A bit about me
Hi, I am Juli. I am a mother of 3 little boys and I am fascinated by all things birth and I love to offer information and inspiration to women and their birth partners during this very special time of change.
After finishing my MA in Media & Culture in Germany, Sweden and Spain, I have worked on film sets in South America and India, but for most of my professional life I have organised big film festivals in Berlin and London.
During my first pregnancy I attended a hypnobirthing course which had a profound effect on me and I felt empowered to challenge preconceptions and assumptions I had. My new confidence had a very positive impact on how I approached and experienced the births of my 3 babies.
I got really interested in the politics around birth as well as the emotional journey of women and couples during this time and have since trained as Hypnobirthing Teacher with the inspiring Katharine Graves, as a Doula with Nurturing Birth and birth pioneer Michel Odent and Lilliana Lammers and as Pregnancy Yoga Teacher with knowledgeable Nadia Narain and her wonderful team
Growing a baby and giving birth is one of the most amazing achievements in life and every woman and birthing person can feel strong, proud and empowered no matter what type of birth they have. I strongly believe that we all deserves a positive birth experience and a joyful transition into parenthood and I am passionate to share my knowledge and help support you on this life changing journey.
“Juli really helped me to imagine a positive birth experience. So much information that circulates about birth and early parenting is about fear, bad experiences and sleep deprivation. Juli cared for me and helped me to see what an expansive and personally transformative experience birthing a baby can be for a new mum, it really made me see the whole experience differently and moulded my approach to the birth and those early days”

Let´s make your birth a positive one, no matter how it unfolds.
A positive birth is not about where or how you give birth, it is about how you feel when you give birth. And there is a lot you can do to feel empowered, confident and calm equipping yourself with strategies and tools that you can rely on, even if birth is never predictable.
Oh Happy Birth offers a complete antenatal programme combining the best of Hypnobirthing, Mindfulness and Pregnancy Yoga helping you to prepare emotionally, mentally and physically for the birth of your baby, the birth of your family.
My logical and evidence-based approach will transform the way you think and therefore feel about birth, help you achieve and practise a positive mindset and equip you with all necessary tools and strategies for a harmonious birth and postpartum experience.
Knowledge is power and by understanding the ideal birthing conditions, knowing about your rights and choices and preparing yourself for all the eventualities, you will maximise your chances to have a truly positive birth experience.
“The most important knowledge you can gather in preparation for birth is self knowledge - knowledge about what your body and mind need to feel safe enough to trust your instinct and intuition. ”
