  • "An awe inspiring, carefully curated course that has left me feeling so well informed and confident. Calli and Jocie are both incredibly knowledgable and share their wisdom with such kindness and clarity. They both created such a safe and nurturing space to navigate the complexities of pregnancy and birth."— Ainslee

  • So grateful to have found this training. I had been looking for a prenatal training for a while that took an embodied approach and was focused on what a pregnant body CAN do - this was exactly what this training was. I learnt how to support a pregnant person throughout their pregnancy in functional ways, yet from an embodied perspective. Loved it! Thank you! - Sam B

  • Jocie and Calli’s collective experience and knowledge was so inspiring and helpful. The movement practices throughout the course were an absolute dream! - Caz

  • Calli and Jocie are founts of knowledge, and it was such a privilege to be able to learn from them through lectures, discussions, and embodied practice. Their approach to prenatal yoga shifts the narrative from what can't be done in pregnancy to showing students all the amazing things their bodies are capable of, and empowering them in this incredible journey. I've come away from the course feeling inspired and confident in not only modifying classes for pregnancy, but teaching pregnancy-focused classes, assisting clients through the different stages of their pregnancy, preparing and empowering them for labour, and guiding them in learning to trust in their innate wisdom. - Katya

  • I’m still feeling the ripples months later from what has been my favourite training to date. There was just the most beautiful sense of connection and community, making for such a safe space to learn and soak up all this mind-bending (in the best way) information. Never once did I feel uncomfortable to not know something or to ask questions. I was really sad when it ended and already can’t wait to attend another CPD with embodied beings! It’s a very special way to share and soak up knowledge that I truly believe makes all the lives around you softer and richer. Very very grateful for both Jocie’s & Calli’s constant kindness and deep understanding and wisdom surrounding all things in the Prenatel world. Thank you both - Meg M

  • WOW!! What can I say, I got so much more from this course than I could have ever imagined. Being in early stages of pregnancy while doing the course has literally given me so much reassurance, confidence and empowerment. I feel like it will transform my own pregnancy journey, birth and my yoga practice, but I love I can share this incredibly valuable knowledge and help to also empower others. Thank you Calli & Jocie so much, your wisdom and passion for this subject is just amazing and I loved being part of it. - Emma P

  • I absolutely loved this CPD, both Calli and Josie's knowledge really complimented each other covering lots of important topics surrounding both pregnancy and birth. It felt like a powerful collective experience of women getting together talking about something we are just not taught about enough! I found it quite emotional and empowering all at the same time. I signed up for self knowledge but I do now feel confident to guide pregnant people thorough practice that's not focused on fear. Theres so much in there I'm sure I will keep going back to over the years as the information is so rich. Big thanks to both of you. Very Grateful, - Grace
