is very popular with busy couples, however the 2-day course is superior and so is the 6-week course for meeting your needs in a better paced learning style. Be kind to yourself, if you can possibly fit in a longer course go for it! You'll be doing yourself a favour. Julie respects everyone is in the best position to judge for themselves which course will be most suitable for them and their needs, so don't worry she won't pressure 
you to do the longer course, she just wanted it mentioned that's all :-)
