Making the decision to have a child—it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

About the Trainer

Julie Brill, CCCE, has been teaching childbirth classes for fifteen years. She graduated from Tufts University with a degree in Sociology and Women's Studies and completed the Massachusetts Midwifery Alliance Apprenticeship Course. A certified childbirth educator with CAPPA and ALACE, Julie has also attended births as a midwifery apprentice and labor doula. Her perinatal articles have appeared in Midwifery Today, ePregnancy, Spirit of Change, The Boston Parents' Paper B.A.B.Y. edition, Parenting from the Heart, Special Delivery Magazine, and the CAPPA Quarterly.

 Julie loves working with birthing families. In her classes, she strives to provide accurate information and tools so that each birthing woman can choose the birth that is best for her. Julie believes that birth is a normal, natural event with the potential to be extremely empowering. Julie is thrilled to be the CAPPA teacher trainer for Massachusetts and to have the opportunity to mentor new childbirth educators.

She is the home schooling mom of two daughters, ages twelve and eight. She and her daughters love exploring the natural world, crafting, baking and eating chocolate chip cookies, and enjoying books together. Julie likes to read, especially historical fiction, knit, spin, travel, cross country ski, horseback ride, hike, garden and kayak. She and her family share their home with a cat and a Golden Retriever and their yard with chickens and dairy goats.

 

"I very much enjoyed my childbirth class with Julie. It was a great chance for me to learn more about pregnancy and childbirth. It was the one time each week where I could really focus on my pregnancy, my baby, and what was to come. Most of us who took the class together have stayed in touch and that has been a tremendous support system for me."
-Amy L., Mom and Former Childbirth Student

"Julie has been an excellent childbirth educator in our community for many years. I have referred my patients to her whenever possible. She's passionate about birth, and caring not just for her own clientele but for the community as a whole."
Natasha Hawke, Midwife
